HTML5 Enterprise Application Architecture Now that we have a good understanding of HTML5 for applications, we can jump right into the HTML5 application architecture. The most important aspect of a good architecture is the independence and integration of all the parts of the system (i.e., integration should not be a factor of dependence). In other words, we strongly recommend lightweight, modular frameworks or libraries that do one or two thing well over the do-it-all mega-frameworks (e.g., Sencha) that try to do too many things, often in their own way (and not the HTML/CSS/JS way). So, in short, go lightweight and modular, and most of all, learn the HTML5 way and NOT the framework way. Here is our recommended HTML5 application architecture (with some library recommendations). From bottom to top: The base of all HTML5 applications is obviously the browser runtime with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript runtime. 2 DOM Access API 3 UI Elements In short, there are two different approaches. 4 Templating 5 Data 6 LightWeight MVC 7 Application

How to Center Anything With CSS Recently, we took a dive into the very core concepts behind CSS layout and explored the differences between absolute and relative positioning. We’re going to follow that up with another CSS layout talk, this time based around a fundamental question that almost every new developer asks: how do you center something? There are a bunch of different types of web elements and layout situations, each calling for a unique solution for centering (both vertically and horizontally). Today we’ll go over a bunch of these scenarios so you can wrap your mind around how they work and come away with the confidence to center anything! Who’s This For? I’ve gotten a lot of commenter feedback lately from designers who struggle with the basic methods and concepts of layout in CSS. Having been there quite a few times myself, I know that this is an immensely frustrating period of your professional growth. Horizontally Center an Element As you can see, by default, our div pops up in the top left of the viewport.

jQuery Mobile 10 Tips for New iPhone Developers - Nettuts+ Making a webapp for the iPhone is a lot like making a normal web site, but with a few quirks to abide by. In this article, I'll give you a wide variety of tips, covering things such as: "must-haves", usability guidelines, testing/debugging, pitfalls, and performance issues. I hope you enjoy it! WebApps vs. Native Apps Keep in mind that a web application runs in the browser, while a native application is installed on the iPhone. Still not convinced? The list goes on... 1: Viewport, Viewport, Viewport I would say this may be the simplest and most important thing for an iPhone web app. This tells the browser to scale your page in such a way that will make it fit nicely on the iPhone. width=device-widthThis fits the page to the device's width. Keep in mind that the viewport IS NOT A WINDOW. A viewport is a rectangular area of screen space within which an application is displayed. Specifying the viewport is a *must-have* and is the first step into making your web app iPhone-friendly. Conclusion
Developer Network chneukirchen's rack at master - GitHub WebIntent, an Android PhoneGap Plugin | Boris Smus Tech pundits like to lament that the web has no viable future, while web idealists hold that in fact the web is totally fine, with a "too big to fail" sort of attitude. At the root of this disagreement are poorly defined terms. The web can mean many different things to different people. Let's take apart this gob of web technology in light of the increasingly complex landscape of computing and try to make sense of what the web is and where it's going. When the world wide web was first conceived, it was as a collection of interlinked textual documents. Yet the only way we can control all of this web media is via the on-screen user interfaces that the websites provide. This post is a concrete proposal for what a remote controls for the web should be like. I just got back from Scotland, where I had the pleasure of attending UIST 2013 in St. By amping up the softest instances of a song to make them closer in volume to the loudest instances, you can create the perception of loudness.
6 Steps to Building a Better iPhone App Brian LeRoux is Nitobi's Software Architect, and is involved in shepherding the PhoneGap open source project. You can read his blog, or find him on . Thanks to increasingly powerful devices and cheaper data plans, the mobile app space is growing faster every year. Apple has been at the forefront of that growth with the iPhone, by both partnering with telecom companies to provide near-unlimited web access, and redefining application distribution with the App Store, which created a new industry and market for smartphone applications. The App Store has created a gold rush for developers, and there are now over 50,000 applications for sale, making it harder to get a newly released app noticed by users. Here's a list of steps which should be considered when getting into the iPhone app game: Step 1: Narrow your focus A mobile application has precious little screen real estate, so be sure to focus on reducing screen clutter. Step 2: Build a better user experience Step 3: Choose your approach
