Easy Mobile Development: Appcelerator Titanium Introduction

Titanium is an open-source development tool for producing cross-platform mobile applications by Appcelerator. Using Titanium, you develop your mobile application using Javascript coded against the Titanium API's. Titanium Developer, a management GUI for your mobile apps, invokes their compiler and builder to take your Javascript and build a native application for iOS and Android.

This session will walk you through the details of building great apps for the Android and iOS platforms. We'll talk about Titanium development, its ecosystem, and architecture. We'll spend time looking at lots of code - we'll build an app, in fact, while we discuss and explore the framework. We'll also spend some time discussing best practices, what to expect when developing against it, and the limits of this type of development.
