CSS 3 Rounded Corners Example |
||||||||
My curiosity into CSS 3 was piqued at Scotch on the Rocks 2010 this year. There was a very good presentation from Chris Mills from Opera http://twitter.com/chrisdavidmills where he touched on some of the new CSS 3 and HTML 5 functionality that some of the modern browsers are taking advantage of. I particularly liked some of the really simple, but visual CSS 3 changes, in this case rounded corners.
This article is a quick example of how to add rounded corner styling to your designs.

Twitter client roundup for Android phones |
||||||||
I've had my HTC Desire for a few months now, and I've been using half a dozen Twitter clients for most of that time. I've been switching between them periodically to compare the features sets. I'm running out of running system memory now, so I have to delete some of them (Where is Froyo!)
Here is my roundup of some of the Twitter clients I've been testing for the Android platform. I'm going to update this with more Apps as time passes. Seesmic, Peep and a few others will be added later. Similarly if there are any you know of that aren't listen please comment below!

Using the JQuery Cookie plugin to emulate server side forms |
||||||||
A project request recently came up where we needed to track some users responses to a series of questions, then build an account 'home' page based on those responses. Pretty straight forward you'll agree. The problem here arose from the clients using a bespoke online solution that blocked any kind of server side interaction.
I've played with JavaScript cookies in the past to remember display states in JQuery functions, so I thought they would be a great solution to this. This article deals with how to use JavaScript cookies to emulate a normal form submission.
There is a demo of using the JQuery Cookie plugin to emulate forms here.

Swype 1.47 for Android phones |
||||||||
I've never found typing on the Android graphic keyboard to be all that difficult, so when people started mentioning a way of typing that involved simply dragging your finger around, rather than tapping the keyboard, and how it was much quicker, I was a little sceptical.
The Application is called Swype, and it literally allows you to drag you finger over the keyboard to type. I've only just installed it, so I'm reserving judgement until I've used it for a while.

It is not the easiest of installs, as it is not available through the Android Marketplace, and you need a specific version based on your handset (I love the Android platform, but how fragmented can the handset market get?).
Go here and download the version for your phone.
