I am well aware of SproutCore, but Capuccino is more cleaner than Sproutcore in that you just write Obj-J, not worry about HTML, CSS. The Capuccino framework works well because it's exactly like iOS kit and the native app export option is w

Wow that was fast! Congrats guys. I expected Apple to snatch Atlas for Objective-J and it would make sense for iOS Objective-C devs to jump ship easily. But, man this is a great deal for Motorola. These guys did two startups worth of work a

That's a bit unfair to judge a recently graduated startup on its current face value. I am sure they have more under the hood a-brewin'. They already solved my pain indirectly for group travel - I was screen sharing with my friends and the l

A practical/immediate suggestion: Forget about reading books and try the following for now. Don't worry about the language wars. First learn to have fun. Have a go at http://www.tryruby.org - it teaches you to code in Ruby in 15 minutes'i

Your app reminds me of http://www.flipboard.com/ It's a very cool idea to be sure. I wish there were Flipboard for the rest of us. Maybe that could be an interesting alley to explore. For inspiration, http://www.jinni.com/ has nice pict

Yes!! I've been waiting on this one for a very long time (though had some python hacks aside). But a very timely update indeed thanks! I do hope there will be a easy_install package for *nix folks.

Hartl's http://www.RailsTutorial.org/book is excellent for all levels. Also look into http://www.tryruby.org and consider using Sinatra if you really wanna jump in right away. Rails gets better with time in that it's really built for ge

You know, now that I think about it, this reminds me of Arrested Development when George Sr. rents a guy with a video cam on his head and a com to make him go places and do stuff.
