8. Appcelerator makes mobility possible
Appcelerator’s Titanium Mobile Application
Platform and integrated Cloud Services
(Cocoafish) enable customers to build,
connect, deploy, manage and scale mobile
applications for all devices and operating
systems from a single platform
9. The Only Mobile Client + Cloud Platform
• Automatically create development & production ACS
environments when setting up new Titanium projects
• Add ACS features with a single line of code
• Deploy to production and app automatically scales
10. Benefits
Web developers become mobile developers overnight
Single platform for building rich, connected apps
Get to market 70% faster
Unlimited extensibility for best-of-breed capabilities
11. Cloud: Pervasive Market Problem
Backend app development and deployment
process is terribly inefficient, costing mobile
developers time and money.
5. Maintain & scale 1. Hire backend developer
network features code, test, deploy,
over time maintain
$150/hour
Launch 1 App
$3k - $200k 2. Code network features
4. Deploy network features 2 - 8 months
to the cloud/backend
servers – test and
production
3. Test network features
(re-code/re-test if necessary)
12. Cocoafish Drilldown: Broad API Suite
• One line of code to add features to your apps
• We take care of hardware, software and scaling
• Build an app in minutes instead of months

14. Case Study: Linea
Your Pictures. Your Stories. Yours to Share.
http://www.getlinea.com
Objective
To create a mobile photo sharing application that can scale to support millions
of photos and users—with minimal staff and up-front capital expenditure
Features
• Leveraged predefined RESTful cloud service APIs for:
• User management
• Photo manipulation and storage
• Social commenting
• Push notifications
• Identical server calls across all multiple mobile platforms
Benefits
• Design team was able to focus energy on mobile app features
• Cocoafish APIs enabled rapid, pain-free backend development
• Infrastructure scaled as fast as the business grew – 50,000 photos added in first two months
16. Perspective from Aaron Saunders
• Evaluated StackMob & Parse and chose Cocoafish
• Significantly reduced complexity & increased time-to-
market velocity
• Build better apps:
• Cocoafish’s rich suite of features
• Able to focus on value creation, not infrastructure
• Opens up new opportunities - can bid on work
previously unprofitable because of the costs /
complexity of building out the backend
17. Key Dates
• Titanium Studio integration &
Cloud Services GA in late Q1.
• Stay tuned for additional webinars as we near GA.
