Accelerated native mobile app development Titanium gem
summary
Demonstrates that Ti gem adds Rails‑style generators, rake tasks and a CLI that scaffolds CoffeeScript, Compass/Sass assets and compiles them into a single app bundle; Titanium compiles to native Objective‑C and Java (uses WebKit runtime for some callbacks). Describes building GolfStatus and a Gillette/Walmart kiosk that ship, estimates 80–90% reuse across iOS/Android with platform branching for UI and back button quirks, warns testing is weak and shows CoffeeScript + Sass/Compass workflow and module/extension paths.
