Rodeo—Exciting new developer software
July 20, 2010There’s an interesting new software being born, today, this week, right now, name of Rodeo. It is the brand new way you to can create web apps for the iPad.
It’s quite unlike anything else out there. It lets you develop X-code client apps that can be used on the iPhone and iPad, or in Safari or Chrome. These hybrid apps and browser items can be much more powerful that old-fashioned html pages, because they feature HTML5, the new standard.
But because Rodeo software uses a powerful coding language, they are much easier to write than raw HTML5.
In addition, because Rodeo was developed by people comfortable with the hypertalk family of software, Rodeo, written in Objective C, plays well with RunRev, Metacard, and even Hypercard scripts.
Created by the experienced software team Daniels, Mara, and Reichelt, this is developing so fast that you need to go to the actual website to keep up.
This intro really can’t do it justice. You need to go see for yourself.
So saddle up and join the Rodeo.
How to Bypass Flash
June 23, 2010If you get tired of all the blooming, buzzing Flash items popping up on web pages and spinning your cooling fans whenever you browse in Safari, the free donationware Clicktoflash will help you get rid of them–until you decide you want to see them.
In addition, it prevents Flash-related crashes.
Best of all, it lets you easily download Flash videos, from YouTube, for example, as high resolution Quicktime movies.
Finally, you can still see Flash whenever you want, by clicking on the page, or by whitelisting whole websites so that Flash still works where you want it to.
You need the latest version of Safari, and will probably want to fine-tune the Clicktoflash settings once you get it installed in Safari. If you ever want to remove it entirely, it’s just as easy–click to remove.
