Appcelerator has been around for a few years and has changed quite a bit since it's initial release. The framework has recently gained ground and has over 300,000 registered developers. An updated API, training resources, and available plug-ins/modules have aided in it's recent growth in popularity.
At this meetup, I'll aim to show how easy it is to get started with Appcelerator and try and answer the following questions:
* What are the proper use cases for Appcelerator, is it an end all be all solution?
* Using a compiled cross-platform framework always "sounds good", but rarely works out in real life. What kind of issues will I run into, how can I fix them?
* How does Appcelerator compare to other popular mobile frameworks, especially CoronaSDK and PhoneGap?
You don't have to be a professional JavaScript programmer to understand most of the concepts discussed at this meetup, although it would help.
Look forward to seeing you there!
