WIPJam Cross Platform Tools - Dec 2013Mark Arteaga
You typically need to develop for more than one type of mobile platform – so how does that work? What is the difference between a native app and web app? This session will uncover the decisions and tools available to make your application available on the iOS, Android, Windows Phone/Windows 8 and other platforms of importance to your end users to maximize your reach and minimize your maintenance effort.
Greane Tree Technology CTO Joseph Payette gave our latest “Lunch & Learn” presentation. With the number of tools and frameworks for cross platform mobile application development increasing every year, it can be a challenge to determine the best fit technology for a mobile project. All of these tools and frameworks have their advantages and disadvantages, as they leverage different mechanisms for abstracting differences across mobile devices in an effort to provide a single platform for rapid application development. To bring order to the various options at hand, Joe reviewed mobile application architectures (native, hybrid, and HTML5), and explored and compared a few hybrid tools and frameworks, namely PhoneGap (www.phonegap.com), Appcelerator (www.appcelerator.com), and MoSync (www.mosync.com). Joe’s mobile application development presentation includes sample code for these three tools and frameworks.
The Lunch and Learn series is a regular event where we discuss topics of interest to our projects and clients. Last month, Chad Calhoun explored Git Interactive Techniques.
The Multiplatform App Architecture offers the possibility to create mobile applications for multiple mobile platforms and at the same time offer the flexibility to use all native functionality of the mobile operating systems to realize an optimal user experience. Combined with a powerful development environment and a comprehensive programming language it offers an excellent way to develop and maintain rich mobile applications.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Choose a mobile strategy depending on the budget, project timeframe, target audience & app functionality.

Once the app is installed, it interacts with the underlying operating system through proprietary API calls that the OS exposes. These are divided into 2 categories – Low-level API’s & high level API’s. Through low-level API calls, the app can interact directly with the touchscreen or keyboard, render graphics, connect to networks, process audio received from the microphone, receive images & video from the camera, access the GPS etc.
Higher level services include processes like browsing the web, managing calendar, contacts, photo album, the ability to send and receive phone calls etc.
<number>
Developers can use this API to build the application including UI, data persistence & business logic. The code is then processed by the compiler and transformed into platform-specific native apps.
High performance as the app is running natively on the device & improved user experience as the app has full native access to all device-specific capabilities such as integrated camera, sensors etc.
<number>
VM’s :easier to extend when new features are added to the device and need to be supported by the API
Runtime interpretation latency introduced when the VM is translating data and instructions to & from the underlying host platform.
<number>
Another increasingly popular approach is to develop mobile web apps which run on the user’s mobile browser. These are different from mobile-optimized websites which detect when they are being accessed from a mobile device and serve HTML pages that have been designed to provide a comfortable touch experience on a small screen size.
This involves using standard web technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript to build the application & make it look and behave like a native app. It is possible due to the advanced capabilities of HTML 5 including embedded SQL databases, local storage (application cache to reduce page startup time and enable offline features), animations, canvas (avoid transferring images), websockets, video playback, geolocation services etc. Mobile Google Search uses the HTML5 Geolocation API to show location-aware results. Google Maps for Mobile and Mobile Gmail both use the canvas tag to avoid transferring images.
This approach may be appealing for many applications such as ebooks, mobile banking, social interaction & email. However it may not be suited for highly interactive, CPU-intensive, visually rich applications like games, augmented reality browsers & videoconferencing.
<number>
The bridge enables the hybrid app to take full advantage of all the features that modern devices have to offer.
App developers can choose to code their own bridge or use ones provided by many of the cross-platform development frameworks such as PhoneGap.
<number>
Major frameworks, including Appcelerator and PhoneGap offer easy access to plugins and modules that can easily plug into other services or tools.
Do not have to invest in a team or developer specific to that ecosystem.
In addition to plugins and modules for specific functions, most frameworks also have the option to directly integrate with cloud services, including Salesforce.com, AWS, Box.net and others.
Deploying and compiling apps is much faster in a cross-platform scenario. This is especially true with many of the new cloud-based build tools that various frameworks are starting to push out.
If Google, Apple or Microsoft adds a new feature, the framework you are using will need to be updated to support those new additions.
Most frameworks want users to use their own development tools and suites, and that can mean that a developer has to forgo his or her own IDE preferences and use something else.
Most of the cross-platform frameworks build using their own subsets of JavaScript, which means that if you want to switch to another platform, that code you wrote before is likely not going to be reusable without a lot of work.
<number>
The framework provides a templating language similar to Ruby on Rails views which makes it quick & easy to develop portable UI’s without compromising quality.
To provide animations on Webkit-based mobile browsers, it extends JQTouch, a mobile JavaScript micro library that provides native look-and-feel to mobile web apps
ORM component called Rhom which enables database independent data persistence using highly scalable key value pair noSQL storage systems.
<number>
allowing you to efficiently separate the content from the presentation and easily make changes to a view (even simply by updating the data structure).
Rhodes gives you the starting points for a handful of different views and you can tweak the templates to fit your needs simply by updating the HTML.
Rhodes can be paired with RhoSync for back-end integration. Essentially, RhoSync handles all the communication with a remote data server and taking that data and downloading it to the device. All your application needs to be concerned with is communicating with local data. This takes care of making sure your app works the same online as it does offline–a major hurdle for many applications.
<number>
Best suited when you have an existing web application you wanna port to a mobile environment
<number>
Drop libraries in the right place and begin coding with a familiar web stack to produce a functional application quickly.
Imposes little structure and/or guidelines on how to best develop applications with it. This means users are free to architect their solutions in a
way that best suits their needs. This can be a blessing for experienced developers but can create confusion and promote bad designs within novice users.
PhoneGap does nothing to emulate the native device UI. Left the users with
the task of styling the markup to mimic a native app. Fortunately there are loads of open source
libraries specialized in exactly this. Therefore it’s not unusual to see Phonegap being used in
conjunction with other libraries like XUI and Sencha Touch.
PhoneGap API runs on a very extensible plugin architecture. If PhoneGap doesn’t already support the feature you need, you can easily write a plugin yourself. To extend PhoneGap through plugins one must know how to program in the native language of each platform.
The burden for that increases when there is a need to use multiple PhoneGap plugins because you need to search and update different files on each platform.
