HTML5 Frameworks and Exadel

Bookmark and Share

The Silicon Valley HTML5 Users Group is ded­i­cated to ex­ploring HTML5 and its role as part of an overall modern ap­proach to Web UI de­vel­op­ment in­cluding JavaScript and CSS. Not only does HTML5 in­clude many new tags, its adop­tion also in­volves greater at­ten­tion to the DOM and API making JavaScript even more pow­erful. But, one area where the po­tent com­bi­na­tion of HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS has re­ally shined has been in the area of mo­bile Web apps. Read more »

Working with iOS and SOAP

Bookmark and Share

At Exadel we have a lot of ex­pe­ri­ence with mo­bile de­vel­op­ment. One thing that comes up in our work in this area is the oc­ca­sional ne­ces­sity to com­mu­ni­cate with ser­vices using SOAP. To do this, we need to gen­erate Objective-​​C source code from a WSDL doc­u­ment. In this ar­ticle, I’ll de­scribe some util­i­ties for this and then how to re­solve some is­sues that come up in using these code gen­er­a­tors. Read more »

Exadel Webinar on Mobile Development Choices — Nov. 4

Webinar: Mobile Development Choices: Native vs. Web
Thu, Nov 4, 2010 11:00 AM — 12:00 PM PDT

We’ve had a lot of ex­pe­ri­ence at Exadel helping com­pa­nies de­cide how to ap­proach de­vel­op­ment for mo­bile. There are two basic ap­proaches in­volved. In one, you de­velop an app for each type of mo­bile de­vice you want to target. In an­other, you rely on the Web browser in the mo­bile de­vice and set up your ap­pli­ca­tion on your server to work with the generic browser. As you can imagine, there are good and bad things about ei­ther approach.

The pur­pose of this we­binar is to get down fur­ther into the de­tails of how you would make a de­ci­sion like this. And, there’s still time to reg­ister for this webinar.

Personal Predictions for M-​​Commerce

This entry is part 7 of 8 in the se­ries Thoughts on M-​​Comm

This is a list of my per­sonal pre­dic­tions for mo­bile com­merce based solely on my re­search on the Internet, con­sumer ex­pe­ri­ence, and my gut feeling.

  1. In 10 years, mo­bile will over­come PC advertising.
  2. Android will be the most im­por­tant platform.
  3. Payments using mo­bile will be common in the US.
  4. Mobile will be the new play­ground for hackers.
  5. Smartphones will cost less than US$60.
  6. Tablets will not take off. Read more »
