The Exadel Blog

In the up­coming months, we are plan­ning on a com­plete over­haul of our web­site to clarify our mes­sage and en­hance the ex­pe­ri­ence for site vis­i­tors. In the mean­time, we’ve made a few helpful changes:

1. The home and about pages have been up­dated with new con­tent to help site vis­i­tors better un­der­stand how Exadel can con­tribute to their success.
2. The man­age­ment team page has been up­dated with in­for­ma­tion about our new Vice President of Marketing, Francisco Kattan. You’ll hear more from Exadel in the coming weeks about this ex­citing ad­di­tion to our man­age­ment team.

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 »

Paul Anthony, owner of Webdistortion​.com, has pub­lished a re­view of Tiggr Mobile Apps Builder on his pop­ular Web de­sign blog.

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 »

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.
