All your editing will be done in your www folder.

To use the opentok library, make sure you include opentok.js file in your HTML document.
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="opentok.js"></script>

All JavaScript code should be written in deviceready function in /js/index.js because it is executed after all dependencies has loaded.

deviceready: function() {
    // Do Your Stuff Here!
},

To view and interact with elements on the browser console, use weinre. Here's a few things to take note of if you are using weinre on a local network:

• make sure all devices are connected to the same network
• make sure you bind weinre to 0.0.0.0 so your mobile devices: weinre --boundHost 0.0.0.0
• when you include the js library from weinre, make sure to use your computer's ip address and not localhost!
