gitTio acquired by Axway Appcelerator

It has been 1,5 year since I left Appcelerator and after a short adventure at The Things Network I joined Zapier about a year ago. From mobile, to long-range wireless hardware to a platform that connects 750+ cloud apps. No More Titanium I’m at my best when I can focus. That focus is now Zapier. […]

I’m building a Titanium Geo Tracking App for Compassion

As you might have heard, I have big plans this summer. I hope to cycle 400km through Rwanda (Africa) and raise €10,000 in funds for Compassion, a children aid charity. Obviously this means I’m on my bike a lot these days and as a nerd of course I’ve been tracking all my rides using Ride […]

Lezing voor Ngi-NGN op De Haagse Hogeschool

Gisteren mocht ik een lezing houden voor de Special Interest Group (SIG) “Apps” en de Regio Den Haag van Ngi-NGN. Het publiek bestond uit een bijzondere mix van studenten, docenten, maar ook leden van Ngi-NGN zoals Rijkswaterstaat en de Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens. Het eerste uur heb ik geprobeerd een duidelijk beeld te schetsen van Appcelerator en […]

Getting Started with Titanium & Alloy

Once or twice a year the Appcelerator Titanium meetup group in Amsterdam throws a Getting Started event. We started 2016 with such an event last week and welcomed a lot of new members that were considering or just started to use Titanium. We are 344 TiDevs now! Principles rather than code Pierre van de Velde and myself took […]

Developer Forum at European multinational

A European multinational invited me to speak at an internal developer forum last week. As you’d probably see at other companies of this size, different divisions use different tools to achieve the same goals. A cross-division forum like this is a great way to share knowledge and learn from current and potential partners. Centralising might […]

Mobilization 2015, Poland

I really looked forward to Mobilization in Łódź, Poland. It’s one of the biggest mobile conferences in the area and they have this weird army-theme with people dressed in army clothes and even wearing fake (I hope) grenades. We’d have a speakers city trip on Sunday, drink some local wodka; what can you expect more […]

Ti.MarkerManager Rainer Schleevoigt kicked off with a talk about his library ti.markermanager to display huge amounts annotations on a ti.map View. The demo (who […]

Compatibility module for unified and global Appcelerator CLIs

Since 4.0, the Appcelerator Platform has a single appc CLI that bundles local versions of the former ti, alloy and acs CLI. You can still use the embedded CLIs by calling appc ti instead of ti. You can also still install the other three CLIs directly from NPM, in particular to work on projects that […]

Major rewrite for a TiNy CLI

The Titanium 3.4.0 CLI includes a hack (well, a hook actually) to select Xcode 5 for Titanium SDK 3.3.x and older and Xcode 6 for Titanium 3.4.x and newer. This hook expects the CLI’s build command to be followed by a platform and/or sdk option. Unfortunately this hooks runs before the TiNy hook can possibly […]
