This workshop will show you how to use the open source Titanium platform to:
- Create a native mobile app from start to finish in under an hour
- Create native table views and UIs
- Utilize native maps
- Use social APIs like Facebook
- Tap into Yahoo YQL

Could have been better prepared and easier for the audience to participate and follow despite common presentation issues like poor wifi or different platforms etc. Interesting tech.
Some people found it difficult to install the software and the “Getting started” guide did not help much. Some people where running Linux, others Mac. For Mac users, if you have Leopard, you need to install version 3.1.2 of the SKD, not 4. And you don’t need to download Java 1.6. Mac OS X ships with both versions, 1.5 and 1.6, you only need to update the symlink.
