Appcelerator,
a mobile cloud platform for rapidly developing native mobile, HTML5,
desktop, web and tablet applications using web technologies, has
announced the availability of Appcelerator Titanium Studio for
building, testing, and deploying cross-platform applications.
Titanium Studio offers companies of any size the
ability to rapidly create rich cloud-connected applications using their
existing web teams and is based on technology acquired from Aptana.
Titanium Studio allows web developers to build,
test, and deploy iOS, Android, BlackBerry, PC, Mac, Linux, and HTML5
mobile web applications within a single development environment,
Appcelerator officials said. Built on Aptana Studio’s Eclipse-based
IDE, Titanium Studio features a source code editor, code completion,
Git integration and debugging capabilities to rapidly develop
applications across these platforms. Titanium Studio integrates with
iOS, Android, and BlackBerry SDKs for testing and new Fastdev
technology allows a developer to make real-time changes to their code
while the app is running in the simulator.
“Our goal is to enable rapid innovation for the
cloud-connected enterprise by providing an integrated solution for
mobile, desktop, and web development,” explained Jeff Haynie, CEO of
Appcelerator, in a statement. “Titanium Studio delivers on this promise
by enhancing developer productivity, improving application quality, and
easing integration with the cloud.”
Titanium Studio also makes publishing to the iOS,
Mac, Android, and BlackBerry app stores simple by easing the
certificate and provisioning pain often associated with these stores.
Deployment to Engine Yard and RedHat’s upcoming OpenShift platform is planned for this fall.
Meanwhile, developers of HotelTonight, the free
iPhone travel app, used Titanium to get to market quickly, and achieve
500,000 downloads in less than five months. “In a category like travel
it’s important to rapidly innovate, stay ahead of the competition, and
create a compelling user experience,” said Christopher Bailey, CTO of
HotelTonight, in a statement. “Titanium helps me do all that and more.”
Titanium Studio is available now as a free 30-day trial as part of Appcelerator’s Indie and Professional subscriptions.
