This Week in Titanium Mobile Development: 10 Jan 2012

This is all the Titanium Mobile development news I’ve gathered from the Twittersphere and Interwebs for the past week.

News

Socialize asked if people wanted a Titanium Module – and were overwhelmed with the response. Follow the link to get updates on the new Socialize titanium module!

It’s Titanium Week! Daily webcasts about every aspect of Titanium development.

Tips

Aaron Saunders was kind enough to put this example code together: using Cocoafish + Appcelerator iOS Module to login or create an account with Twitter and this Titanium Appcelerator Quickie: StackMob API Module Part Four gives you access to the StackMob API Module for Facebook Integration

Pratik posted a video on a tool he has created for Rapid development with Titanium Studio and TiREPL – this is awesome stuff!

Tony Lukasavage shared a YouTube video of a cross platform Path menu for Appcelerator Titanium. UI Goodness!

Ivan Škugor has posted a long article about the entire framework in his Zenborgium blog. A great intro for beginners.

Philippe Elsass created this amusing post on his blog, detailing his revisit to “the good, the bad and the ugly” with regards to Titanium. A good read about someone returning to Titanium after being away from it for a while.

David Bankier shared a cool video on iPad to OS X drawing using Titanium Mobile and Titanium Desktop over WiFi. Cool stuff

Tim Poulson (Skypanter) shared a cross platform tabbedbar on github.com. Nice to see as had to implement my own a couple weeks ago – this would have saved me some time.

Appcodingeasy.com has started blogging a whole bunch of Titanium stuff:

I’ve never heard of taffy.db, but here is a wrapper for TaffyDB to use in Titanium.

Josh Miller shared a code snippet on how to insert an array into a SQLite DB. Good to see new people blogging about Titanium!

Codecookie.net shared their experiences with Titanium Drag Problems and ultimate resolution. It’s useful to see how others have worked their way around some of their problems they encountered.

Building Titanium from source? Bill Dawson tells you how to speed things up.

Matt Apperson (who just left Appcelerator) shared a make file for building your titanium mobile applications from the command line.

Apps

Dan Giulvezan released MediaDrop – a way to send photos, videos and audio notes directly to dropbox.

Boydlee Pollentine did a little Jam & Preserves Cookbook that mirrored a WP7 project he did.

This Week in Titanium Mobile Development: 03 Jan 2012

This is all the Titanium Mobile development news I’ve gathered from the Twittersphere and Interwebs for the past week – Happy 2012!

News

With the update to 1.8 last week, Appcelerator has updated their documentation around common.js. A must read as this is the way things are going in the Ti world.

Handshake 2.0 posted a fun article called JavaScript Is a Plain-Belly Sneetch about their use of JavaScript in mobile apps using Titanium. A quick, fun read.

Tips

Appcelerator reblogged a posting from IRL Gaming on JSONDB – NoSQL DB for your mobile apps. Worth a read is you missed it the first time around.

Aaron Saunders has been buzy again sharing his thoughts and code on Cocoafish integration in a series of postings:
Titanium Appcelerator Quickie: Cocoafish Native iOS Module
Titanium Appcelerator Quickie: Cocoafish API Module
- a slide deck explaining why he thinks platforms like CocoaFish are important in mobile development (I agree!)
- Titanium Appcelerator Quickie: Cocoafish Native Module + Facebook Integration

The Warper Coder shared his experience on Appcelerator Titanium commonJS & Global Variables with the move to 1.8.

Sharry over at Learning Titanium posted three new articles:
- an interview with Tim Poulsen from Appcelerator on Training & Certification
- an interview with 5 developers (including yours truly) on native module development
- A cross posting with Ben Bahrenburg from bencoding.com on Adding BackgroundModes to your Titanium Project

Ben Bahrenburg also posted a quick tutorial on getting the KitchenSink running on the Kindle Fire.

Cam Collins posted his day 1 experience with iOS and Titanium. Good to see the day one experience with Appcelerator is so seamless now!

Rafael Kellermann Streit shared a mini-browser for Titanium Appcelerator. One line to add a browser in your app. Nice.

A gist of the animation like used in the LinkedIn app (iOS only)
Also, a ‘SmartLabel’ that will detect phone numbers, etc and link them for you – code and demo.

toru0325 shared a Window 7 Metro interface for Titanium. (iOS only) More than a little awesome.
