Yes, you read it right. The iPhone SDK ist not just for Developers who want to develop native iPhone applications. It’s also for Web Developers who want to take the capabilities of the SDK to write code for their web apps. Apple did a fine work here enhancing Dashcode, the Environment for programming Dashboard Widgets on Mac OS X, with a new feature to directly build your web apps in Dashcode. In Conjunction with the iPhone Simulator you now can, preview, debug, optimize and build your web applications all in Dashcode. Apple also put online an introduction video into iTunes (note: you must have an ADC membership account) which describes new technologies like advanced JavaScript functions, native SVG support, CSS effects, offline data support, full screen mode and gesture events. read more

How green is your Web site?

Let’s look at one performance rule on one site. Wikipedia is one of the top ten sites in the world (#9 according to Alexa). I love Wikipedia. I use it almost every day. Unfortunately, it has thirteen images in the front page that don’t have a far future Expires header (Rule 3). Every time someone revisits this page the browser has to make thirteen HTTP requests to the Wikipedia server to check if these images are still usable, even though these images haven’t changed in over seven months on average. A better way to handle this would be for Wikipedia to put a version number in the image’s URL and change the version number whenever the image changes. Doing this would allow them to tell the browser to cache the image for a year or more (using a far future Expires or Cache-Control header). Not only would this make the page load faster, it would also help the environment. Let’s try to estimate how much. read more

There has been a touch of news about the iPhone SDK from Apple. Most of the press believe that the iPhone SDK exceeds developer expectations. As an iPhone user I am quite happy. I look forward to email / contact / calendar push. I think that the tool chain looked fantastic (debugger, simulator, IDE, GUI-builder) and I am sure that I will be seeing fantastic new applications when June comes around (waiting for June again?????). Skype. IM. You name it (as long as Apple approves!) read more
