Awesome.
This simple cheatsheet should help graphic designers to do their job better, and to simplify developers’ lives.
Getting serious with Android development y’all.
Check this out, Emacs + Eclipse.
Since I’m venturing into Android development now this will be handy.
Eclim provides the ability to access Eclipse features (code completion, searching, code validation, and many more) via the command line or a local network connection, allowing those features to be integrated with your favorite editor. Eclim provides an integration with Vim, but third party clients have been created to add eclim support to other editors as well (emacs, sublime text 2, textmate).
Porn for mobile web developers :D
Interesting perspective.
For example this is an old HP Compaq tablet.
An iOS Developer Takes on Android
Recently, we released the Android version of Meridian, our platform for building location-based apps.
We didn’t use one of these “Cross Platform!” tools like Titanium. We wrote it, from scratch, in Java, like you do in Android.
We decided it was important to keep the native stuff native, and to respect each platform’s conventions as much as possible. Some conventions are easy to follow, like putting our tabs on the top. Other conventions go deep into the Android Way, like handling
Intents, closing oldActivities, implementing Search Providers, and being strict about references to help the garbage collector.Now, our platform leverages HTML5 (buzzword, sorry) in many places for branding and content display, so we got a fair amount of UI for free. But there was much platform code written in Objective-C that needed translation into Java, such as map navigation, directions, and location switching.
So, we rolled up our sleeves, downloaded the Android SDK, and got to work.
In depth look in comparing between mobile apps and mobile web. Worth reading before you plunge into delivering your mobile products.
Many of the arguments I’ve seen that are pro-web tend to be technological arguments, and they’re maybe mostly true as far as they go. But consumers don’t buy based on quickness of updates, newness of technology, or whether their vendor is “in control” of the development process. Platform-agnosticism is part of your politics, not your customers’ buying decision. Users couldn’t care less, particularly non-technical users.
Agree with this although I prefer mobile web. I’m a freedom junkie I guess :D
Gonna be an Android dev soon.
