eLearning event on HTML5 for Mobile with jQuery Mobile - May 17
I'll be doing an eLearning event on HTML5 for Mobile with jQuery Mobile. There will also be a few items sprinkled in on ASP.NET Razor.
Mobile development is a hot item. Customers are buying iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and many other mobile computing devices at an ever increasing record pace. Devices based on iOS and Android are nearly 80 percent of the marketplace. RIM continues to be dominant in the business area across the world. Nokia's growth with Windows Phone will grow on a worldwide basis. At the same time, clearly web development is a tremendous driver of applications, both on the public Internet and on private networks. How can developers target these various mobile platforms with web technologies? Developers can write web applications that take advantage of each mobile platform, but that is a lot of work. Into this space, the jQuery Mobile framework was developed. This eLearning series will provide an overview of mobile web development with jQuery Mobile, a detailed look at what the jQuery Mobile framework provides for us, how we can customize jQuery Mobile, and how we can use jQuery Mobile inside of ASP.NET. -

The iPhone 20 second rule
If you didn't know it, the iPhone has two twenty second rules that developers need to pay attention to:
-
Safari and WebKit Development for iPhone OS 3.0

Opening another application on the iPhone using NSUrl
The NSUrl class is what allows an application to open other applications within the iPhone OS while passing parameters. The calling sequence is fairly simple. There are two steps to making this call:
1. When the NSUrl class is instantiated, a string representing the URL scheme is called. Note that different applications will have different schemes and use different protocols.
2. The static method UIApplication.SharedApplication.OpenUrl(ns) is called, where ns is the NSUrl class. When the static method is called, if it is not possible to open a URL, a false is returned. If it is possible to open the URL that is passed, the URL is opened and a true is returned. -
