Welcome to my Notebook, I'm Danny Turley, a student studying a Masters in Multidisciplinary Design, a Web Designer and iPhone Developer from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Resources for developing iPhone Web Apps
0
I have been thinking of doing a post like this for a long time, and over the last 6 months I have seen a large number of iPhone related posts appearing all over the web, but I didn’t come across a post that collectively brought you a list of reliable resources on, how to develop a Web App. This post brings together around a years worth of bookmarking, and reading that I did in preparation for developing Performa Sports. I am not a fan of posts that have 100s of links so I have condensed the contents down to the resources that I found really useful, and hopefully you will to.
Tutorial #3

Firstly, we began our tutorial session with me showing Nicklas Persson my new personal website and blog. I had developed the new site in HTML 5 and CSS3, so was quite interested to hear what Nicklas thoughts of the design and code of the new site. He was able to give me some pointers to more or less optimise the site further, with changing the images to PNG-24, and adding some whitespace to the overall design of the site.
Tutorial #2

Friday 9th October, I had my 2nd Tutorial with Chris Murphy, and fellow Masters student Mr Brian Burns, as we discussed setting up a new venture together under the name of DubbleTap. We talked about the strategic planning of DubbleTap, and a few potential iPhone Apps that we would like to develop down the line. In particular we agreed to start building our first App based on Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies.
London Field Trip

As part of our Design Thinking module, Joseph, Chris and Debbie organised the whole class for a field trip to London, to visit the V & A Museum, The Design Museum and The Tate Modern. It was a great day out, and it was a new experience for me as it opened my mind to the context of design, and to get me away from the laptop for awhile.
Time for a Change

On 2nd September, Future of Web Design (FOWD) Tour came to the Odyssey in Belfast. Their was a great lineup of speakers with Andy Clarke,Drew McLellan, and some of our very own from Belfast with the Webstandardistas and Lee Munroe. I was particularly looking forward to listening to Andy Clarke, as I had just finished reading his book, CSS Artistry. Andy’s talk felt more like a workshop as he walked us though an example of a site’s redesign he did, and their were two things that I really stood out for. 1) Designing the website in the browser. 2) Using CSS Frameworks.
