The first week of February for me yielded this little bounty…
- I didn’t know all of these but picked up some nice little tips and tricks from 64 Things Every Geek Should Know
- The iPhone app development is clearly the big daddy when it comes to mobile apps, so much so many mobile app developers much surely be thinking why would they bother to develop for any other handsets when with the iPhone sales climbing steadily all the time. Well, how about Palm offer $1Mil for top app developers. Interesting, while iPhone development requires quite a deep understanding C# knowledge, all you need to develop for Palm is strong HTML/CSS/JS. Oh, and a killer idea of course.
- As IMAP ports are blocked in work, GMDesk is a great little Air app that runs Gmail from your desktop outside the web browser, WIN!
- We’ve already had the first tweets from Space, now comes the first Twitpic from Space.
- Need a test bench to test multiple versions of IE? This week I discovered IE Tester, although I’ve also heard that it can be inconsistent with bugs in IE6. But a useful tool if you can’t get to a vanilla install of IE6. If indeed, you even still support IE6.
- Part of The Virtual Revolution season on the BBC, The Great Leveling is well worth an hour of your time.
- Perch looks like a useful little CMS for small scale projects though a site license puts me off when there are other excellent CMS’s for gratis.
- I’ve always liked Chrome, it’s lightweight and zippy and does what it needs to do well. However, Firefox has remained my primary browser and a big reason for this is Firebug, which I consider the most important weapon in my arsenal as a web developer. But this week sees the release of Firebug for Chrome, hurrah!
- And finally, 7 tools for better websites makes for good reading for any website owner…
Off to BizCamp in Newry tomorrow so hopefully get a post up about it tomorrow night…
