Customer Reviews:
  1. A Good Start
    I am a developer, but I know nothing about the iPhone or iPhone app development, so this book sounded perfect for me. It's a very quick read: I read the whole book (< 160 pages) on a 3 hour flight to Boston. The prose is clear with very little fluff, but did I learn much about iPhone apps with...
  2. Gets around some of the ugliness of dealing with Objective-C
    As an IPhone app developer you've probably found that Objective-C is difficult to learn, rather counter-intuitive in syntax, and not very useful outside of the Mac programming world. Also, trying to get an app into the App store is like dealing with airport security - byzantine rules unevenly...

Rise of Mobile Web Apps Will Give webOS A Time to Shine

IDC analyst Al Hilwa likes where HP's webOS roadmap is going:

"Great to see this outlined in some level of detail. I am not surprised that it will take till September to open this code. There is normally a significant amount of scrutiny and code grooming to ensure that any sizeable chunk of code would stand scrutiny form an IP perspective. This is standard operating procedure. I think putting WebOS in the Apache 2.0 license is a bold move likely to maximize chances of adoption by OEMs because Apache 2.0 is both familiar and permissive. The Enyo JavaScript framework is likely to have a life of its own separate from WebOS because of the difficulty of building good JavaScript frameworks with support for sensors and device hardware. All in all this is a good first step to what might shape up to be an important contribution to the community with many valuable components, but we will have to wait and see if there are any actual takers. Feature maturity compared to Android may be a challenge for WebOS, but the elegance of the user interface and a more participatory governance model should attract some players in the embedded development space."

Make: Online | Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Have you wanted to build an iPhone but did not know where to start? Me too! I'd like to create applications that allow me to control the XBee-mail on a network remotely via a host computer, or hack an interface for PowerMeter on my bike. So it was very exciting to be in this month's Geek Dinner in Providence, RI, which doubled the launch party for the new book by Jonathan Stark, Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, O'Reilly and Senior Editor Providence Geeks co-founder Brian Jepson.Jonathan discussed the pros and cons of developing "native applications" against "web app" for the platforms of the rapid development of mobile phone. He also discussed several nice open source tools to facilitate the development of iPhone applications. This book is perhaps the most informative guide, accessible and concise coding for the iPhone I came across. Very cool!

A big advantage of the book by Jonathan is its extensive use of open source application framework PhoneGap development. For many of the advantages of native applications for iPhone still provides the ease of developing a web application.This is a great tool for those who want to create iPhone applications, but do not want to go through obstacles to become a registered developer and wait for the approval of the application. I am also quite impressed with the HTML version is available free online....
