Hey David,

Yep that’s right Regarding a site with a good cross-section of information on that topic, unfortunately no I don’t…

Depending on what you are wanting to achieve you can pick up one of the iPhone Web App books and apply most of what is described there – just depends on how “cutting edge” an application you are trying to build.

Cheers,
Damon.

I see on amazon that you have a book coming out on web app development for Android and Chrome! I need it now! Do you know of a site that contains a lot of tips and tricks on this subject? Information seems very scattered and incomplete. Just like it was for iPhone/iPad web app development.

Thanks

@florin – Great point mate. If you get a chance shoot me an email through my contact us page or connect via LinkedIn. I’ve got some stuff in the pipeline at the moment that I’ll probably blog about sometime, but it would definitely benefit from someone with your frankness and critical eye.

Cheers,
Damon.

Why is it that none of the mentioned frameworks have good documentation except short introductions on how to setup an IDE or other minimal info? I’m interested in android development and there’s scarcely any information about it. More so, the tendency is to rely on ruby or python even if javascript is the language that matters?

Hello,
Great article.
Btw what is the difference between mobile cross platform native development and mobile cross platform web development?

Fount this product on a web search. However, I did not find any independent reviews or comments and never tried it myself. http://developer.openplug.com

Thanks for the article. I’ve came up with the same conclusion as well. Appcelerator initially looked great becuase I could use Python, but was lacking in the “sync” department.

Rhodes rhomobile/rhosync is definitely the best way to go if you need to have offline data capability that is smart on how it sync’s. Allot of the newer mobile dev kits seem to forget about having offline data access and creation.

Comment on AppEngine and Resource Performance: Why you need a CDN by Damon

Thanks for the feedback Gary – glad the site loads up nice and quick (admittedly it’s not doing anything too fancy at the moment). Actually since writing this post, it’s possible CloudFront has gotten a little bit faster again for us here in Australia with the Singapore / Hong Kong edge locations coming online. Difference is probably minimal from the Japan edge nodes we would have been served from previously, but every little bit helps.

Thanks for the info Damon. I’m doing a bit of work in trying to get my sites quicker and am investigating the CloudFront route.
By the way, from a Sydney users perspective, http://www.sidelab.com loads incredibly quickly.
