Get applications to work with multiple screen sizes, rather than create multiple apps

Take a ride on public transport and it’s like a game of spot the smart phone. Instead of passing time by reading a paper, more commuters choose to spend time connecting, searching and playing on their web-enabled devices. Soon we...

Chameleon Web Sites

Whitelabelling web sites requires pre-planning

Unless you're a genius, you don't always have the best ideas. And unless you work for an incredible all-rounder, your organisation won't always have the best products and services. That is why it sometimes makes sense to reach out and...

Pimp up your site for performance and scalability

The new always-on, always-connected world puts a premium on performance and scalability

What is most important to you, the way something appears or the way something works? Chances are you are not that bothered by the second factor; most users are not that interested in the ‘under the bonnet’ mechanics of an...

AppInventor to drop out of school

Successful apps are more complex than pushing Lego together

Something odd is happening. While children have never been more involved in computing, fewer and fewer young people are studying technology. Any parent of young children will be able to regale you with tales of their offspring multitasking with...

Silverlight bashing

There is no place for the niche anymore

by

Poor old Silverlight. Once upon a time, the application framework was one of the keys to writing rich internet applications and it was the darling of a strong development community. But it’s been a tough 12 months-or-so for Silverlight. First,...

The future is mass mobile and niche native apps

Betting your strategy on one particular platform is not a realistic approach

App Inventor won't solve your end user development issues

You'll still need IT to be engaged
