Third Party Review

Generally speaking, Titanium is an ideal choice if:

● your team is proficient with JavaScript

● your business model targets a multitude of mobile platforms.

“Like with any other IDE, Appcelerator Titanium has its strengths and weaknesses. But its ease of use, speed – and ability for the simultaneous creation of native and web apps – make it a great choice for a wide range of projects.” Victor Kotov

HTML5 applications with TitaniumPros:● uses standard UI elements (tables, buttons, etc.) along with

animation effects● access network resources via HTML (noting that there are

security limitations you should take into consideration and plan on possible ways around)

● store data locally (with the amount of data limited by the browser);

● provide support for asynchronous module definition (AMD) and CommonJS

● pre-cache resources for faster loading

HTML5 applications with TitaniumCons:• restricted access to certain components of a mobile OS (e.g.,

Android activities, iOS local notifications, or the Apple iAd service)

• limited access to device resources (such as the camera)

• dependence on a browser to run the web app

• limited functionality without Internet connection

• restricted use of native UI elements

• limited access to calendar and contacts (varies depending on the platform)

• no support for Titanium Extensions distributed through the Appcelerator Open Mobile Marketplace (the extensions are provided as executable code for each platform and therefore can't be launched in the browser)

HTML5 applications with TitaniumBig Cons:

• It is buggy

• Crashes

Exam QuestionWhat language is Titanium’s SDK built on?

JavaScript

When would Titanium benefit your project best?

If your project is being developed for multiple platforms and your team knows JavaScript.
