This chapter describes the processes of two fundamentally important, yet deceptively simple, parts of the Titanium framework. In this chapter, we'll explain how to go about creating and reading app properties so that you can store data that is accessible from any part of your application. This is similar to how session data or cookies would work if you were building a web-based app.
