Kohana Formatting Conventions for Aptana and Titanium Studio

Tue, December 27, 2011 No Comments by Clayton McIlrath

Ever since our dev team decided to adopt Kohana’s formatting standards and conventions, we’ve found our code to be a lot more agile, and easy to work on.

It doesn’t do much yet.. just account creation, login and some simple credits/expenses tracking, but given the fact that this was a from-scratch project and took less than an hour to build.. it shows the power of knowing the right frameworks and development environments.
