Long time MS developer (ASP.NET, WPF, SQL Server). Lately been looking for a change and starting developing on Android. Found it a bit limiting as I really like to be agnostic as possible to platforms and devices. I was going to start learning HTML5 for this reason. Found this site and started playing around. My test is to see how difficult it will be to make a simple app and have it run on both the big A's (Apple, Android) with as little external tweaking as possible. (so no plugins that only run in one world). Wish me luck! Title Comments Hello everyone from Atlanta! Long time MS developer (ASP.NET, WPF, SQL Server).

Here's a step-by-step, illustrated doc to developing for Android with buzztouch: https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/buzztouch_For_Android-A_Users_Guide.pdf If you want as little tweaking as possible, make sure all your images and media are named using the 0_9a_z format - no capitals, dashes or special characters. That's an Android requirement, and it works for iOS as well. Saves you a ton of work! Looking forward to your many successes! Mark Comments Hi Mickey, Welcome to buzztouch!
