Subject: Best framework to LUA developing in Tablets? Is it possible?

Hello all.

I am pretty new to LUA.

I had heard of it over a year or so, but thought it was just for game development.

Now we are looking forward to develop some small software utilities for engineers to be used with a tablet.

We would like to run de apps in iPads and Android tablets (and probably windows 8 in the future).

Having the apps running under windows o linux would be great (in a traditional form, with keyboard and mouse).

[ Other general requirements for product development snipped ]

You might find Crank Software's Storyboard Suite to be of interest [1].

It supports most major embedded platforms including Android and Linux based platforms. It is designed specifically for

application UI development and supports a "direct from PSD" model for initial application import meaning that you

don't have to spend time mucking around trying to re-skin widgets to get the look and feel you want.

Of course relevant to your main question ... all of its glue logic and system integration is done using Lua!
