Developer Food for Thought

posted March 16, 2011 #

  • Apple Crippling Performance of Web Apps? - it seems like a bit of a conspiracy theory but sometimes numbers don't lie. Is Apple subversively pushing people towards preferring native apps over web apps b/c they unconsciously feel the speed difference?
  • 10 iOS Libraries to Make Your Life Easier - if I were an iOS developer I would find this extremely helpful. That being said, as a non-developer, I still find it quite interesting to see what tools exist out there for said platform.
  • Twitter Angers Third Party Developers - if the article is to be believed, Twitter is slowly phasing out third party apps. While I can certainly see how this could get under peoples skin I think it may be one of their only choices for monetization. The question of "How does Twitter make money" has still not been answered as far as I'm concerned and it's possible that promoted tweets within a singular official app may be the way they go.

What is it you're looking for?
