Cross Platform Mobile App Development with Appcelerator CS96SI Spring 2010 Stanford University

Jeff Haynie @jhaynie http://blog.jeffhaynie.us Serial Entrepreneur & Silicon Valley geek Co-Founder and CEO, Appcelerator

We enable web developers to quickly create and commercialize native mobile, desktop and tablet applications

Appcelerator Founded in 2006 Raised $6M in Venture Capital - Storm Ventures, Larry Augustin ~18 employees - Mountain View, CA 46K+ registered developers, millions of devices, thousands of applications

Mobile Landscape There are now 6 major players in the mobile ecosystem: HP/Palm Apple Google Microsoft Research in Motion (RIM) Nokia

Mobile not just for calls

Android Hundreds of Android based devices Various versions, screen sizes, ﬁrmware loads, base mods, capabilities

Are you multi-lingual? Objective-C (iPhone only) C/C++ (Numerous) Mojo (Palm) Java (Android, Midlet spec, RIM) .NET / Silverlight (Microsoft) HTML (mobile web)

(But HTML5 will solve all of this...) Maybe... Eventually... I hope Until then, think about: Massive patent wars Massive innovation Fast moving space Everything to lose

Let’s code it up var movie = Ti.Media.createVideoPlayer({ url: “ipad_blimp.mov’ }); movie.play(); IT’S JUST THAT EASY!

What’s happening? We compile and translate your app into the appropriate native platform code We use the native platform tooling to build and package a real native application Native runtime performance at web development speed

Titanium APIs Geolocation Networking SQL Database Maps Sound, Video Gestures Filesystem Facebook, YQL Camera Web services 2D/3D Animation Accelerometer, Gestures JUST TO NAME SOME OF THEM

What if you don’t have something? Module SDK supports extensions to the Platform Titanium itself built upon same SDK Author extensions (we call them modules) in the language of the platform Automatically compile and exposed in JS
