I am positive on the approach that "Titanium" and other appcelerator products are taking for applicationd development.
I am currently doing a bit of research to see the capabilities. You can take a look at the larger set of my notes here: http://www.satyakomatineni.com/akc/display?url=DisplayNoteIMPURL&reportId=3263&ownerUserId=satya At a high level Titanium seems to be a wrapper around "webkit" which forms the core of many open source browsers including chrome, android, safari, firefox etc. Titanium supplements the 'webit' capabilities with some needed apis from the native os platform which includes such things as android, iphone, windows etc. It doesnt look like a big deal on the initial thought, but combine it with something like "jquery" which gives all of a sudden legs to webkit allowing you to: 1. Render html and forms in your native app 2. run javascript in your native app 3. use javascript and jquery (or an equivalent) tool to create rich UIs I haven't gotten to the "android" interface yet but I will report on it as soon as I get a good sample app running, I think this gives an "additional" tool kit for someone that is working on Android. This may or may completely replace your android development model but supplements it immensely. The power of titanium comes from familiar technologies: webkit, javascript, jquery, etc. This is what I gathered in the last few days playing with it. Hope this helps Satya On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 5:56 AM, Premier<[email protected]> wrote: > > does someone knows and uses appaccelerator (http:// > www.appcelerator.com/products/titanium-mobile/) for android?
