Sessions at Open Source Bridge 2009 about HTML and JavaScript on Wednesday 17th June

Titanium is a truly open-source alternative to Adobe AIR, allowing developers to use their existing knowledge of rich web application technologies – JavaScript, Python, Ruby, HTML and CSS – to build desktop applications.

In this presentation, we will:

• introduce the Titanium platform and the technology/people behind it
• demonstrate the power and features of the Titanium API
• look at WebKit's power with CSS3 transformations, slick canvas support, and built-in vector graphics
• show the inherit reusability of code by combining JavaScript, Python, Ruby
• go through creation of a simple desktop application from start to finish

Attendees should have a decent understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Knowledge of Python and Ruby are optional. We will leverage a number of open source web libraries, mainly at high levels to demonstrate the best of breed technologies that are reusable in Titanium.
