Attention All Web Enthusiasts!
Robert Stephens, the founder of Geek Squad,
told us in an interview recently that businesses would be better served by starting on mobile device before moving to the web. We've created this conference for that reason. Come learn how to use your basic computer skills (javascript and html) to develop mobile apps. If you're serious about reaching your audience in the 21st century, you won't want to miss this conference.

Use your web skills:
Use your Javascript and HTML skills to develop mobile apps

Develop for multiple platforms at once:
Use a solution that allows you to create multiple platforms on one codebase.

Reduce your development time:
Using web technologies is an order of magnitude faster than Objective-C or other mobile languages.

Regain control:
Keep your clients talking to you about their mobile campaigns, not a job shop.

When: Saturday and Sunday, April 24 - 25, 2010

Where: Kennesaw State University

Cost: $399 for two day workshop, including:
Continental breakfasts, networking lunches and materials.

Special Promotion: Be one of the first 50 to sign up and get special pricing of $349.

More Details
This two-day program will provide developers with the knowledge necessary to master key Titanium APIs and the end-to-end process of developing a Titanium Mobile, iPad or Desktop application. Workshop attendees will:

  • Learn the basics of using Titanium Developer and will configure each of their individual workstations with Titanium Developer and the necessary software to run Titanium applications (either mobile, iPad or desktop).
  • Create their first new applications and explore several example applications on their workstation.
  • Explore tools, tips and tricks for developing Titanium applications.
  • Begin the process of packaging a simple application for distribution on either the Appcelerator Cloud or a mobile app store.
  • Dive deeper into the APIs supported by Titanium. Each of the major namespaces and functional areas of the Titanium SDK will be explored, with accompanying examples.
  • Gain a functional understanding of the breadth of APIs available in the Titanium SDK and explore specific use cases of the Titanium SDK as it pertains to their anticipated usage of the product.
  • Finally, developers will undertake a sample application to develop using Titanium by developing a simple Twitter client for mobile, iPad or desktop - the instructor will provide basic resources about web service API signatures and be prepared to give hints to make sure they finish a functional app within the time allotted.

At the end of the exercise, the developers and the instructor will vote on the best implementation, and the winner receives a fabulous prize. The intent of this exercise is that every developer leaves the training with practical experience in building a real Titanium application, with a competitive element to help make it interesting.
