Technology Week: Appcelerator's Titanium

This week, the posts will focus on innovative technology tools.

Today I am highlighting Appcelerator's Titanium mobile development platform. Titanium is an open source platform that allows you to develop cross-platform applications. Use your Javascript, HTML and CSS skills to create both mobile and desktop apps. This is an excellent tool to consider for those who were hoping to jump into Android or iPhone mobile app development but have no experience programming in Objective-C.

Breadcrumb tutorial and training sessions

As I have blogged about a couple of Breadcrumb projects that I have worked on, I decided to create a tutorial to help others make use of the tool to make their own learning applications. You can view a tutorial presentation on my Slideshare account (or a WebEx recording I've posted onto YouTube). The tutorial will provide you with an introductory overview of Breadcrumb and tips for working on your first idea. You'll also learn about advanced coding techniques to add hosted images, videos and quizzes to your mobile learning app.

If you are a CFL member interested in additional Breadcrumb training, I have scheduled sessions for February 2011. Click on this link for more information. These classes are free but space is very limited.
