- 13. Things we love about the SDK • Huge Productivity Gains • Cross Platform Ability for iOS and Android • Content scaling and dynamic resolution • Simple, effective Dev environment and workflow • Helpful and active community • API keeps expanding • Physics and other Framework support • Lots of sample code and third party tools • Migration path from Flash to Corona UUNNIICCOOMM PPrreesseennttss IInnddiiaa MMoobbiilliittyy WWeeeekk--22001144 CCoorroonnaa SSddkk OOvveerrvviieeww
- 14. Productivity • Displaying an image – Objective C (iOS) – Java (Android) – Corona sdk (both platforms) • Display.newImage(“myImage.png”) • Display.newImageRect(“myImage.png”,1024,768) UUNNIICCOOMM PPrreesseennttss IInnddiiaa MMoobbiilliittyy WWeeeekk--22001144 CCoorroonnaa SSddkk OOvveerrvviieeww
- 15. What about Lua? • Lua is small As small as <100 KB (DLL/LIB) Easy runs on small devices or in small apps. • Lua is simple to use To use-well suited for small software To learn- ~20 keywords, ~20 operators Powerful arrays • Lua is fast • Apart from this, dynamic typing first class functions, easy interop, written in C, ample libraries.

Editor's Notes
- It’s a wonderful time to be a mobile developer – we got some amazing traction and momentum building with mobile, Mobile developers - 8.7m worldwide - 50% doing mobile development Asia pacific leads mobile dev growth - with 46% more developers on mobile smartphones - still 30% of all world&apos;s phones. Tablets - fastest growing than PCs ever did . mobile usage continues to rise rapidly - 25% of total web usage. Cloud , Social, Internet of things – To dangerous - 83 apps – iOS , 53 apps Android New initiaitves
- Living in this exciting and dangerous times – I am Altaf Rehmani. I founded redbytes software – 40 people in Pune Before I came to this exciting world – I worked in the boring – but high paying world of financial services.
- One of the challenges with mobile app development – is there are multiplatforms
- - Better code reuse cross-platform tools are proven to increase the number of platforms simultaneously catered to by developers. Managing development resources (see report for details)
- Name : here to share some knowhow and experience of developing apps with the corona sdk.
- Walter and Carlos from ex-adobe (flash engineering team) Pros and cons with going with this approach.
- Bubble Ball 14 yr old – Robert Nay (&gt; 7m Downloads) Float – Crawl Space games ~ 1 million downloads; one day to prototype; 2 months to develop Blast Monkeys – &gt; 12M downloads: created in 14 days Joe Kauffman – Fire Maple Games: 2 games over 3.5m downloads, and1m in revenue
- Brings back memories when I saw visual basic – I can clearly draw an analogy.
- Recent hackathon in LA – yielded a number of games in 12 hours non-stop contest.
- Show quick demo of business app -
- Need sdks to compile android on windows Use a mac – compile for both iOS and Android.
- sync with drop box folder - requires a dropbox account. special folder gets created and it is here u need to keep all the files.
- A number of online multiplayer platforms also support Corona sdk – shephertz, photon, pubnub , parse,
- Show more sample code and running samples
