Show #88: Jeff Haynie of Appcelerator

The Startup Success Podcast

This week Bob and Pat talk again with Jeff Haynie, founder of Appcelerator, an open-source web technology for building native code desktop, mobile and web applications.

We interviewed Jeff back in Show #33 about a year ago: with how raging hot mobile is today, we thought we should catch up with Appcelerator, their Open Source tool for coding cross-platform while compiling native code binaries.

How has the past year been for Appcelerator? Well, there are about 6,000 apps in the Apple iPhone/iPad Store that were written using Appcelerator, and they just nailed down $9 million in Series B funding.

If you have been flirting with the idea of doing a mobile app, you definitely want to check out Appcelerator.

Note: We’re moving this site to WPEngine this coming week (for sure this time! – I’ve been swamped.).
