The Web is a vital part of our daily lives, and as we begin using the Web for tasks traditionally performed on the desktop, such as word processing, software as a service (SaaS) and software + services models are becoming more important. Web developers are caught in the cross hairs of these merging industries. They have the know-how of web development but, often, none of the skills for traditional desktop or mobile development.

Enter Titanium. Appcelerator Titanium is an open source platform for developing native desktop and mobile applications using the web technologies you're already familiar with. Now, web developers can use their skills to develop for both the Web and desktop/mobile platforms. Ben Ramsey will demonstrate how to create a simple application in Titanium Desktop, showing examples using JavaScript and PHP working together in the Titanium run time environment to power dynamic desktop applications that communicate easily with external web services.

Interesting talk. Not sure if I'll be using Titanium any time soon, but useful information non-the-less.

I am intrigued with Titanium and Ben cleared up several things for me. I don't think I'll use Titanium for anything serious for a while, to give Appcellerator time to mature its PHP handling. Thanks for the insights.
