Building native apps for iPhone can be fun. Building them again for
Android, less fun. Building them again for Blackberry ! Titanium
Appcelerator is one solution that allows you to use Javascript to
generate native apps. These are not apps running in a Web Kit window.
These are native compiled apps that run across multiple mobile
platforms.
Even building for multiple platforms at once is not fast enough for me.
In this talk I will demonstrate the ease of writing Titanium code and be
up and running with simple examples. And then I will show you how hard
it can be to write a simple form, when you have to layout each field,
one at a time with absolute positioning. Enter Titanium Compounded a
library started to help bridge the gap.
I will explain the advantages and pitfalls of developing a library for
Titanium.
Titanium and Titanium Compound are both open source.
