Adobe Sr. Technical Evangelist Duane Nickull will lead a FREE full-day hands-on development class to teach all attendees how to build mobile applications that run on iOS, BlackBerry Playbook Tablet OS and all Android 2.2 or later devices.  This course is meant to be taken hands-on, code-camp style with your own computer.  

What you will learn:

- how to set up your mobile development environment on your own computer (a preparation guide will be sent out in advance)

- how mobile applications are architected and run in cross-platform scenarios

And then nothing but coding!!

Learn how to create mobile applications to target iOS, Android, and BlackBerry PlayBook operating systems via hands-on development. Topics will include architecture of portable code (code that runs on more than one platform); setting up your mobile application project; using and sharing data between views; accessing and using smartphone and tablet features such as cameras, microphones, and accelerometers; native application integration; file system browsing and storage; graphics and layout; deploying to your devices; and more.

You will also learn how to install and use the Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform (ADEP), a services (OSGi) platform written in Java, and how to connect to it to build enterprise class applications.

When you leave this session, you will be immersed in knowledge and have the ability to create your own mobile applications for your company or new startup.
