I’m writing a business app for ios and android and looking at my options.

  • 0

I’m writing a business app for ios and android and looking at my options. I read that Corona SDK uses Lua.

If this were a straight web app, I would build my php to return json and consume it with a presentation layer using Jquery ajax, html, css.

I’m not sure how I do this with the Corona SDK. Am I misapplying the SDK? I don’t need to make a game. I just want a supported abstracted layer so I don’t have to learn objective-c or something else for android.

I’m not sure what Corona is for or if I am not supposed to use it for business apps. I would like to learn Lua, though.

Thank you.

    I like Corona a lot, but given your constraints, you will probably be better off with phonegap – http://phonegap.com/

    The apps are done in javascript, html and css, so you should already be familiar with it. Consuming JSON should be very easy to do in Javascript.
