With all the talk of Cloud computing at the moment and after reading a short article on Dzones blog a few months back that questioned whether or not It Was the Right Time for Web-Based IDEs? (it was a split poll), we were inspired enough to venture out and find out what web based IDEs [...]

A few months ago we published a popular article called 12 Useful and Free Downloadable Web Design Books, and the positive response we received from our readers was phenomenal. But, just as there is with most things, there is always room for improvement. With the help of readers and authors we have discovered another 9 [...]

There are some fundamental questions I ask myself when I am test-driving any new web app: Will it really make my life easier? And, can I get this thing working easily, quickly and painlessly? They are very basic questions, and will certainly not get you to the root and power of any app, but if [...]

There are thousands and thousands of social networking and media apps for the iPhone and for Android, we all know that. But what about all the apps for Windows Mobile? Certainly, Win Mob is no where near as popular within the mainstream of mobile users as the other two, but does have a fairly comprehensive library of apps that are freely available.
So, if you’re a Windows Mobile user and you are in need of some social media and networking apps, look no further.

Every web designer and developer should have a good and reliable wireframe (mockup or prototype) tool at there disposal. The importance of such a tool differentiates amongst web designers and developers, some use them, some don’t. Personally, I use them. It is in this initial stage of development that makes web design enjoyable, the coming together of the clients needs and your own creative ideas onto a blank canvas, allowing you to plan effectively the visual arrangement of the sites content.

All designers and developers love apps, tools and services that help to make there work flow easier. That is why Adobe AIR has proven, maybe not as mainstream popular as it would have liked, to be an indispensable framework for building small and useful applications. Who has not got a Twitter client that has not be been built with AIR? Not many. That is what AIR seems to be excelling in, Twitter clients and useful web design, developer and graphic designer apps. That is the focus of todays article.

Thunderbird as a stand alone email client is not really that powerful, yet it can be useful for basic and not business use. What if you wanted more? What if you wanted a free alternative to the many overblown, commercial email desktop applications, can it be done? Of course it can. With the added inclusion of the many freely available extensions and addons it can bring this basic desktop email application many steps closer to becoming a viable alternative to the very powerful Microsoft Outlook or any other overblown and expensive email app.

Is the mobile operating system Android a threat to the iPhones high standing in the marketplace? Not quite, but it is going to be. The only phones that Android is available on are the G2 Touch, HTC G1, Samsung 7500, HTCMagic and most recently, the HTC Hero (which I bought).It has been gaining popularity slowly, but surely.

Dashboard Widgets are created using the easiest and most wide spread of languages, namely, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. So, they are quite simple to develop,and often there functions are very simple as well, but they are useful. Below you will 30 MAC Dashboard Widgets for Web Designers and Developers. I hope they help.

Adobe AIR has recently surpassed well over 100 millions downloads, and its all thanks largely to the many Twitter apps available. Now, I love Adobe AIR, and hate its current reputation that it is seemingly limited to only Twitter. Why is no one downloading the AIR RSS apps? You should be, they are great, just have a look at the list below.

Windows Mobile will never be able to compete with the iPhone, with the iPhone cool factor being so great, nor with the volume of apps that are available for it. What it can do, alongside Windows Mobile compatible applications, is create a smaller, sleeker smartphone, that is not just an extension of your desktop PC or laptop but a direct portable replacement.

Graphic and image editors can help you create beautiful graphics and give your digital images amazing effects, but they can be expensive. What if all you wanted to do was create something simple and basic, would you pay hundreds of dollars just to do that? No, you would not.

Adobe AIR is marvelous. Simple as that. It takes either or all HTML, JavaScript, Flash or Actionscript and builds you a desktop widget that is compatabile across all operating systems and can be used at any time off-line. There are very few limitations, and anyone with even a little programming knowledge could build an app with relative ease.

All of these freeware applications have been in some cases, modified and trimmed down in size to allow them to fit on to a portable device like a USB drive or a portable hard drive. Rather than carrying a bulky laptop, you can carry all your applications and programs, your bookmarks, local servers, emails, passwords with you anywhere in your pocket. What a great idea!
