Hi Martin, Writing efficient apps doesn't have to be efficient or difficult - it just takes experience. Further, if you don't expect your app to scale to hundreds of requests per second, you may not have to worry about efficiency a great deal - and if you do care about that, then you'd have to worry about efficiency whatever platform you were running on.
We don't have a magic way to make apps scale indefinitely if they don't have a certain degree of efficiency to begin with - hence why you need to be prepared to invest at least a little time into optimisation if you want your app to run on any platform. -Nick Johnson On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 11:01 PM, Martin Webb <[email protected]> wrote: > I think on this point one should also consider that whilst the mighty > google can afford to invest time and money in building apps that run > lightning quik. sadly most of us developers dont have the huge man power > technology and needed cash to do the same.
