Everyone coming to the meetup, please use Mobile SDK 1.7.5 to build the example project - as changes in the current SDK will affect the dragging of images. Also there is a slight typo http://boydlee.com/appcelerator-titanium/appcelerator-tit...

I am starting from scratch with titanium, do I need to have a good level of experience with Titanium for this talk/workshop? I do however have a good knowledge of javascript.

Hi Quinton -
Thanks for your question. All that's required is that you come prepared by downloading and installing your environment (i.e. Titanium and at least one of the SDKs). Boydlee will divide the workshop into bite-size sections and we'll be working with his recipes (first half-baked - then miraculously pulling the complete product from the oven before moving onto the next section). During "lab time" there will also be plenty of time for questions & assistance as needed. Looking forward!

great! don't want to be over whelmed as although it is one technology that is on my 2012 list of todo's for development I have not started! - it was on my 2011 todo's but never happened - like most new years resolutions :) - Looking forward to the workshop!

Really looking forward to this!

Hi All - just a quick reminder for those attending this evening - please make sure you have Titanium installed and your environment setup properly. Extra credit if you bring a nice clean head shot on disk too!

Liz, if we don't have Titanium installed on a laptop I assume its still relevant to come along? (and watch!)

Absolutely! In fact, I will suggest we partner up. Would like to have newer members sitting among Titans. In my experience, everyone benefits from others' questions.

Is the link of the pdf sample chapter working? I tried yesterday and now to download it, but without success.
I click on the following link

Please use this link and then (in upper left) jump to: ... sample chapters > then at top of next screen click "...download sample chapt...

I'll bring some USBs as well with the code already there so you don't have to type everything. but it really wouldn't hurt to download and print the PDF - that way you can make notes and it might be easier to see than the projector screen.

Thanks - I have the book anyway. See you later.

might be worth reminding people to get 1.7.5 sdk as Ket mentioned before.

Thanks Joe - you just did ;-) though this was one of my questions for Boydlee. 1) how to incorporate pinch/zoom gestures new in 1.8x; 2) what needs to change in chapt 7 code in order to work with latest SDK?

Thanks Liz, I used Chrome and the link doesn't work...but I tried now with Firefox and it's alright! Thanks again!!

I have got it working on the 1.8.x branch of the mobile SDK - Boydlee knows about it, perhaps we can do some improvised jamming around the code if we have time once we've covered all the basics of the chapter.

Thanks to Boyd and the organisers for tonight.. Was great to meet everyone I had the chance to speak to.. I'll get a later train home next time.. See you in a few weeks.. ;)

Thanks for all the info and great chatting at the bar!
