[DUG] [computing] Re: Android

[Paul A Norman]

Here is my two bobs worth...

"Titanium Mobile Development Environment...
( these figures speak for themselves...)

"Powered by the World’s Largest Open Source Mobile Community 454,534 mobile
developers in 185 countries

"We handle device and OS compatibility. You build rich native apps.

131,569,535 devices running Appcelerator- powered applications

"Open source JavaScript-based SDK with over 5,000 APIs for iOS, Android,
Windows, Blackberry and HTML5"
http://www.appcelerator.com/platform/titanium-platform/

Or you can work in php, python, or ruby -- or all four (including
JavaScript)

http://developer.appcelerator.com/blog/2013/04/adding-php-ruby-or-python-support-to-titanium-studio.html


Desktop Open Source cousin Project (can share a lot of code with above)...

http://www.tidesdk.org/

Create multi-platform desktop appswith HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript ( and or
PHP, Python, Ruby)

Worth a look eh?
