Apple’s app store is a place for apps not just for iPhones, but also for Apple iPad and other products from the company. With millions of Apple devices in use, the number of Apps that are required by their users continues to grow. From gaming, entertainment, news, social networks to such basic tasks as email, the users require apps for all of them.

Apps for iPhone and iPad

It should first be noted that both these devices have the same operating system or platform. This allows an app created for one to be run on the other too. Basically, for the purposes of app development, they can be considered to be same devices – except they are different in screen size and other factors such as the size of the keyboard. iPad has a larger keyboard than iPhone. So when designing an app, the GUI of both should be kept in mind.

The iPhone SDK

After June 2010, the original iPhone SDK is called iOS SDK, after Apple renamed the iPhone OS to iOS. The latest version of the SDK is 4.3, released on 3 March 2011.

You can use C, Objective C, C++ and JavaScript to develop apps for iPhone. Among these only the first three are allowed to link against documented API’s, so practically these are the languages you will be writing the more complicated apps in.

The core components of the SDK consist of the following:

• Cocoa Touch This is the user interface library that supports touch support, accelerometer, camera etc.

• Media support The types of audio, visual and other media supported include audio mixing, OpenGL, different image file formats, ideo playback etc.

• Core Services These are the most basic services that are part of the iOS universe, including networking, support for threading, SQL database using SQLite etc

• OS X Kernel Services This provides support for the OS level services such as file system, power management, TCP/IP level development etc. The iOS kernel is based Mac OS, which in turn is derived in part from Unix.

The SDK is free to download by third party developers, though once you create an app, and wish to sell it on the App Store, you have to pay a fee to Apple, called the iPhone Developer Free Program, which is currently set at $99. With more than 10 billion apps having been sold by January 2011, developing apps for iPhones is a multi-billion dollar industry. And because the SDK is free to download, and there are a number of tutorials available online about how to get into the think of the iPhone app development, the possibilities are immense for any developer.

Everyone Knows It’s All About HTML5, Right?
The vast amount of information available on the Internet and the increasing tech-savvy business owners are fostering a new understanding of web design, application development, social media, and more. At Brolik, we love an informed consumer and really love an informed client. Recently, though, we’ve been getting asked a very interesting question and may have a surprising answer. I’ve heard other developers complain about the question, and I’ve heard business development folks explain the answer incorrectly. Do you know what it means to ask: “Can you please code my new website in HTML5?”

HTML and HTML5… Defined

There are a few reasons why asking someone to code “in HTML5? is not exactly correct. First and foremost, HTML5 is not a new coding language or a new framework to build websites on. HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is a coding language that’s universal for the web. All web browsers read and interpret it. HTML5, for all intents and purposes, is a slang term for some new standards in HTML. There are some new tags that are specific to HTML5, but the language is still the same HTML.

Before I give a few examples of the new features that HTML5 allows, let’s make sure we’re on the same page with how this stuff works. HTML code is always the same. It’s a programming language, and much like Spanish or French, it has its own structure, syntax, organization, etc. Once you deploy a website, it’s up to the web browsers to interpret the HTML code and display it to the user. The different browsers- Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc- all interpret HTML in their own way, which is to say, however they please. So when a developer writes a webpage in HTML and views it in Microsoft Internet Explorer, it may look completely different than viewing it in Google Chrome. Independent organizations like the World Wide Web Consortium (the W3C) compile and write standards for how browsers should interpret code, but there’s certainly no law that requires browsers to follow any standards. This is especially frustrating for developers, as it forces us to test the same line of code in every browser we can think of, including different versions of the same browser. If you’ve ever heard a developer or Internet nerd complain about IE 6, this is why. Beautifully written code won’t necessarily render correctly in IE 6… it’s just the way it is.

The Examples

Understanding that there are code standards is a good start to understanding some of what HTML5 means. Since the demand for standardization is greater now than it ever has been, companies that make web browsers (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Mozilla) are doing their best to stick to standards. HTML5 offers up a new set of standard tags and information about how they should output and what they need to do. The new tags include better and more compatible video embedding (without Flash), more in-depth form tags, and location-based features that come into play a lot with mobile web. For example, before HTML5?s video tag, embedding a video was an iffy experience. The code to do so (without HTML5) is not well supported across different browsers, and developers are forced to add “catches” into their code so that a browser that’s confused by an “embed” tag will revert to something else that it can understand. Even Flash video players (the current standard) require coding a couple different “versions” to make sure all browsers display the content correctly. HTML5?s video tag now makes sure that one universal tag always works and always degrades in older browsers. It’s that type of standardization that separates HTML5 from other HTML.

When And Where It’s Safe to Use HTML5

Now HTML5 was unofficially “released” (or at least made popular) in April 2010 when Steve Jobs brought it to mainstream attention. But that in no way meant that all browsers were ready to read and interpret the new features and functionality that HTML5 offers. Currently, in March of 2011, as HTML5 is really starting to take hold, there are more and more places where it’s 100% acceptable to use the new tags. The most prominent place is mobile web. New smartphones that have full Internet browsing capabilities are almost all up to standards when it comes to their browsers. There’s no such thing (yet) as an outdated phone browser because the mobile phone web browsers are so new. Coding a mobile web application or a mobile web site is very easy compared to the untamed wild of desktop browsers and desktop browser versions. But aside from the mobile web, the new or new-ish versions of Safari, Chrome, and Firefox are all ready to take advantage of the new capabilities. Internet Explorer 9, recently released, will supposedly follow Internet standards better than any previous version of Internet Explorer. here is some info on how it performs out of the gate.

But Back to the Question at Hand

Hopefully I haven’t insulted anyone who’s ever asked a developer to code their site in HTML5 because I truly love the interest in the web and in technology in general. My intention here is to clarify the little distinctions so that there’s no confusion down the road. A more appropriate question could be: “Can we (and should we) take advantage of the new features and technology offered by HTML5?” But don’t forget to follow that up with: “Will it still work in IE 6 on Windows XP, though?” Because of course: “My office only uses IE 6 and we can’t upgrade. I’m sure most of my clients are the same way, too.”

*Mass sigh from developers everywhere*

Gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry and it goes through huge transformations every now and then. One of the trends that have emerged in the last couple of years is the increasing demand for multi-player games. Multi-player game development is heating up as developers are building engaging games that can be played over various networks, be it Internet or mobile phones. Earlier multi player trend was restricted to PC games only but with emerging technologies, such as Bluetooth and 3G coming up, more people are getting hooked to multiplayer games on their cellphones.

Multi-player games have come a long way from the original 1 to 1 player ratio to accommodate more and more players. Now you can play these games in a closed group among your peers or venture out for other random users. These games are a result of hundreds of hours of hard work put in by programmers. It takes creativity and innovation to design and develop successful multi-player games. Developers need to create these games in their minds and shape them up with excellent graphics and coding to ensure ultimate user experience.

Games mean entertainment to the end users whereas; it is serious business for the developers. Many businesses promote these games as it in turn helps them to promote their businesses. Many go in for custom development of these applications at offshore development centers. Here experienced programmers can be hired at competitive prices, which allow even the small businesses to take on their giant counterparts. From iPhone to PCs, multiplayer games are selling like hot cakes at the moment.

Tips To Select Best Game Development Service:

* These applications are not easy to create and therefore, you have to be choosy while looking for an offshore software firm to outsource your project. Do a detailed research on the Internet and zero in on a few firms before making the final selection.
* Look at their portfolio and expertise of the firm before awarding the project. This will give you a fair idea of the capabilities of the firm. Take a closer look at the portfolio and see if they have developed games similar to yours, which will serve as an added advantage.
* Are you looking for your app to work over cross platforms viz. PC and mobile phones? If so, you will need to hire programmers who have expertise in both the platforms, which is a very niche area of game development.
* Pricing is the key issue when it comes to programming your application. You will see a great variation in the prices being offered by different firms and you need to get the best quality at cheapest price.

All you need to do is hire the best offshore development company, which can offer you desired applications for your business. Remember if you can engage gamers once with your application, there will be no problem for you to base on that popularity and create brand value for life.

Cloud computing is making a mark on the IT landscape, but it has yet to reach the level of universal acceptance that virtualization has achieved. To be fair, virtualization has been around for longer than cloud computing, and it also went through an initial phase of introduction and adoption by companies before it reached the depth of penetration it enjoys today.

Virtualization experienced quite a tough time gaining acceptance, and there were a lot of question marks around performance especially for the hosted variants, such as Microsoft’s Virtual Server. It took time to bring to market virtualization solutions which worked to an acceptable standard, such as Microsoft’s Hyper-V and VMware’s ESX Server. It was only when these solutions came to market that customers saw a comparable network performance standard that competed with ‘real world’ network installations.

Cloud computing is going through this same process, with a few, typically larger companies dipping their proverbial big toe in the water to see the result.

Microsoft and VMware are both highly active players in the cloud computing market, and as they went through this very same process with virtualization. Looking at how they are approaching the market and the delivery of technology will give us an insight into the development of cloud computing today.

VMware and Microsoft are the two leading companies in the virtualization sector; however they have very different approaches. VMware views virtualization in fundamental terms and that it is as integral to a network as the hardware. VMware’s ESX Server has a well-deserved, industry reputation for being robust and delivering high reliability. This contrasts with Microsoft’s approach, which is to view virtualization as a function of the operating system (OS). Microsoft’s Hyper-V makes it very simple and easy for customers to implement a virtualization solution as a consequence.

When it comes to the Cloud, VMware views it as IT as a Service and has adopted a hybrid approach for customers utilizing services in both private and public clouds. Public cloud service provides through the VMware approach include COLT, BlueLock and Verizon. It is easy to see why VMware has virtualization placed at the forefront of delivery of cloud computing services. This means that VMware clients essentially create new virtual machines (VMs) within the private or public cloud they are operating within.

The Microsoft approach ignores virtualization entirely. Customers do not need to worry about virtualization being implemented in any shape or form as Microsoft handles the delivery of cloud services. This is highly attractive for customers who do not want to be concerned with the technical intricacies of virtualization, but do want to assess cost-effective cloud-based services.

Which Cloud Computing model wins out within the industry is going to spell the end of virtualization or its continued need. If Microsoft’s model gains traction over VMware’s, then there is no need for virtualization and it will die off as a necessary solution, certainly for private deployments. The reason for the digression between the two leaders is simple: VMware is primarily a virtualization company, whereas Microsoft has developed a successful Internet presence over the last decade and has a global portfolio of data centers, making it well placed to provide cloud services (which VMware does not have).

The question is will cloud computing see off virtualization in the market? Not in the near future is probably the fair response, not least because cloud computing is not yet a ‘trusted’ solution. Businesses have far too much experience with connectivity issues and downtime to move over to an Internet environment for their companies at this time. In addition, there is still the customer perception that the cloud still has security issues, though this has largely been addressed today. The bottom line is virtualization is in the game with cloud computing for the moment, but in five years time? That’s a whole new ball game.

The advantage of having an e-reader is that it actually replaces the countless heavy books that you would have to carry around otherwise in one light package. We all love books, but it must be admitted that physical copies of each book would be cumbersome and much more of a bother.

Although a touchpad is not in the offing, the Kindle e-reader offers a screen with one of the highest resolutions that is sure to make you feel like you are actually reading text from paper and not an electronic device. The screen is made in such a way that it eliminates any possibility of glare so that you can read comfortably in sunlight and not have to worry about the lighting. Another plus is the size of the screen. The screen is a good 6?. This gives you the illusion that you are reading an actual paperback.

The Kindle e-reader is made for convenience. It allows users to navigate easily without confusion. When the device is not in use, a screen saver appears that is typically the cover of some book. It is rare for the same screensaver to appear twice.
