Since I wanted to decrease the number of apps my poor Mini has to run at any given time, I don't think I'll be using AppCode (though I might forward it on to my usual iPhone developer), but I'll definitely be checking out their other applications!

It's a derivative of IntelliJ (a Java IDE like NetBeans), and comes with a an excellent built-in javascript editor. It's in early beta at the moment, but even for native Objective-C development, it's amazing. Prior to that, I actually used Rubymine (a Ruby IDE by the same company) to edit my Appcelerator javascript files. Scott Hey Shauna,

I think the inheritance scheme you found is exactly what I was looking for for refactoring a Titanium project I'm dealing with. I noticed you mentioned that you use Xcode for your development. I'm by no means an iPhone developer, so I don't know much about using Xcode beyond loading the project, running sims, and making packages for release on TestFlight (if you haven't used it, it's an awesome resource for releasing an iOS app for others to test). Like you, I find Appcelerator's tools...lacking (when I started the project, Studio hadn't come out yet, so I was using NetBeans for editing and Developer to build, but it's quite a bit for my poor Mini). I don't even care for Eclipse, and Studio is even worse, so I've been trying to find a way to work with it that isn't so painful. How do you go about editing the JavaScript in Xcode? The project I open only has the native files, that I can tell. As I mentioned, I'm not very familiar with Xcode, so it's possible I'm missing something obvious, but I would like to try using it for working with my projects if it's at all possible.

For example, in building a navigation controller-based app, I typically pass a pointer to the nav controller to any windows I add to the stack. That being said, there are more hacky ways to do it, but I've never had much luck with this method.

Is there a way to create global variables? E.g. I want to access a certain value across all my controllers and views. Thanks. Hi,

Nice implementation!

Is there a way to create global variables? E.g. I want to access a certain value across all my controllers and views.

Thanks.

Can you point me to examples of projects using this? Would be really helpful to see the code in use…
