Technology moves fast. Understanding how the mobile space has developed can help us understand where we are today, and why we need the tools and capabilities a modern development framework can provide. Here is an outline of how the mobile ecosystem evolved to the present day.

Located in Athens, Greece, TopCreations is a prime example of the worldwide reach of Appcelerator Titanium. TopCreations was established in 2007 as a strategic consultant and collaborator for the design and the development of web pages and mobile applications. They are currently positioned as one of the key mobile media strategy companies in Greece. According to Business Development Director of TopCreations, Nondas Syrrakos, "Our work as a strategic consultant is comprehensive throughout all stages; we help point out the sectors to invest in, recommend which brands to work with, and provide research in economics, sociology and consumer issues."

In late 2009, iTexico decided to open its doors to the world of collaborative software development. Based out of Austin, Texas with a delivery center in Guadalajara, Mexico, iTexico focuses on providing skilled extended teams and mobile application development services. iTexico provides full life cycle engagement during the app development, including strategy and architecture, design, backend services and testing and quality assurance. In 2011, they began a strategic partnership with with Appcelerator Titanium and have since then produced more than a dozen Titanium applications and have more than 15 Titanium Certified Developers on their team.

Join our first-ever Mobile Developer Challenge!  We challenge our 300,000 mobile developers to create some awesome apps and expand the existing Titanium application universe beyond the 40,000 Titanium mobile apps in the wild today. We’ll be awarding over $25,000 in prizes and giving the top two apps the chance to present their app on stage at CODESTRONG 2012 in San Francisco … plus, the top two apps will have the opportunity to pitch their apps to our “VC Panel” at CODESTRONG!

Today we announced that Appcelerator has acquired Particle Code, the cross-platform development company that won DEMO God in 2010. There is a strong strategic and engineering fit between our two companies as Particle Code adds outstanding iOS, Android, and HTML5 talent to our platform team. We’re excited to welcome our new colleagues, who will be settling in with their fellow developers here in Mountain View, California this week.
