As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm planning a mobile web toolkit to replace iUI, but what would you want in it that's not in iUI already? Should is work across all browsers, even Pocket IE and that godawful Blackberry Web Browser? Should it use progressive enhancement all over the shop or just create a new version for each browser? Should it focus on touch screens or is clicking important too?
In the early days of the Internet, web sites were for gathering and displaying information. In its 20 year history, this hasn't changed much! At some point on a site you have to enter your details or what information you're searching for. So, it makes sense that the thing I spend most of my time doing is creating forms!
Fantastic news! Long-time golden boy of the javascript world, jQuery, is to be integrated with Microsoft's ASP .NET framework.
Recently, I've been working on an iPhone web app for my employer (internal, so I can't share). I based the design and architecture around the iUI library by Joel Hewitt, which became an overnight de-facto standard for web apps. However, after a lot of playing with it and turning it inside out, I've found there are a number of problems which have not yet been fixed.
I've just come across this brilliant CSS 3 technique from Ajaxian on how to do web animations. This produces a great iPhone-esque technique by simply writing 6 lines of code!
