Technology training provider InfiniteSkills Inc has released a new Corona SDK Tutorial Video Course aimed at teaching iPhone, iPad and Android device development using the popular system’s interactive software tools and simplified Lua scripting language.

Narrated by Professor Rafael Hernandez, the 7.75-hour tutorial video course can be ordered on a Mac and Windows-compatible DVD-ROM or downloaded from the InfiniteSkills website. The package includes 96 training videos that cover a wide range of topics and features accessible project files that enable viewers to follow along.

Learning Corona SDK Tutorial – Training Video Course

The Corona SDK training starts with the installation and setup of the Corona development environment and walks viewers through the creation of their first project. The training then moves through the structure of the Lua scripting language and goes through each major stage of app creation, with hands-on examples at every point.

Used by more than 100,000 mobile developers, Corono SDK has become a leading solution for producing apps and eBooks for mobile digital devices. Graphic design and advertising agencies have used the platform to leverage existing content into mobile formats and extend branding opportunities for clients around the world.

“With this series of Corona tutorials, we want anyone to be able to compete in the mobile marketplace,” said Colin Boyd, sales director for InfiniteSkills. “Our goal is to offer comprehensive creative training at an affordable price so that no one is limited by budget alone.”

After introducing the basic concepts of the Lua scripting language, the Corona SDK training shows how to add images, shapes and text and then gradually introduces levels of interactivity. The Corona tutorials cover animation, object physics and multimedia support such as the ability to play native video and use the device’s built-in camera and location tools.

Next, the course shows how to properly capture and act upon user input such as text fields and forms, and how to use extensible interface widgets to build more intuitive user interfaces in a minimal amount of time. The final chapters of the Corona SDK tutorial cover data management such as the ability to write to backend databases, how to use Network APIs and how to debug and then build fully functioning apps.

“While many app development tutorials out there ignore creativity, it’s right at the center of the Corona course,” said Chris Johns, content coordinator for InfiniteSkills. “Rafael is able to cover all of the necessary technology while helping viewers actively bring their own vision to life.”

As a professor of music and director of the multimedia graduate program at CSU East Bay, Rafael Hernandez has developed educational resources, games and interactive mobile apps using Corona SDK and other tools. In addition to the Complete Corona SDK Training Video course for InfiniteSkills, his tutorials have been featured on the official Corona Labs website and throughout the mobile development community.

The full Corona SDK Tutorial Video Course can be ordered for $ 99.95 USD from the InfiniteSkills website on DVD-ROM or as a direct download. Shipping and ordering options are available for customers worldwide.

Reston, VA (PRWEB) June 05, 2012

App47, a Northern Virginia-based provider of advanced enterprise mobile application management services, recently announced its partnership with CloudLink, an Austin, Texas, company that connects Android tablets to strategic applications and cloud services. The two companies have collaborated to equip tablets with innovative content and capabilities at the manufacturing level by preloading the devices with a customized toolbox featuring best-of-breed applications and cloud solutions.

Were looking forward to launching the solution platform within the next few weeks, said CloudLink founder Brandon Frye. CloudLink empowers our tablet partners with the ability to differentiate in a competitive marketplace, at the same time solving their internal storage limitations and security concerns.

Frye noted that CloudLinks Android tablet Toolbox, powered by App47, currently includes cloud storage, security, remote desktop, print sharing, credit card processing services, password management, and a host of other business-critical apps. In addition to App47, partners include SugarSync, PrintShare, Avast, F-Secure, Mobile Dynamix, PayAnywhere, EasySign Mobile, and Catch.

We plan continual enrichment to our broad selection of best-of-breed applications, allowing customers to truly leave their laptops behind, added Frye. All of these will be easily available and manageable thanks to App47.

Reinforcing the effectiveness of the Toolbox solution with respect to enterprise mobile app management, App47 CEO Chris Schroeder explained that whether youre like CloudLink, who will be providing millions of users with a pre-populated marketplace, or you’re a smaller organization with hundreds of employees, the app store approach is ideal for any enterprise that needs true mobile app lifecycle management.

This isnt just about easy app installation, said Schroeder. This is about mobile app management from deployment through upgrade, evaluating security, and providing ultra-deep performance analytics. The app store certainly facilitates app acquisition, but our Mobile Application Management (MAM) solution is what really brings our value to the partnership.

Schroeder went on to detail how CloudLink partners will now have previously unavailable insight when evaluating app performance, seeing much more detail than merely whether or not an app was downloaded and deployed. Analytics will be as specific as time and length of use, implementation of specific in-app features, even device and network operational conditions conducive to performance troubleshooting and issue resolution.
