Titanium is proprietary software that was developed for the purpose of making it relatively easier and cheaper to simultaneously build apps so that they can be used across a wide range of mobile platforms. Currently it provides support for Android, Apple iOS and Blackberry. Appcelerator, the company that created Titanium has announced plans to introduce versions that will also provide support for Windows Phone/RT.
The software is written in JavaScript using special Titanium Software Development Kit or SDK. There are specific SDKs for each platform, and that's what you install when you first start to build an app. The project becomes so modified by the original SDK that it is 100% native in terms of functionality and User Interface.
If you have an idea for an app and you'd like for it to be usable on more than one mobile platform, Titanium can help you get this done quickly and easily.
Lest you think this means that using Titanium to build your app is super easy, bear in mind that things can go wrong. Building an app is an involved process, even with the help of Titanium. The work will cut into time you could spend on looking after other important matters on the personal and professional front. Hiring an expert may be a better alternative – in addition to saving you a whole lot of time in trial and error, it will also save you a whole lot of stress.
Creating an app is not as easy as it is often made out to be and using Titanium is no safeguard against mistakes. To get the job done right, you need to hire a professional who has had ample experience with using this software. Fortunately, you can find one easily enough, thanks to the many freelancer websites that have popped up over the years.
Consider the following when looking for an expert Titanium developer:
They must have knowledge JavaScript, since this what most of Titanium’s applications are written with.
They must be comfortable with modifying and creating apps without screen design tools or CSS.
Previous experience in mobile application development is a plus and more so if they know about working with multiple platforms.
Obviously they must have previous experience with Titanium.
