I'm going to admit it, I'm a n00bie! And the great thing is that I start developing software with the experience I have from using software and developing for the web. But how do you turn an inexperienced developer into a productive asset to your team? In this talk we'll look at the mistakes I made and how those could be prevented. After that we'll see the resources available and the steps that I've took to feel familiar and confident in developing with Titanium Mobile.
