Native applications are built differently. iOS applications are built with Xcode IDE, Objective-C for the programming language and they use Apple's documentation. Android applications are built with Eclipse or Netbeans, Java as the programming language and use Google's documentation. Windows Phone applications are built with Visual Studio, C# as the programming language and use Microsoft's documentation.
However, mobile applications are built with web technologies. HTML for structure, CSS for styling and JavaScript for the business logic. Take a look at our documentation (short slide decks that tackle very specific features) and sample projects to get a better idea:
