As I mentioned in my previous article, iOS 7 represents more than a change in Apple’s approach to their mobile device user interfaces; it also represents an opportunity for developers who’ve been putting off learning how to build native iOS apps to get started. iOS 7 is the latest in a series of changes that makes the present time the best time for a new developer to try their hand at making apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, which include:

This tutorial series, we will build a JSON feed reader in Android. We will fetch all recent posts from javatechig.com (JSON Feed URL is listed below) and display post title, thumbnail, description on UI. User can share s well as we can share the article using android share intent or may view the original website URL using android WebView. http://javatechig.com/api/get_category_posts/?dev=1&slug=android

This article focuses on showing how to use the OpenMobster Backend API to integrate a MySQL database to the Sync+Push Engine.

Benchmarks can reveal the truth – well, some of the truth – about technologies. A well-constructed benchmark can provide a way to compare performance, reliability and other metrics that can make a difference in comparing product quality and effectiveness. But you have to look closely at what a benchmark is measuring and how it was run – and, even then, take its results with a large grain of salt. Here’s how to approach benchmarks and their touted results.

I have finally managed to understand one of the most unusual databases of today, Datomic, and would like to share it with you.

This post shows you how you can store and query documents encoded with MessagePack in Couchbase Server 2.0!

A mini js+css library for flipping things over.

In this tutorial we are going to create a gallery with a smooth diagonal fade effect, powered by css3 transitions. It will scan a folder with photos on the server and display them in a grid that spans the entire browser window. Adding new photos is as easy as copying two files (a regular image and a thumbnail, preferably 150×150 px) to the gallery folder.

In this blog article we outline how our baseline test work (a form of black box testing), listing the advantages and disadvantages associated with them, in the hopes that it will help others set up their own tests. This is the first in a series of posts on the various tests we use.

Media players in mobile user interfaces, comparing to other design elements, is allowing a little bit more design creativity and this should and is exploited by designers at maximum. The media players, either for video or audio, have a wide selection of styles and shapes that look good and at the same time keep a good user experience, which is a really important factor of designing for mobile and actually for every medium.

The key problem with the hidden factory is - that the efforts are not visible to management. Even many developers are not aware of the hidden factory.

With the ZXing library, you can create Android applications with barcode scanning functionality. In Android SDK: Create a Barcode Reader, we implemented basic barcode reading with the library in a simple app. In this tutorial series, we will build on what we learned to create an app that will scan books and retrieve related information about them from Google Books API.

If you have ever wondered why your Java applications are consuming more memory than you tried to allocate, find out from our explanation. In short we reached to the following formula Max memory = [-Xmx] + [-XX:MaxPermSize] + number_of_threads * [-Xss] + some_elbow_room_for_jvm. But there is a lot more in the blog post.

In this tutorial I want to demonstrate how we can build a locking header bar which will auto-hide itself after scrolling down the page. Also when scrolling to the very bottom we will display a small footer which includes many of the same nav links.

Join GitHub trainer and evangelist Tim Berglund for a look at Git, from the bits up. This talk is not for the Git beginner, but a more advanced look at "weird internals stuff" and obscure commands that will reveal a sort of internal API that is there for you to use and help expose you to certain intrinsic software design insights that can be had from looking at Git at this level.

German parliment may be preparing to end future software patenting, and Subversion 1.8 is live! Plus, learn how to speed up your site with Redis and watch the funniest JavaZone parody trailer yet!

VS 2012 web templates come preloaded with standard front-end libraries. This post is meant to complete the list with other essential and productive libraries that should be used in modern public-facing MVC and webform projects.

“What gets measured, gets done”. We all know this. By the way, did you notice that it says: “done”, not “done well”? We like metrics, because we base decisions on them. If we didn’t have them, then we would just be guessing.

cito automatically translates the Ć programming language to C, Java, C#, JavaScript, ActionScript, Perl and D. Ć is a new language, aimed at crafting portable programming libraries, with syntax akin to C#. The translated code is lightweight (no virtual machine, emulation nor large runtime), human-readable and fits well the target language (including naming conventions and documentation comments).

At the 2013 CamelOne conference, James Strachan introduced the new open source Apache Camel-based iPaaS at the ending keynote on the first day.

NoFlo — the flow-based programming system I started — is now two years old. I pushed the first commits to GitHub on June 5th 2011 from Hacker Dojo in Mountain View. To get us started with the story, I'll let Wikipedia summarize...

As the Web matures and the range of mobile devices we use to access it rapidly grows, our jobs as web designers and developers get considerably more complicated.

How fast can you deploy an enterprise-grade integration from scratch? We’re setting out to break preconceived notions of time to market with the 15-minute integration.

Inspired in a Google I/O talk, I uploaded this effect for everyone to see. Cool.
