Cross Platform Android and iOS Apps With Appcelerator Titanium

It can be difficult to build applications for iOS and Android, because the two platforms are so different. Even though there are many solutions today for cross platform development on these platforms, many of the solutions either require you to use a single non-native user interface or create your user interface code multiple times. Appcelerator Titanium is an exciting way to build truly native Android and iOS applications using JavaScript which are able to reuse a large amount of code, even for the user interface. In this course, I'll take you through the process of getting setup with Appcelerator Titanium and fill you in on all the details of how exactly Titanium works and why it is so different than many other cross platform solutions. Throughout this course, we'll actually build a real mobile application that will run on both Android and iOS using Appcelerator Titanium and along the way learn about the platform and how to use it. We'll start off learning how to programmatically create a cross platform user interface in JavaScript and how to interact with the user interface and respond to events like button clicks. Then, we'll learn a bit about the different platform APIs that Titanium provides and how to expand our app to take into account multiple screens. After that, we'll learn about Alloy, a way to build Titanium applications using XML markup and style sheets using an MVC or Model View Controller approach, which can greatly simplify our code and make it much easier to design an application. Finally, in the last module, we'll tackle a few advanced concepts and learn about the awesome Titanium Cloud API, which allows us to create a full backend for our application without having to install any databases or design any complex schemas. So, if you are interested in cross platform application development and you'd like to see how you can build truly cross platform native applications using JavaScript, you'll definitely want to check out this course.
