Sencha Touch 2 Developer Preview, Available Now

This video shows a side-by-side comparison of the Kitchen Sink demo orientation change on an Android Motorola Atrix in Touch 1.1 and in our latest version of Touch 2. The new layout engine in Touch 2 is so fast we had to use a high speed camera to measure it. We shot this video at 120 frames per second, then slowed the video down to ¼ speed so you can see the detail.

Sencha Touch 2 features performance updates across the board — In load time, scrolling speed, and rendering (especially on Android). Additionally, we have a whole new documentation app, which is easier to use, includes more resources, and features 11 new guides. Lastly, this release includes Native Packaging in our SDK tools, allowing you to publish your web app to the iOS App Store and Android Marketplace.

“All the code that’s fit to printf()”

A few code libraries used at the New York Times, openly released.

So programmers continue to develop iPhone apps, even though Apple continues to maltreat them. They’re like someone stuck in an abusive relationship. They’re so attracted to the iPhone that they can’t leave.
