Titanium is an open source framework for building cross-platform native mobile apps using JavaScript and optionally HTML/CSS. It allows developers to write once and deploy to multiple platforms like iOS, Android, and BlackBerry without maintaining separate codebases. Titanium apps are compiled to true native apps for each platform, providing access to full native capabilities and high performance. The demo will show how to create a simple "Hello World" Titanium app and deploy it to the iOS simulator.

- 4. 4Well, you could build native, but...Which platforms do you choose?How many codebases do you want to (or even can you) support?How long will it take to build native on N platforms?How much effort will be duplicated?
- 5. 5The Web Is An Option......and should be preferred when feasibleMobile browsers are progressing fast and converging around WebKitBut there are limitationsNative apps are inherently more capable than web appsNative apps run faster and smoother on resource constrained devices

- 13. 13What Titanium Mobile is not:Not a native wrapper around a web view (PhoneGap being an example of this approach)However, you do have a web view component for HTML/CSS UI if that is your preferenceYour JavaScript code is invoking native APIs for UI and other native functions.
