So far I’ve tried all of these tools for mobile apps development:

• Xcode
• jQueryMobile + PhoneGap
• nimblekit
• Titanium Developer

Xcode is of course the very right tool to develop iPhone native apps. I still hope I can master this tool which is depends on how fast I can understand Objective C. To understand is one thing, to put all of it together is another thing.

jQueryMobile is great but I’ve problems to port it with PhoneGap. So I gave up on the combination of these two.

So I use jQueryMobile as a base for my first mobile web apps: AlorStar.com. So far it works great.

Nimblekit is also great. But thinking to fork another $99 – beside Apple’s iOS Developer Program enrollment fee which is also $99 – alone make me hold back.

Now, enter Titanium Developer!

Looks great… but I already found some bad comments.. so probably I shouldn’t give much hope on this one either. But I’ll of course give it a try btw.

The best bet is to continue mastering Objective C and all things Cocoa. But I can’t help but to try anything I’m familiar with.

So, I rate it as a success when I can use jQuery Mobile(JavaScript + CSS + HTML) for AlorStar.com. This project is combining the jQM with the use of WordPress. So I master two skills with only one project.

Let’s hope that I can do well in native apps. After all, it’s my career is at stake!
