Adobe has finally called it quits on its attempts to get Adobe Flash on the Apple iphone and the new Apple ipad. Many developers have been hoping that Adobe would get it together to get Adobe Flash on the Apple iphone. But we have learned over the years that Adobe CEO Steve Jobs has his reasons for not allowing Adobe Flash on the iphone. There are many reasons why Adobe has made this decision and one might be that Apple changed its Developer Program License Agreement. This now states all Apple applications must be originally written in Objective-C , C
, or C++
. So what does this mean for Adobe Flash on mobile web sites? Well Adobe is still working on Adobe Flash for other platforms such Google Android. But Apple is a large portion of the mobile market share and developers can not ignore this fact. Apple CEO Steve Jobs wants the web to switch from Adobe Flash for media on the web and to HTML 5. This fight between Apple and Adobe has not ended and might very well escalate. Adobe has been hinting at legal action.

Adobe quits attempts for flash on the iphone and ipad
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010Google Chrome getting rid of http://
Monday, April 19th, 2010Google has decided to get rid of http:// in the address bar of the developer version of Google Chrome.
Not many of use who use the web these days type http:// before typing in the URL and Google has decided that they don’t need to display the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http) in the address bar no longer. Google has made this official because they made the move without informing developers and some developers reported it as a bug. Is this a sign of whats to come for browsers? I see that this could cause a problem for users that copy the URL and paste it as a link or in another browser. I guess this is why Google has only made this change for the developer version.
History of Hello world!
Sunday, April 18th, 2010The first program you learn in any computer program language is “Hello World”. The “Hello World” program outputs a text message “Hello World”. So of course my first entry in this blog is the history of Hello World.
1 2 3 4 | <?php // Hello World in php echo="Hello World"; ?> |
1 2 3 4 | <script type="text/javascript"> // Hello World in javascript document.write('Hello World'); </script> |
Hello World program is used because it is the simplest in any computer program language and it is very easy for anyone to understand. Hello World was first used by Brian Kernighan, 1972 in his “A Tutorial Introduction to the Language B”
Language B was written at “Bell Labs” and was replaced by the language C. Hello World program was also featured in the book C Programming Language (2nd Edition). Language C has been the influence for many of the computer programing languages that are used today.
Since “Hello World” was written by Brian Kernighan web design and development students across the world have been writing computer programs in html, PHP, Java, JavaScript, C#, and many others displaying “Hello World”.
