Mobile Roadie Seeks Objective-C Enginner
Since we're on the topic of Objective-C, you might be interested in this full-time position in Beverly Hills, California. Mobile Roadie, "an award winning platform that lets anyone create an iPhone or Android App in minutes and manage it via a CMS," needs an Objective-C Engineer to help craft its iPhone and iPad apps.
Mobile Web or Objective-C?
Peter-Paul Koch, in response to my post yesterday:
As readers of this blog know I'm firmly putting my weight on the interoperability side of things. Now you also know why: attention for superior UX needs to go down a tad. We have to reach an attention equilibrium between superior UX and superior reach before we can truly discuss the pros and cons of the two strategies.
I think that the pull of Objective-C that Cameron is feeling right now will be a temporary...

The Mobile Web vs. the Objective-C Web
The central theme of Mobile Web Design was carefully and thoughtfully built on the assumption that the browser will always provide the most consistent, reliable medium for users of web content, and the most open and sustainable platform for developers of the same—all thanks to HTML, CSS, and web standards.
Additionally, I argued that "smart clients" (lightweight apps installed on a device whose content is primarily fed by and stored in the cloud) would and should remain secondary to providing ...
Dribbble: A Designer's Twitter
Dribbble, masterfully crafted by Dan Cederholm and Rich Thornett, went live over the weekend.
I don't recall all the details, but probably sometime in 2008, Dan Cederholm and I had a conversation about an app he was considering building. Fundamentally, the idea was to build a community loosely based on the same concept as the "Screen Grab Confab" posts on my site. (Remember those?) The concept was simple, embracing the brevity and utility of Twitter and adding to it visuals: Share a snippet...
Mobile Web Design (iPad Version)
I'm honored my self-published book was available within the iBookstore the day of iPad's launch. However, the formatting is less than stellar, admittedly. This is because Lulu, who handles the printing and distribution of the book, informed me that I wouldn't need to do anything—they or Apple or both would handle the re-formatting of the book. Whatever engine they funneled my PDF through didn't spit things out as nice as I had hoped.
Alternatively, you can...

Relink: MEX Manifesto Predicts "Multi-Platform" Experiences
With the iPad arriving at many U.S. households tomorrow, it's an appropriate time to revisit something I posted in November 2009:
Each year, MEX, the Mobile User Experience conference, publishes a manifesto to frame the content and discussion for the year's conference. Traditionally these manifestos have focused on mobile devices, operators/carriers, and the like. However, this year's manifesto speaks repeatedly of...
ISO50: How to Shoot Stop Motion From Above
Alex Cornell:
Classify this as a go-to 'bootleg' option if you don't have access to one of those crazy $10,000 rigs that lets you fly above your subject etc. If you are looking for a relatively easy and inexpensive way to complete this type of project, this is one way to do it.
That's quite the rig. Don't miss the music video he linked up that uses the same technique.
