Appcelerator Titanium: Up and Running

Build native apps for iOS, Android, and Blackberry from a single JavaScript codebase with Appcelerator Titanium. This guide gets you quickly up to speed on this amazing framework and shows you how to generate cross-platform apps with 100% native controls. You’ll also learn the advantages of using Titanium when you want to create an app for just one native platform, rather than struggle with Java or Objective-C.
