Tizen Studio is the official IDE for developing web apps and native apps for Tizen.
Announced the launch of the new version of development environment "Tizen Studio 5.0", which replaced the Tizen SDK and provides a set of tools for creating, building, debugging, and profiling mobile apps using the Tizen Web API and native API. The environment is based on the latest version of the Eclipse platform, has a modular architecture and allows you to install only the necessary functionality at the installation stage or through a special package manager.
For those unaware of Tizen OS, they should know that this es a project is being developed under the auspices of the Linux Foundation, most recently with Samsung. Tizen is built on Samsung's Linux platform (Samsung Linux Platform - SLP), a reference implementation built into LiMo.
The project was originally conceived as an HTML5-based platform for mobile devices to be successful in MeeGo. Samsung merged its previous Linux-based operating system effort, Bada, into Tize, and has since used it primarily on platforms such as handheld devices and smart TVs.
The platform continues the development of MeeGo and LiMO projects and is distinguished by the ability to use web APIs and web technologies (HTML5, JavaScript, CSS) to create mobile applications. The graphical environment is based on the Wayland protocol and the experience of the Enlightenment project and Systemd is used to manage the services.
