“What a day !!” was all I said yesterday when I was done testing the Appcelerator’s Titanium Platform for desktop and mobile. Also what made the whole engagement with platform exciting was, connecting with the people at Appcelerator, right from CEO (via Twitter) to Platform Lead (via IRC), these guys were easily accessible and made sure that a new developer like me gets the right introduced to the platform and all my doubts about the platform capabilities are cleared off. This speaks a lot about the leadership that prevails within the Appcelerator. Hats off to Jeff Haynie (CEO at Appcelerator), I am sure his journey from Atlanta to Mountain View has transformed the company to be more innovative. And even when you get started with Titanium, you will share the same opinion about Appecelrator.

For those of you who still don’t know what in the world Titanium is all about, then (no I am not gonna write about it here) visit their site here and if you are familiar with other RIA development tools like Adobe AIR/Flex, Curl and WPF, you will understand what Titanium can do with simple JavaScript. In short its a rich web, desktop and mobile development tool using JavaScript. What’s unique about it is that using same JavaScript code you can package the app for deploying it on Web, Desktop (Mac, Win, Linux) and Mobile (iPhone & Android). Isn’t that cool, and if you are a SI, I am sure it comes as blessing. No more writing code that is build differently for each platform. I am just wondering how would Enterprise computing would change with it (got to work on it) ?.
Also for ActionScript developers, it would be easy to adapt to Titanium platform as both ActionScript and JavaScript are based on the ECMAScript standards. In coming weeks I shall try to evaluate how Titanium can be fit for Enterprise solutions. Well for now, I think you should try out the platform yourself and think all about the possibilities of creating Rich Unified Applications. Go be a Titan !!
