Book Description

Publication Date: 16 Dec 2011
Appcelerator Titanium Mobile allows developers to realize their potential to develop full native iPhone and Android applications by using free Titanium Studio tools without the need to know Objective-C or Java. This practical hands-on cookbook shows you exactly how to leverage the Titanium API to its full advantage and become confident in developing mobile applications in no time at all.

Appcelerator Titanium Smartphone App Development Cookbook offers a set of practical and clear recipes with a step-by-step approach for building native applications for both the iPhone and Android platforms using your existing knowledge of JavaScript.

This cookbook takes a pragmatic approach to using your JavaScript knowledge to create applications for the iPhone and Android platforms, from putting together basic UIs to handling events and implementation of third party services such Twitter, Facebook and Push notifications. This book shows you how to utilize both remote and local datasources using XML, JSON and the SQLite database system. The topics covered will guide you to use popular Titanium Studio tools effectively and help you leverage all the advanced mobile features such as Geolocation, Accelerometer, animation and more. Finally, you’ll learn how to register developer accounts and how to publish your very own apps to the Android and Apple marketplaces.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant guide for learning Appcelerator Titanium 21 Dec 2011
By Sharry Stowell
Format:Paperback
I've been developing in Appcelerator Titanium for about 9 months now, the documentation on the Appcelerator site used to be out of date & generally not very helpful. But, over the last few months things have improved like the Q&A section - although this is only a community driven forum! This is where this book comes into its own, being the 1st published English book on Titanium. I quickly snapped up an eBook version on the publishers site & started working through the 80 recipes within. I've learnt so much from this book within the last 48 hours than in about 2 months of trying to figure out things from the official documentation, using the KitchenSink app & searching through questions in the Q&A forum.

It starts from the basic window, tabgroups, view, labels, tables & text-fields. Then moves through remote and local data transfers (including databases), working with audio, video and camera hardware. Then the more intermediate topics like social media (including emails, Facebook, Twitter), dealing with events/properties and animation etc. Finally, it also covers the more expert topics like internal & external APIs, creating your own Appcelerator modules, platform differences (iPhone/Android) and even APP distribution/publishing! These are only a few out of the many many areas covered.

The CommonJS require method, MVC architecture, design patterns and BlackBerry development are not covered by this book as I suppose they are relatively new additions or concepts to the ever changing world of Titanium development.

In conclusion this book covers a massive range of what's possible with Titanium. My favourite chapters include 'Platform Differences' (as this saves volumes of time testing over different devices/emulators) and 'Integrating with External Services'. This book is a must the beginner and intermediate Titanium developers.

This book is well structured and covers all the elements to app development with Titanium appcelerator that I needed.

With the book updates now available I have revised my review, well worth the money.
