“We are ready to get started with Hadoop and we know exactly what we need to do…” said no one ever. “We are interested in implementing a Hadoop based solution, but are struggling with how to get started…” is more typical.

For those that were able to attend last night’s Building Titanium with Alloy meetup, I’ve attached the slide deck so that you can review the examples and access the references in the talk. For those that were not able to attend the talk, I’m sorry that you missed out and please feel free to consume the keynote albeit without the color of being live and in person. I’ll also be looking to convert this deck into a set of post(s) as well in the next couple of weeks.

When building an application for both iOS and Android with Titanium you may run into a set of styling challenges. What do I do when my UI components are essentially the same in concept, but have slightly different styling properties?

If you are building a mobile application with an agile process then you know that dropping a release and getting feedback on it is critical to the success of the project. For those that have not done it before, this can be quite daunting.

When developing integrated mobile applications, the UI may expose components that are best suited to mediation. This is very true when for example invoking an asynchronous service. By nature all web service calls are asynchronous, so this makes the best sense.
