There is a frustration on the part of many HTML designers and instructional designers. While they would love to be able to place content directly on an iPhone or iPad as a native app, they soon realize that a solid knowledge of Xcode is required. If you want a native experience without having to learn iOS, Android, and BlackBerry (soon Windows 8) native development, then Titanium is the perfect solution.

In this session you will learn how Appcelerator Titanium Alloy has enabled web developers to build native applications using XML, JavaScript, and CSS. You will discover how this enables you to use the same elements Xcode uses without having to learn Objective C. You will explore how web developers can develop installable learning applications with one code base for all platforms, and you will leave this session understanding how web/eLearning developers can use the languages they already know to build native mobile applications as though they were built using normal app-building applications.

In this session, you will learn:

Appcelerator Titanium basics
JavaScript basics
How to use different mobile elements, such as tables, buttons, image viewers, and more
How to publish and deploy your apps to the app stores

Audience:
Novice to advanced designers, developers, and project managers.

Technology discussed in this session:
Appcelerator Titanium, iOS SDK or Android SDK.

Participant technology requirements:
Appcelerator Titanium, iOS SDK or Android SDK.
