Skip Objective-C and Java to get your app to market faster,
using the skills you already have

Building Cross-Platform Apps using Titanium, Alloy, and
Appcelerator Cloud Services shows you how to build
cross-platform iOS and Android apps without learning Objective-C or
Java. With detailed guidance given toward using the Titanium Mobile
Platform and Appcelerator Cloud Services, you will quickly develop
the skills to build real, native apps-- not web
apps--using existing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript know-how. This
guide takes you step-by-step through the creation of a
photo-sharing app that leverages the power of Appcelerator's cloud
platform, and establishes fundamental concepts before adding
advanced techniques. Coverage extends beyond the development
process to include expert advice for deployment on the App Store or
Google Play, and more.

The mobile app market is estimated at over $2.4 billion per

faster with this guide.
