TLDR summary:
"I recently upgraded from a mid-2008 17″ MacBook Pro to a mid-2012 13″ MacBook Air"
"I finally had statistical evidence to backup the feelings shared in the development community that Apple doesn’t prioritize OS X anymore"
iOS happened. Technology progresses. You adapt. iOS also gives you another platform to target and make apps for.
- z3phyr 14y agoHow to create software on a tablet?(not for a tablet) Consumerism is --- all the touch interface support, dropping the desktops and laptops, dropping the workstations, and paving the way for not-developer-freindly tablets, glasses, cellphones, put anything.
- mtgx 14y agoYou can do Android development on Android tablets with AIDE: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5haWRlLnVpIl0 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui.... I think Google needs to do more in the future about making Android useful or compelling for large screens, too, though.
- z3phyr 14y agoSoftware can also be developed using SL4A.... The problem is, tablets do not provide the native - feel at home - environment to the programmers. To me, and probably to any serious developer out there, desktops (with maybe a tilling wm) provide the best dev environment. If you don't believe it... Try to give your desktop a tablet like interface with something like Gnome3 or metroUI and then see the difference ;) . The touch interface is not designed for power users. It is designed for the people who like to have beer and listen to music.
