Cross Platform Development With Appcelerator Alloy

Alloy is a new application framework by Appcelerator for Titanium.

It provides a nice MVC framework for developers that are building Titanium apps.

The following are the main goals for Alloy:

Productivity: it's important that Titanium developers are productive and productive developers write less code. The main goal of Alloy is to provide a rapid framework for building robust applications.

Maintainability: it's important that Titanium apps can be maintained and sustained - not just by the original developer, but by others that are on the team, that come along afterwards or by others in the Titanium community. Alloy should provide a framework that anyone can drop into and become productive once they understand the basics of Alloy.
Best Practices: it's important that Alloy provide a clean separation of concerns for application design, provide a framework that encapsulates the best practices for Titanium and provides a mechanism for reusable application building blocks called Widgets.
