Passionate guitarist and enthusiastic photographer. Javier used to write blog posts about Titanium in spanish on www.criteriastudio.com. Now he is living in Valencia (Spain), where he prepares some of the best mojitos in the city!

For any mobile developer, Titanium is a great advantage compared to native development. But there is still a high dependency on backend development, integration with servers, remote databases and so on. ACS (Appcelerator Cloud Services) reduces a lot all these extra developments that use to be far away from what is considered mobile development, and simplifying projects related to social networks, databases, geo-location… well, almost everything.

In this 45 minutes class Javier will show how to start coding ACS with Titanium in real projects, introducing some tips and good practices done from his experience to work with users, notifications, geo-location, database objects and so on and keep code clean and safe.

Attendees are encouraged to have a look to the ACS API http://cloud.appcelerator.com/docs/api/v1/acls/create

In this talk, we present an overview of the approaches to implement realtime apps over HTTP and introduce the benefit of WebSockets. Later we introduce Node.ACS and Socket.IO to demonstrate how we built a realtime survey system that works on iOS, Android and HTML5 browsers with Titanium.

There is a demo that could involve the audience if they will have internet connectivity. The android client could be download here: http://bit.ly/ticonf and the HTML5 client here: http://www.etnatraining.it/ticonf-demo

Follow along with Trevor as he presents a guide of how to develop applications using Titanium, without having to hack, break or use modules. Keeping within the confines of the framework and applying good coding and open source libraries to resolve almost all development issues.
