PHP development for desktop applications

Well, this one's novel:

Using PHP to build desktop apps. The technique uses appcelerator's Titanium toolkit to build mobile, and yes desktop, apps with HTML5 (JS and CSS) and any of of a number of lightweight scripting languages, like Ruby, Python and PHP. We know about appcelerator because they recently aquired Aptana, which we liked when we were plunked down in front of our Linux computers working, working, working.

TechMaine's PHP User Group tonight is showing off what PHP can do on the desktop tonight at Tap Tapas on Fore Street. It should be fun!

Here's the poop:
