The Tizen SDK is a comprehensive set of tools for developing Web and Native Tizen applications. It consists of Web IDE, Native IDE, Emulator, toolchain, GUI Builder, testing tools, dynamic analysis tools, and sample code, and documentation.
This early alpha release of the Tizen SDK runs on Ubuntu. Future versions of the Tizen SDK will also run on Windows and Mac platforms. Tizen Web apps may be developed without relying on an official Tizen IDE, as long as the app complies with Tizen packaging rules.

Tizen is an open source, standards-based software platform supported by leading mobile operators, device manufacturers, and silicon suppliers for multiple device categories, including smartphones, netbooks, tablets, in-vehicle infotainment devices, smart TVs, and more. Tizen will offer an innovative operating system, applications, and a user experience that consumers can take from device to device.
The Tizen project will reside within the Linux Foundation and will be governed by a Technical Steering Group. The Technical Steering Group is the primary decision-making body for the open source project, with a focus on platform development and delivery, along with the formation of working groups to support device verticals.
The Tizen Association has been formed to guide the industry role of Tizen, including gathering of requirements, identification and facilitation of service models, and overall industry marketing and education.
Tizen will provide a robust and flexible environment for application developers, based on HTML5 and Wholesale Applications Community (WAC). With HTML5's robust capabilities and cross platform flexibility, it is rapidly becoming the preferred development environment for mobile apps and services. The Tizen SDK and API will allow developers to use HTML5 and related web technologies to write applications that run across multiple device segments, including smartphone, tablet, smart TV, in-vehicle infotainment, and netbook.
