App-Building Tools - Appcelerator Titanium

Appcelerator Titanium ( www.appcelerator.com )

Appcelerator promises that you can “create rich native iOS, Android, hybrid, and mobile web apps from a single JavaScript-based SDK.” For programmers familiar with JavaScript and HTML, Appcelerator Titanium ia an excellent choice. But according to a post on the Appcelerator site, one of the downsides to a tool like Appcelerator Titanium “is that you lose control to a certain extent. You can’t do everything that you could do with native development and you don’t have as much control over what’s happening in your app as you’d normally have.” Some types of apps will be better candidates than others for these types of tools.

There might be some final adjustments needed at a low-level in the code to get the app to work on every platform.
