The Android platform is a software stack for mobile devices including an operating system, middleware and key applications. Developers can create applications for the platform using the Android SDK. Applications are written using the Java programming language and run on Dalvik, a custom virtual machine designed for embedded use which runs on top of a Linux kernel.

If you want to know how to develop applications for Android, you’re in the right place. This site provides a variety of documentation that will help you learn about Android and develop mobile applications for the platform.

What is Android?

Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. This early look at the Android SDK provides the tools and APIs necessary to begin developing applications on the Android platform using the Java programming language.

Following are the websites list who provide free php scripts. You can find lots of information about PHP as well as free code samples, code galleries, and free scripts for download at these and other sites. There may be some premium php scripts which may come for a price but overall the list is good enough.

iPhone SDK includes Web app creation tool

The iPhone SDK (software development kit) made available yesterday includes a new version of Dashcode (v. 2.0 Beta [126]) that allows creation of Web apps for the iPhone. When you click run, these Web apps launch in the Aspen Simulator. The tool also has support for bundling home icon images into the deployed Web app.

Preset styles include the standard sliding-style “Browser” interface. Code snippets include gauges, indicators, forward and back buttons, form elements and more.

Whether this means Web apps will be able to be stored locally under iPhone software/firmware 2.0 has not yet been determined

iPhone OS 2.0 will support locally stored Web apps

It appears that Web-apps can be stored locally under the forthcoming iPhone OS 2.0. The new OS iteration will include support for the client-side database API, which is part of the HTML 5 spec. Apple says this functionality goes “well-beyond cookies” [...] Continue Reading…

An Apple press release accompanying today’s “software roadmap” announcements states that “a limited number of developers will be accepted into Apple’s new iPhone Developer Program,” which is priced at $99. As previously reported, the program allows access to pre-release iPhone software; technical support; the ability to get code onto iPhones for testing; and distribution of applications via the new App Store.

The “Enterprise Program” costs $299 per year.

“The iPhone Developer Program will initially be available to a limited number of developers in the U.S. and will expand to other countries in the coming months.”

Which means that we third world programmers in UK with official iPhones still get treated like second class citizens, so I guess we might as well soldier on with the unofficial SDK and not be limited by Apple’s marketing policy.

Now I’m sure that Apple thinks that the rest of us will wait 6 months while other [...] Continue Reading…

Much like the Installer.app application used to install unofficial iPhone applications, official iPhone applications will be delivered wirelessly to the iPhone via “App Store,” a new program that will be added to the iPhone in the next software update.

All of the hosting, credit card transactions, etc. will be handled by Apple.

Developers will be able to set whatever price they want for applications, but Apple will take a 30% cut of revenues.

There will also be a mechanism to download applications onto your computer then transfer them.

For free applications, there will be no charge to the developer.

Software development kit for the iPhone is available to developers today as a free download (the iPhone Dev site is currently down for maintenance). Joining the iPhone developer program — which will provide technical support, code testing and allow distribution through the “App Store” — costs $99.

The iPhone 2.0 software update — which allows end-users [...] Continue Reading…
