Enjoy! PhoneGap is an open-source framework for developing cross-platform mobile applications. The project itself was initially started in 2008 by Nitobi, a Canadian web development company. During an iPhone Development Camp, the team at Nitoby tried to create a new technology that would bridge the gap between mobile and web technologies.
React Native could be an alternative, it's still pretty new (especially for Android) but has some good thinkers behind it at Facebook and would be easy to learn if you know ReactJS.
There's also solutions such as Titanium Appcelerator.
I have dabbled in both and found them both fairly approachable - I have been able to get quick proof of concepts done quickly. I don't have any direct experience taking an app written with either to the App Store though.
