Summer
By Damon | September 9, 2011
Is over, yay! My favorite time of the year is here. So over summer I should have been working on my University project, I did some. I have instead, taken residence at a local creative studio writing loads of code and sipping lots of coffee, good times!! I have been focusing on my iOS development [...]
Javascript files can get pretty messy pretty quick if you prefer to keep everything contained in one javascript file. Together with jQuery, I find that creating objects using the literal notation form works best. Just like any language, it’s ideal to create objects that represent something or else you’re back to square one. An example [...]
A not so new feature of PHP which dates back to version 5.0 is PDO (PHP Data Objects). PDO is a data-access abstraction layer that can access several database engines whilst maintaining the same set of functions. I’m surprised I hadn’t discovered PDO earlier considering its been around way before I knew PHP. As part [...]
I had an interesting project which involved a CD-ROM containing tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Piaggio/Vespa/Aprilia parts, one of these part catalogues nicely wrapped up in some kind of stand alone Java web application, Jetty I think it was. The task, to extract all data and images from the CD, after looking through [...]
I’ve just submitted my project proposal for Uni and decide to make a start collating information, then I find out Google Base is going. Google Base was supposed to be a major part of my final year project, however it appears Google has other plans. The whole service has been depreciated and will be gone [...]
Since I posted here… Heres a catch up! I’ve since started creating iPhone, iPad apps and backed off with the Android apps. One reason, iOS pays compared to Android. Maybe this will change in future but for the time being, I’m sticking with iOS and plan to push out random apps! I’m looking for that [...]
If you have followed my blog, a couple of months ago I started to develop a Rightmove app for Android. I got to the stage where I felt I should seek permission to release the app using the data supplied from Rightmove before I continued. Unfortunately they refused. Never mind.. A few week ago I started [...]
Another week means another Android application that I’ve managed to push out This week its a UK lottery results app which obtains the latest lottery results from the interwebs and displays it all nicely on the users screen. The application will work from Android version 1.6, so theres a good chance your handset will support [...]
Following on from last weeks app which was launched to the market. This week comes another app available via the market. At this rate I may have to set up ‘a app a week’ weksite – similar to Jayekai’s A Game A Week website Doubt I have the time to be able to push one [...]
Since the Rightmove app was a non-starter, I’ve decided (in my quest to publish my first ever app for a mobile device) to create something else. I’m not entirely sure where this app will end, but the initial app will be a simple directory with some advanced features. Using the data I collected last year [...]
