I’m an Ext veteran but have a few rather simple mobile apps i need to create and naturally i’m looking at sencha touch. Ting is – most of the examples don’t run up in Firefox/Opera.
I’m happily using Monodevelop as my IDE – this will have an Asp.NET backend – but can’t even get the most basic setup working with ST….
What does everyone use for their development setups? How do you debug your apps?
I’m working in a vaguely similar scenario, and I mostly go for Google Chrome’s Developer Tools or sometimes Safari developer tools, that’s far from perfect but at least something.
However, I often try to isolate out problems not directly tied to the interface and then go back and solve them with Firefox/Firebug, which I find the absolutely superior development environment. It’s often more than you think, especially if you’re experienced with TDD. Try QUnit, for example ( http://docs.jquery.com/QUnit ).
It’s probably possible to use Apple’s developer tools (XCode/Dashcode or whatever..) for a more ergonomic experience, but I still can’t be bothered.
(Here’s to hoping for more compatible mobile web frameworks! I want my Firebug!)
