Should you maintain control over your client’s CMS?

An issue that I have come across more and more frequently recently involves content management solutions and broken websites. By broken I mean websites that are visually not as they should be. This is sometimes due to the limitations of the CMS, but more often due to the client’s lack of knowledge with regards to web programming. Now it isn’t fair to blame the client, for not everyone can be expected to be web-savvy, in fact if that was the case I’d be in more stiffer competition for employment.

File upload in Opera Mini and Safari on iPhone

I have been spending some of my time lately working on a application that will be partly used on mobile devices. The intention is to capture a photo and upload it from a mobile device. We are using Flickr to upload and store the photos through their APIs and to also retrieve them for a different part of the application.

Early on in the development of the application, to test the functionality we simply used the web browsers on our desktop computers, and we then tested the application in mobile devices once we were confident it met the requirements. We assumed that the web browsers on mobile devices wouldn’t be too much different from those found on desktop computer. We were wrong.

3G iPhone, so what?

As the dust begins to settle after Monday’s announcement of the 3G iPhone at the WWDC, it’s time to take stock and actually examine the 3G iPhone for all its worth without getting caught up in the Apple zeitgeist.

When the original iPhone launched I wasn’t too bothered about being first in line to purchase one, in fact I wasn’t that bothered about the iPhone at all. It didn’t do anything that really impressed me. It didn’t do anything that you couldn’t already do with most of the mobile phones you can already get over here in Europe.
