[consulting] Mobile App pulling Drupal Data

[Nick Vidal]

Hi Sam,

I really like Sencha Touch, which is a modern open source JS framework that
makes it easy to build not only Mobile Apps that work on IOS or Android,
but also directly from the Web:

http://www.sencha.com/products/touch

On their demos page you'll find apps that pull updates from blog, twitter,
and weather. Here is one for twitter:

I have a few examples of my own, but I prefer to share them privately in
respect to my clients.

But this one I built for DrupalCamp Brazil 2011:

http://foz.iss.im/

This one is quite interesting because it's Sencha Touch in the frontend,
and 3 Drupals in the backend. I'm using a different Drupal site to serve
data for each language. This was part of my talk demonstrating that we can
access different services from a unique interface. BTW, in this event we
had the honor to receive Dries Buytaert for the first time in Latin
America. This was the 'desktop' site:

http://foz2011.drupal-latino.org/en

There is only one negative point of Sencha Touch: it only works on Webkit
browsers (Google Chrome, Safari). Support for Windows mobile and BlackBerry
are landing. Firefox is uncertain.

If you need any more information, please let me know, and I'll be glad to
help.

Kind regards,
Nick
