Fundamentals of Appcelerator

Appcelerator (http://www.appcelerator.com/) 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 (http://www.appcelerator.com/) 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!
