Intersquash is a simple yet very functional & free web service that generates an iPhone compatible web interface from feeds.
It is very handy to use the service for creating an iPhone version of any website.
Usage of the service is very easy. Just mention the feed URL & the title of the website & that’s all.
You can see an example for WebResourcesDepot here.
A post: "iPhone Application And Website Development: All Tools And Tutorials You Need" was published at WebResourcesDepot a few weeks ago (if you still didn’t check that post, click here).
Since then, iPocketApps created a website named Apps Amuck whose aim can be summarized as: "learning iPhone application development / 31 days - 31 iPhone applications".
From the website:
The key here is simple: "Taking baby steps is better than taking no steps at all!"
iPhone application development is completely a new world & rather than trying to learn everything once, Apps Amuck is trying to present the information piece by piece.
The source codes of every application can be downloaded.
iPhone is rapidly mobilizing internet users & creating its own standards.
At the time this post is written, there are millions of iPhones in use & numbers are increasing really fast. So, it is becoming very hard to stay in-compatible with it.
There are 2 main ways to deliver your content / product into iPhone:
The major differences between them are, an application can use all the iPhone features (like sounds, movements…), work offline where a webpage cannot (technically yes but it is not functional) and an application can be sold / distributed via the iPhone store.
Tools that are must when creating for iPhone like the SDK or the optional ones that you’ll find very handy.
The main & official source for creating iPhone applications. It provides great & very detailed information & iPhone SDK can be downloaded from here.
Free membership is required for reaching the content. To download development tools like Xcode & distribute your iPhone apps via the store, you need the pay for it.
PhoneGap is an open source development tool and framework that allows web developers to take advantage of the powerful features in the iPhone SDK from HTML and JavaScript.
iPhoney, powered by Safari, gives you a pixel-accurate web browsing environment that you can use when developing web sites for iPhone. It’s the perfect 320 by 480-pixel canvas for your iPhone development
A web based application that enables you to test the look & dimensions of iPhone applications.
A very functional iPhone UI library. It aims to turn standards-based HTML into iPhone compatible interfaces.
To give an example: it transforms <a> tags into sliding interfaces rather then opening a new page. You can read the introduction of the author & see an example (digg for iPhone) created with it.
In WebResourcesDepot, a free iPhone interface PSD file was presented a while ago.
This is another iPhone GUI PSD file that is created by teehan+lax.
The file has a comprehensive list of assets which are fully editable & that will updated within time.
For easier & realistic iPhone application interface designs, 320480 presents a free iPhone interface PSD file for download.
This iPhone PSD file consists most iPhone screen elements & has sensible layer sets.
Perfect multi-column CSS liquid layouts is a series of website layouts use percentage widths and relative positioning and compatible the common web browsers (even Safari on the iPhone and iPod touch).
They’re also ’stackable’ so you can use multiple column types on the one page.
These free CSS layouts include 1-column, 2-column & multi-column ones.
Although there may not be a perfect layout with every new browser version, these layouts are promising.
