Using Appcelerator Titanium To Build Native Android Apps Without The Native Pain

Submitted Oct 3, 2012

Section: Platforms, Tools & Libraries Technical level: Intermediate Session type: Workshop

If you are planning to get started on Android app development and/or want to leverage your HTML & JavaScript skills to build native Android apps, make sure to attend my session to fast track your learning on the Appcelerator Titanium platform to build Android apps which run just as well as native apps. It’s quick , easy and fun :)

Outline

I presented this session at Droidcon 2011 and it was voted among the most popular sessions (at least on the humor quotient :).= I plan to do an encore this year to educate developers about the Titanium platform and leverage your hard won web skills into native Android applications that perform and look just like they were written in Java.

<br>P.S - I’m not paid by Appcelerator for this so it’s a fairly unbiased session based on my experience of using Titanium over last 3 years :)

Requirements

Basic Web Development Skills - If you can write Hello World in HTML, you’re in!<br>
Eclipse - If the word Eclipse means beyond solar and lunar, you’re in!
