WE HAVE NOW OFFICIALLY MOVED TO:

TechSkip

Well, they said it may come, and it did! I was hoping it would come the the 360 first but those PS3 guys have got it, yes i’m talking about YouTube integration with the Playstation 3. The new YouTube feature in the PS3 allows people to take videos of their games and upload them straight to YouTube from the game. And this is not just limited to new games, the YouTube API allows older PS3 games to be updated via the internet to support this new feature.

I really did think that the 360 would get this capability first, I mean with the upload to EA.com in the popular game Skate, I hope we see this YouTube feature soon!

I wonder if the Wii will ever support this kind of feature, it is the only console where you can get an Opera web browser for!

Hmmm, Gets you thinking doesn’t it!

Yes, i do know that YouTube has denied my php tutorial from the previous post because it was 47 seconds too long, meh. There’s no real way for me to edit some time out, so i will rerecord it, and post it to you tube and you will have it when it’s re-uploaded.

We have put our first free PHP video tutorial on YouTube, this tutorial is on variables and we will be doing more tutorials, maybe 1 a week or more frequently. Go to our YouTube page, (link below) to watch!

Luckily, I have been fortunate enough to see a project by a friend Shylor take shape over the last few months. It’s called ShyDex (Shylors Index) and its much more than your standard link directory, it’s a community.The current stable version of ShyDex (V2) is live now at www.ShyDex.com but the new version (V3a) codename ShyDex Revolution is going to be something really special, I can tell. The first “Alpha” release of V3 is avalible for you to take a look at over at http://www.shydex.com/v3a/ go take a look and post in the comments, tell us what you think!

Hey guys! You may have noticed from the title that currently I have a project called Dream Show in the works. It’s an online web 2.0 photo slideshow and management application. It is currently in alpha testing. Just thought I would update you on what’s going on here. More on Dream Show later. Enjoy!

If you’re a Mac user like me, you may know that it can sometimes be hard to find good applications to do all of your web coding in! Well, I have found a solution.

CODA - One window web development.

CODA is one great application, seriously! I love it and use it every day, all my websites are made with that application. CODA’s sites features make it great for me to manage all of my (and my clients) websites!

The built in FTP and file browser allow me to quickly get to any files I need either on my system, or my server.Built is CSS editing tools make it easy to create great and valid designs, quickly and easily.

Clips are great, it allows me to get to all of my most used pieces of code very easily, things like DOCTYPES and meta tags that I frequently use are already stored in the program!

Finally, the books feature! Books are a great way in CODA to learn new techniques like JavaScript, PHP, etc…

I highly recomend this application to anyone using Mac, you can find out more at www.panic.com/coda

In just over three days the iPhone SDK (Software Developer Kit) has had over 100,000 downloads! Could this mean millions of apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch?

Within hours of Apple releasing the SDK there was over 100,000 downloads, causing severe strain on the ADC (Apple Developer Connection) servers, resulting in over 1 hour of down time! Which is highly unusual for Apple to have downtime.

If we could be seeing millions of apps on the iPhone what kind of apps would you want to see? Email Me: websites@the-dream.co.uk

Today YouTube announced the YouTube API allowing developers to seamlessly integrate all the power of YouTube into their own websites and applications.

The YouTube API allows developers to add all the functionality of YouTube into their websites and applications, including but not limited to…

…Login, Upload, Favorites Management, Custom Players, Comments, Flagging etc…

I can see major apps coming out for this platform, maybe with the introduction of the iPhone SDK we could see some iPhone YouTube upload apps!

If you find any more on this I’d like to know, comment or drop me an email at: websites@the-dream.co.uk

A few days ago, at an iPhone special event Apple released the iPhone SDK (Software Development Kit). For the average user reading this, that may mean nothing to you, but, it means alot! It means 3rd party apps on the iPhone!

Some of you may know that I have made some Mac software iWallet and Dream Capture, I plan on bringing iWallet to the iPhone and iPod Touch! But enough about me…

The SDK will make developers able to create amazing apps and games to the iPhone and iPod Touch. These mobile devices are great gaming platforms, with built in accelerometers it’s like a Wii in your pocket!
