Titanium Alloy Tutorial

A one-day Titanium Alloy Tutorial by Fokke Zandbergen.

This tutorial is no official Appcelerator training material!

How to use

  1. Make sure you have enough tutors (1:5) for the class size.
  2. Download the @slides for the tutorial.
  3. Personalize the slide where you introduce the tutors.
  4. Go through all slides and assignments yourself, preferably using Studio.
  5. Ask all students to try to install Titanium (Studio) before class to save time.
  6. Prepare a USB stick for the people who didn't come prepared with:
    • Studio: Mac, Windows
    • Oracle JDK
    • Android SDK > DOWNLOAD FOR OTHER PLATFORMS > SDK Tools Only
    • Xcode > Search for: XCode
    • A copy of your own Android SDK folder containing some API's.
  7. Find a nice gift for the winner of the bonus assignment ;)
  8. Make sure you have a beamer, as well as connected speakers for the movie.
  9. Enlarge the font of your console and Studio so they are readable on a big screen.
  10. Go through the slides:
    • Don't stick to the (minimal) notes. Share from your experience.
    • Keep it simple, give information on a need-to-know basis.
  11. When you come across an assignment:
    • Walk around and point people in give (minimal) hints.
    • Open the branch on the big screen so you can show hints.
    • When time's up, open and run the next branch to show the result.
  12. Take your time. If you run out of it, just skip an assignment.
