theKIttsy Twitter

Hi Guys, Gals and Creatures of Buzztouch, Going through a bit of rebranding have opened a new Twitter account @theKittsy I have had twitter before @kittsapps but I really only ever used it for testing so anyone who followed me would have seen either test, test1,tester, testercles or sausages and the occasional stack social post so I can get my free schizz. Anyway, people ask me how I code and make lovely stuff blah, blah blah. Well I do an absolute shite load of tutorials, I go to Uni, I do loads of online courses, teach yourself java, php the list goes on. Well all these sites have twitter so I am going to make the conscious effort to take my twitter followers on the journey with me. I will tweet every link, every post, every interesting article, I will tweet what software I'm buying. This will hopefully become a joyous experience and kind of a diary. This will be combined with my new site of which again will be a kind of coding blog www.kittsy.co.uk don't bother going on it yet because there is nothing there yet other than a big picture of my ugly mug on a basic wordpress page. Also my other plan is to make use of github more and start forking some open source stuff to work with Buzztouch in a drag and drop capacity with a few lines of installation code. After all if it doesn't have any control in the control panel is it actually a plugin, this will hopefully spread and we can knock some good stuff up, I'm not talking menu's I'm thinking banner ads, in app, game centre, bluetooth integration, custom map callouts etc. I have already began work on a Buzztouch helper class something I have found myself using over the past few months, giving you access to regular called methods that you hard code in all the time. Examples Find the one version of the Favorites plugin and give me screen details. Get me a BT_color with transparency of 0.5, you like that one it's a staple factor of ios7 Open view controller with item type Custom Transitions This class could get big, but if everyone chips in we could have some cool code and shortcuts. Anyway sorry for the massive post and please do follow me @theKittsy otherwise I will be just talking to myself and MacApple. In a bit lids

Hey kitts (corrections 2 ands after Worker, website one word after development 2nd paragraph. following now. cool! Fyi we Niraj and I demoed your carousel last night audience of developers loved it. I recorded it Niraj showcased what buzztouch plugins can do. I guess its that BT Evangelist in him. Hey, I’m Andy Kitts AKA ‘Kittsy’. I am a part time student studying Computer Science, a full time Drug Worker and and iOS Developer on the side. I like to keep my fingers in a few pies. I design and build custom plugins for an awesome app development web site called Buzztouch. This website gives people the power to create amazing mobile applications for Android and iOS. I like to think of myself who makes the Buzztouch apps look a little sexier.

I do indeed like opening people' eyes to BT on a face-to-face basis. We will give them more exposure next month with a quick show-tell of Control Panel and the ensuing magic.

Twitter gets me major stressed. Maybe I should start over and dump all those I follow. That will clean out the most of the driftwood floating past when I am not watching.

I see @the Kittsy describes himself as a Mobile App Developer. Would that abbreviate as MAD? -just interested, as I have been playing about with potential company names... I'm Chris Crowder, so I was thinking along the lines of 'Crowder Apps' or CRAPP for short. Do you think potential clients would pay for CRAPP solutions? I might be CRAPP, but Kittsy you are the (MAD) man! :)

Kittsy Twitter should pay you for this. I never really used twitter before or looked at it. But I downloaded the app this morning and checked out your feed. Hows that android game coming along?

Awesome, following. Love twitter just for the fact that it helps deal with the TLDR problem of every technical article. I just started contemplating using github more for some of these rogue plugins I tinker with as well. Curious to see how you set up a repository for a BT plugin, esp if you fork another repository and turn it into a BT plugin. I was thinking some kind of BTCONFIG folder that could be used to store the BT Specific stuff. Send a tweet when you set up a repository so I can look at it and try to mimic your setup, maybe create some standards? My empty BT account on github is here - https://github.com/skompdev/BTplugins

Followed! What is really useful with Twitter, I find, is that you can link it to a Facebook page, so your tweets are automatically on Facebook, which gets you on another social network, which can only be a good thing. @AnnandaleApps
