Atlanta Startup Weekend ended up being pretty cool. I met a lot of smart people and will hopefully see many of them again at the next professional gathering (whatever that might be). After three days with practically no sleep (preceeded a solid week of work), I was practically useless this past Monday. I managed to get through the day and even fix some bugs — it worked out. The cool thing is that one of my tasks for this week involves adding .Net language support for the Appcelerator framework. What’s that mean? You’ll be writing Appcelerator apps backed by a C#/C++/VB.net backend in the not too distant future.
Why would anyone care? Well, I suppose you _could_ go the ASP.net route, but Appcelerator makes for a spiffy front end and it’s reliable to boot. It’s open source, easy learning curve, and is muy badass (as far as web frameworks go). The Skribit widget was written in it (although it’s not finished — it’s missing status messages and such).
All of this means that you might be seeing me write more freeware soon — maybe some webapps, just for fun. We’ll see how it goes.
