Like with any other IDE, Appcelerator Titanium has its strengths and weaknesses.

Victor Kotov HTML5 applications with Titanium Pros: uses standard UI elements (tables, buttons, etc.) along with animation effects access network resources via HTML (noting that there are security limitations you should take into consideration and plan on possible ways around) store data locally (with the amount of data limited by the browser); provide support for asynchronous module definition (AMD) and CommonJS pre-cache resources for faster loading HTML5 applications with Titanium Cons: restricted access to certain components of a mobile OS (e.g., Android activities, iOS local notifications, or the Apple iAd service) limited access to device resources (such as the camera) dependence on a browser to run the web app limited functionality without Internet connection restricted use of native UI elements limited access to calendar and contacts (varies depending on the platform) no support for Titanium Extensions distributed through the Appcelerator Open Mobile Marketplace (the extensions are provided as executable code for each platform and therefore can't be launched in the browser) HTML5 applications with Titanium Big Cons: It is buggy Crashes Exam Question What language is Titaniums SDK built on?
