Twitter’s new tutorials show devs how easy it is to use Fabric

[sonia sharma]

Cannonball, an app created internally by Romain Huet to showcase how the Fabric platform can be integrated into apps, Twitter walks us through the steps needed to implement all the core functionality we may want in an app. There’s even a Github repo for Cannonball (iOS and Android), so you can tinker with Twitter’s app without altering your functionality.
It’s a smart move for Twitter, who is trying in earnest to win the hearts and minds of developers after shutting the API door on them a few years back. The suite of tools can be applied wholly, or picked through and added individually, giving you the option to involve yourself with Twitter as much or as little as you like.
