The document announces a NativeScript hackathon event with pizza, drinks, and prizes every 20 minutes including a grand prize of a Sony PS4. Attendees can earn raffle tickets by completing tutorial steps, finding bugs, or asking questions. The event will introduce NativeScript, a framework for building mobile apps using JavaScript that allows direct access to native APIs and UI elements on Android and iOS. Attendees are encouraged to start the NativeScript installation and follow along with tutorials during the event.

- 13. While I talk, start your installs • Mac and PC installation guides here:
- 14. What is NativeScript? • A runtime for building and running native iOS, Android, and (soon) Windows Phone apps with a single, JavaScript code base
- 16. • No DOM • No cross compilation != != • Direct access to native APIs in JS !=
- 17. Why NativeScript? • Skills reuse • Standards-based JavaScript (optionally TypeScript), CSS, XML • Code reuse • npm modules, 3rd-party iOS and Android libraries • Easily use native APIs • No wrappers to access native APIs • Use native UI elements • Open source!
- 19. • Bridge
- 22. How does this work?
- 23. NativeScript and JS VMs • NativeScript runs JavaScript on a JavaScript VM • JavaScriptCore on iOS • V8 on Android
- 24. • Runs on V8 • Runs on JavaScriptCore
- 27. NativeScript modules • NativeScript-provided modules that provide cross- platform functionality. • There are dozens of them and they’re easy to write yourself. • NativeScript modules follow Node module’s conventions (CommonJS).
- 31. But how do I turn this into an app?
- 32. Two ways to use NativeScript 1) 2)
- 33. NativeScript CLI • Free and open source • https://github.com/nativescript/nativescript-cli
- 34. NativeScript CLI requirements • https://github.com/nativescript/nativescript- cli#system-requirements • Xcode, Xcode CLI tools, iOS SDK • JDK, Apache Ant, Android SDK
- 35. Let’s get started! Go to the Getting Started Guide and start building! http://docs.nativescript.org/getting-started RAISE YOUR HAND when you complete a chapter, have a problem, etc
Editor's Notes
- #21: I'll give your brain a minute or two to parse this, because yes, this JavaScript code instantiates a Java android.text.format.Time() object, calls its set() method, then logs the return value of its format() method, which is the string "01/01/15".
- #22: This JavaScript code instantiates an Objective-C UIAlertView class, sets its message property, and then calls its addButtonWithTitle() and show() methods. When you run a NativeScript iOS app with this code you'll see the alert below:
- #29: So by requiring or including the file-system module, you have access to native Android methods of handling the file system as well as native iOS methods of storing files.
- #30: Another module – http. A great way to leverage REST apis to handle your data tier
