Build Native Mobile Applications with Titanium

Build Native Mobile Applications with Titanium enables you to create cross-platform native mobile apps from a single code-base using JavaScript. Titanium's JavaScript Software Development Kit (SDK) enables web developers to cross-over to native mobile development using familiar JavaScript – without the Objective-C or Java learning curve.

The book teaches you to use the Titanium Studio development environment in order to create scalable native mobile apps, hybrid and HTML5 apps that run on iOS, Android, Blackberry and Tizen platforms. You will start from creating a front end for your app and create the app framework including event-based transitions and animations. The book also goes into detail on how to connect your app with external data sources, enabling you to pull in REST data or web services such as Drupal. The book also shows you how to leverage the Appcelerator Cloud Services and the phone's native device APIs, so your app can make use of the phone camera, calendar, messaging service, and much more. Build Native Mobile Applications with Titanium takes you all the way from building the first screens of your app, to distributing your app on the native device store and getting it in front of millions of customers.
