Titanium is an open-source development tool for producing cross-platform mobile applications by Appcelerator. Using Titanium, you develop your mobile application using Javascript coded against the Titanium API's. Titanium Studio, an IDE for your mobile apps, invokes their compiler and builder to take your Javascript and build a native application for iOS and Android.
