Ooooo oooo, can I go!? Pretty please?!

AlphaBetty’s ABC’s is a wonderfully illustrated educational App. Not only does this App have great little illustrations, it also has a “how to draw” section on the site which includes free instructional videos. You can check it out at the itunes store, or on the Milkshake Jake site.

There has been so much debate over Flash. Is it here to stay or will it be replaced? With the constant back and forth between Apple and Adobe, this is hard to say. While there are things I like about flash, I think it could use improvement. Mobile devices are becoming increasingly important in the market today. I see some competition coming out for flash, and that can’t be a bad thing. Soon you’ll be able to export CSS3 directly from flash so I can’t see it going away completely. Sencha is another option though – although I don’t see a lot of interactivity here, just animation. There are so many new things you can do just with HTML5 and CSS3. It will be interesting to see which programs come out on top. I’ve just downloaded Sencha Touch and Sencha Animator. I’ll be testing these out to see how they compare but they’re free to use and open source, so you can also download them and see for yourself.

This is the number one tool that I would recommend for anyone who wants to really learn how to code. I teach quite a bit of Dreamweaver and also use Coda in my classes, but this plugin is so handy for everyone, whether you are a beginner or a more advanced developer. It’s free and easy to install onto Firefox.

You can use firebug to take a look at how the CSS effects the different divs and layout elements on the page. Turning things on and off in firebug in the CSS panel (or HTML) will show you how each line of code will affect the layout, widths, heights, fonts and colours of the page design.

If you are a more advanced developer and are trying to troubleshoot a problem in your code this is very helpful to tweak the design of your site as it will also give you the exact line of code that you need to edit, as well as the document file name. That’s a huge time saver and instead of hunting for where your h3 tag is defined in your CSS sheet you can go directly to that line of code and edit your style quickly and efficiently.
