Forecasts for Tablets and Smartphones -- End of an Era?

Submitted by Mardster on June 9, 2011 - 8:48am

Read an article today comparing current placement and project growth rates in the tablet and smartphone markets. Apple and Google look like the major competitors over the next few years, with Google's Android OS taking on the iPad and iPhone.

Look at the expected volumes of devices and also of the apps available.

The article does remind at the end of the decline of the PC market.

Mobile Development Tutorial 0: iPhone Development Lecture Series - Getting Started...

Mobile Development: How to get started before the lecture series...

Intro to the Mobile Development Series...
First off - welcome to the weird world of mobile development! Developing natively on mobile devices is not for the faint of heart - and I must congratulate you for making the first steps to doing so! You are now on your way to becoming iPhone development savvy. Much like kung-fu the path to mastering development on the iPhone will be long and hard, but with a bit of elbow grease, a pitcher of European triple-brewed espresso beverages (I am not talking lattes here) and some determination you will be able to join the ranks of the elite iPhone Developers in no time. Just remember me if you create an App that's worth millions!

In the last couple decades, mobile phones (i.e. iPhone, Palm Pre, Android-based, etc.) and Internet enabled handheld devices in North America, Europe and Asia has made many leaps and bounds. Many universities have begun to embrace this new mobile venue by adapting their e-services to fit the handheld mobile form factor of these devices. This presentation aims to offer insight into the creativity and ingenuity that has been used at other academic institutions, and will provide simple recipes for tweaking and enhancing our new and existing e-services to make them mobile-friendly.

Interested in an iPhone and Mobile Device Development Lecture Series?

Submitted by Michael Moncada on June 12, 2009 - 11:01am

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to poll the population here at U of T to see how many people would be interested in a lecture series for developing Mobile Apps for the iPhone (with some possible talks on other platforms such as Android if there is enough interest there). If there is enough interest to drive this I would like to propose the creation of an evening lecture series for those interested (through the TechKnowfile Venue), where we could potentially record it and post it up for everyone. I have been hearing questions about iPhone development from various sources around U of T and I see this as an opportunity to potentially promote some learning and information on the subject. Let me know what you think!
