In Detail
Smartphones and tablets have really changed the technological landscape over the last 3-4 years. Much like the web did in the last decade, these powerful tools have changed the way people communicate and access information. Such a wide market creates opportunities for developers who have the skills to develop mobile applications.
Creating Mobile Apps with Appcelerator Titanium is a practical, step-by-step guide to building iPhone, iPad, and Android applications using JavaScript. This book will give you a solid grounding of the dos and donts of mobile development and also covers a lot of the functionalities offered by the Titanium platform.
This book begins with a look at what the Titanium platform has to offer. By taking you through clear tutorials on developing each application step-by-step, it helps you to apply your newly acquired knowledge afterwards. The difficulty level gradually increases along the course of the book.
Each application from this book covers different aspects of mobile development. Every chapter starts by defining the applications features as well as the user interface structure. Every single code section is then explained and put into context allowing you to gain a clear understanding of their purpose and functionality. The book takes a small milestone approach, allowing you to actually run the application and see the progression. Every step is accompanied by many screenshots so you can see the expected result on screen.
You will learn everything you need to know to develop your very own mobile applications. The book takes a laid-back approach to Titanium development and provides information in a way designed to never overwhelm the reader with information and also uses clear diagrams, screenshots, and tips throughout.

Christian Brousseau is a proud Canadian who has been developing software for over twenty years. He made his debut in Windows development and then moved on to Java when the Web came along. About thirteen years ago, he had the opportunity to move to France where he worked on major Java Enterprise projects for one of the largest software companies in the world, in different sectors such as banking, insurance, retail, government, and defense.
Over the last few years, he became very enthusiastic about mobile platforms in general and has developed quite a few applications for iOS and Android devices using the Appcelerator Titanium platform. He is very active within the community; being a Titanium-certified application developer and a member of the Titans Evangelist group, he is one of the top 10 contributors on the Appcelerator's Questions & Answers forum.
Still living in Paris, he left the enterprise world and created his own company, Things Are Moving (http://www.thingsaremoving.com), that specializes in mobile development.
I would like to thank all my friends and colleagues who have given me their support, and all those who were there when I created my very first mobile application (that did not do much at the time I must admit). I'd also like to thank all of the very knowledgeable people who took the time to review my book and gave me more than just review notes. You guys went the extra mile, and I am very grateful for it.
But most of all, I'd like to thank my wife, who gave me her full support in this journey (even during bad times, that support never flinched). Also, to my children who had to see their father writing every weekend instead of spending quality time with them.
To everyone, thank you!
Stephen Feather is an Appcelerator Titanium Titan, holding TCMD and TCAD certifications, and a frequent speaker on mobile strategies for small businesses and nonprofit organizations. In 1994, he started his own consulting firm working directly with communication companies such as Netscape, Microsoft, and Oracle in the early days of the Internet. In 1996, he wrote Javascript by Example , one of the first publications on the then new scripting language. Over the next 17 years, his firm would grow to become a widely recognized vendor of multimedia software for language learning and providing support to colleges and universities throughout the Southeastern United States.
In 2009, he cofounded Feather Direct , recognizing a need for quality mobile application development, reputation management, and SEO services for smaller organizations. He volunteers his time to assist and train a new generation of mobile app developers through online forums and local user groups.
Jude Osborn is an experienced, well-travelled Software Developer, having led and developed projects across the web, mobile, and desktop spaces and in locations spanning the globe. Jude is passionate about new development technologies, and right now is especially giddy about JavaScript frameworks and mobile.
Jude currently works with Google's Creative Lab (on behalf of the web development agency, Potato) on prototypes and experimental software projects. Every morning he walks across Sydney's Pyrmont bridge soaking up the sunshine and looking forward to the next amazing technological challenge.
When he's not cutting code and trying crazy new techs, Jude loves creating Littlest Pet Shop YouTube videos with his daughter, barely managing to compete in Starcraft's gold league with his son, and enjoying a nice glass of wine with his beautiful, amazing, and supportive wife.
