Interview with Keith Storm @ Lightning Hammer
Why did you choose titanium?
We chose Titanium because we come from a web development background. We had never used Objective-C and Titanium allowed us to use technologies we were already familiar with. Plus Titanium is cross platform, so we will have an app that runs on iOS and android that is managed from the same code base.
What was the hardest difficulties to overcome?
Our hardest difficultly is currently customizing the UI for android. It’s a challenge, but overall Titanium is a great platform to work with.
How did you find the Appcelerator documentation?
The Appcelerator documentation is pretty good and it’s getting better every day. If I couldn’t find the answer to a problem in the documentation, I usually could find the solution in the Q&A. Titanium Studio also has documentation built in that helps out as you code.
