Best way to make cross-platform apps? [closed]

My question is: what is the best/easiest way to make cross-platform apps/games? iOS and Android - and Windows Phone if possible.

I have read about many different ways. HTML5 and JavaScript - and then just the overall implementation for the specific platforms. I have read about some 'converting tools' - fx Intel Porter Tool. And names like PhoneGap, Intel XDK, Appcelerator and Mosync and many others are showing up.

So I'm just all confused.. What would you prefer?

I'm not completely new in iOS programming, but not that much experienced either. I have made a few apps and games. Else I have a little experience with HTML and CSS. But I have never been working with HTML5 and JavaScript. I'm also aware that native platform specific apps is better that hybrid apps. But after all this I would love to hear from you : what do you prefer or not? :-)

What is the difference between cross-platform and hybrid apps?

Hybrid has limited access to device and OS features. Cross-platform has limitations but less than Hybrid, although it depends on the framework you choose. In the battle of performance, no one can match the Native app development.
