The Dream Blog

Well, I haven’t really posted here in a while! I am going to start posting here daily at least! Starting TODAY!

I will start writing the next post in a few minutes…

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

Ahhh, The blogosphere. Many people have a blog, take this one for example. There are millions of blogs and that number is ever growing. Just take Technorati for example, the world leader in online blog sharing. Technorati is an online directory of millions of blogs!

The world of blogs is ever growing, and is a great way for companies to get news to their clients and users quickly and easily. Many major companies like Google, YouTube, MySpace and Facebook already have blogs to inform their users of new features. Apple has a blog called Apple Hot News (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/) to inform their customers of what new things are happening at Apple.

Anyone can have a blog and most of them are free. There are various solutions such as Wordpress and Google’s Blogger. Wordpress is the industry leader in online blogging tools, you can get a free Wordpress blog from www.wordpress.com then comes Blogger. Blogger is a great tool developed by Google for making your very own blog, it’s not as flexible as Wordpress but is easy to use. You can register for a free Blogger account at www.blogger.com thanks for reading!

Woork is a great place to learn everything to do with web development. There you will find tutorials on PHP, AJAX, Design, Graphic, ColdFusion and More…

If you’re ever looking for great tutorials on all these kinds of topics I highly recommend this website. All the tutorials are well commented and easy to follow!

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!
