Back in the beginning (we're talking the 80's here), I wrote my first piece of code in 8086 assember and I've migrated to C (had one of the original windows SDKs), C++, ASP, .NET over to PHP, javascript and prototype etc. I'm not generally the swiftest coder out there but given enough time I can generally figure out solutions to even the most complex of problems and I can honestly say that SENCHA completely escapes me! I couldn't get a single one of their demos to work and it was nearly impossible to extend it to anything remotely useful (i.e. capturing a users location). After emailing people who claimed to have their ap up and running in 1 day and learning it was marketing hype, I finally just walked away from it...
Scripty looked promising but it is being developed very slowly... painfully so... I've looked at a number of other "silver bullet" solutions and nothing really exists. I finally relented and hired a shop to write the mobile apps. It would be nice if someone would write a nice "device abstraction layer" but I dont see that happening... at least not a freebie!
