Appcelerator Platform

One platform for Mobile, Desktop, and Web application development

The Always On App Opportunity

Whether it’s on the web, on the desktop, or on-the-go, customers today are simply always on. Exhibit A: the exploding Smartphone market, already bigger than the laptop market, and growing 20% each year for at least the next 5 years*. Exhibit B: the desktop, now seeing huge growth in hybrid online/offline scenarios such as twitter or collaborative productivity applications.

For web-focused development teams, the dilemma is clear: how to take the plunge on the skills and technologies required by new platform opportunities such as iPhone, Android or desktop while balancing investments in existing websites, web applications, and web technologies. Enterprises that choose to keep up with these customer demands encounter significant product quality vs. time-to-market trade-offs. Businesses that don’t want to make this compromise may not even pursue these high-growth opportunities altogether.

Appcelerator lets you quickly build the compelling applications customers want, on the mobile and desktop platforms they use every day, with the web knowledge and technologies you have right now. It’s cross-platform development without compromise.

Develop

The Appcelerator platform allows for multiple development languages, operating systems, and devices through a layer of common (Titanium) APIs that can be controlled from a single code base. Accessing the file system or local media files, sharing a common UI, and other tasks are similarly executed across platforms, whether it’s a Twitter app for the PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone, or Android.

Test

While you are building your app, dive into the Appcelerator Network to test it in real-time through the built-in simulator.

Package

Once an application is complete – or an ad hoc build is required – the Appcelerator Network wraps your app with the run-time code necessary to deploy on the selected platforms.

Distribute

Don’t underestimate the time required to go through the hoops required for distribution! With Appcelerator, all of the provisioning, certificates, profiles, and other distribution details are handled by our cloud services.

Analyze

Take the pulse on how your app is being used by end customers. Get aggregate performance data or feature-level feedback.
