Feb. DFWWP: Jeff Haynie: Create Mobile Apps with Titanium
The Art Institute of Dallas (map)
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see that the smartphone revolution will dominate our attention in the coming years. (The App store has had over 1 billion downloads in 9 months, and Google recently bought mobile ad company AdMob for $750 million). How does "mobile" impact bloggers, web developers, entrepreneurs, and WordPress rockstars?
We are delighted to have serial entrepreneur, Jeff Haynie, flying out from California to address this topic. Jeff is currently the co-founder and CEO of Appcelerator. Appcelerator provides an open source platform for building and managing rich Web, Desktop and Mobile applications (including iPad).
Learn how Appcelerator's Titanium brings the power and efficiency of Web technologies and Cloud computing to Mobile and Desktop application development.
HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Python, PHP and Ruby are the tools of choice for rapid development of professional-grade Web applications. Now they can be your tools of choice for developing mobile and desktop applications using products and services from Appcelerator.
Jeff Haynie is Co-founder and CEO of Appcelerator. Jeff is a long-time serial entrepreneur, technologist and blogger. Previously, Jeff was Co-founder and CTO of Vocalocity, a software provider in the communications arena and before that, CTO of eHatchery, a digital incubator and off-shoot of Bill Gross’ idealab!. Jeff has worked on numerous standard committees such as IETF and W3C as well as core contributor to a number of important open source technologies such as JBoss and OpenVXI. Jeff served with distinction in the U.S. Navy. Jeff blogs at http://blog.jeffhayni... and can be found on twitter @jhaynie.

Thanks, John, for the downloading suggestion. I just downloaded my copy of Appcelerator too. I look forward to playing with it for a little bit before Jeff speaks. I always learn so much more when I've gotten my hands dirty before the speaker's presentation.

A good read for before this meetup might be this article on iPhone App usability by Jakob Neilson, the Usability guru: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/mobile-apps-initial-use.htm...
I thought it had some great interface tips for those wanting to design any mobile app.Posted February 10, 2010 at 11:18 PM -

Just realized we have a conflict this time, as we're moving to a new loft in our building that day. It sucks, because I think I'd really have enjoyed the topic.

Titanium lets web developers build real iPhone and Android apps (not simply RSS readers) with no licensing fees or distribution limitations.
If you've taught yourself HTML and CSS, and can learn some Javascript, then you can learn to build apps for iPhone and iPad.

Cam SwegmanJeff Haynie gave an excellent presentation. I was very impressed with all that Titanium can do and have been thinking about ways I might put it to use, even with my limited skills. The quality of the presentations this year has been outstanding. Thanks to Tony and Randy Hoyt for sponsoring.

Maggie ReddyHi Tony, Thanks for welcoming me to my first MeetUp with DFW WordPress. I was very impressed with the presentation by Jeff Haynie. Although I'm far from an expert in the field, the information shared was extremely timely. Anyone who wants to participate in this newly emerging technology must stay abreast. This was a great introduction for me into this fascinating field. I look forward to learning more. Best regards, Maggie

Charles McKeeverJeff Haynie did a great job of packing a ton of information into his presentation. It was good to see so many great opportunities in the mobile market demonstrated in real time. His Ralph Lauren demo really showed how mobile will be putting brands in the hands of consumers.

This is exciting. I downloaded the Appcelerator software and look forward to using it. The .mobi movement has been sweeping Australia and Europe for two years and I am convinced American businesses will soon acknowledge this industry and the important role it plays in the future. Tony, you are always tops and I feel grateful to be able to attend your meetings!
