IT eBooks

In the summer of 2007, Steve Jobs changed the world by releasing the iPhone and boldly declared the future was web-based applications. A short year later, the story changed, but the vision remained. At this time I was working as "acting CTO" for a very small web consultancy called Nitobi (we gave ourselves joke titles and mine was actually SPACELORD!1!!). The iPhone SDK, not yet called iOS SDK, was just released and a few of my colleagues found themselves at Adobe in San Francisco for the iPhone Dev Camp. They arrived with the ambiguous idea to discover if it actually was possible to realize web technology for app development. Rob Ellis, Brock Whitten, and Eric Osterly succeeded in bridging the UIWebView to make native calls, and the first implementation of PhoneGap was born. A very short time later, Joe Bowser built an Android implementation. Dave Johnson, Nitobi's "real CTO", followed quickly with the BlackBerry implementation. Herein, PhoneGap got real. And then, less than a year from the first commits, in the spring of 2009, I found myself giving one of the first PhoneGap presentations at the first JSConf, and despite me being terribly scared, people loved it.

Developing apps for mobile devices can be done using many different approaches and languages. Many apps are developed natively; meaning that they are developed in Java, Objective C, or some other language natively understood by the SDK available for the device. While native development allows the greatest flexibility and performance, the problem arises when you want to move an app from one platform to another: suddenly you're writing the app nearly from scratch. Then if you want to move to another platform, the same thing occurs. There's got to be a better way! All current mobile platforms support the idea of web apps. These are applications coded entirely in HTML and JavaScript. For simple apps, or for apps that don't need to interact with the device's capabilities, this works just fine. But the moment you need to access the file system, work with the camera, and so on, you start needing more access to the device. This is where PhoneGap comes in. PhoneGap (built on Cordova) wraps your HTML and JavaScript with just enough of a native app to let your web app feel more at home on the device. This wrapper is different for each platform, but exposes common capabilities in a consistent way. This helps you to write less code across multiple platforms.

Welcome to PhoneGap social app development. Social networking has changed the way we share information in our world. Where it used to be an e-mail to a friend (or even a letter!), now it's a tweet or a Facebook post, often for the world to see. What's even more amazing is how relatively young the various social networks are and how quickly they have changed the way we communicate and consume information. Because of this transformation, our apps need to support sharing to social networks, lest our app appear dated.

Elearning

Moodle provides you with the tools to store and present music, speech, video, have online group chats, quizzes and, as we have mentioned, manage assignment submission. Let's take a look at just a few of the advantages of converting to Moodle. Most of us have shared online areas where we can distribute worksheets and handouts to students. However, often those shared areas can't be accessed from home. Moodle solves this problem. Shared areas can also become disordered. With Moodle you can manage and organize the sharing of resources easily. Also you can make the way you hand out work much more visually appealing; the process is made far friendlier to cautious students. Third-party content providers have wised up to the idea of learning platforms and more of the resources they provide are specifically designed for environments such as Moodle.

Discover how you can easily create engaging, responsive websites with minimum hassle! This event surely comes with a consequence on the other side. Designers are forced to think of new ways to deliver web pages for mobile users; we can definitely no longer rely on the static grid, since the sizes of mobile devices are too varied. In 2010, Ethan Marcotte [http://ethanmarcotte.com/] coined a new answer to this situation called responsive web design [RWD] that now has become a popular practice in web design to deliver web pages in varying viewport sizes [http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/].
