Appcelerator Titanium Smartphone App Development Cookbook Second Edition

Abstract

Before Titanium, building native mobile applications for multiple platforms meant learning Objective-C/Swift, Java, and C#. As a result, many application developers would specialize in supporting limited platforms, simply because they didn't have the time or skill set to rewrite application code in multiple languages. Similarly, anyone looking to build an application on multiple platforms would have to employ a multi-skilled developer, or hire multiple developers or agencies to complete the task. This could be expensive, requiring application code to be written multiple times in different languages and environments, and could easily lead to releasing an application on only one platform initially, typically iOS.
