It’s been a learning curve but I am finally getting the hang Cocoa Touch coding, coming from a HTML/CSS background it’s been rather steep. But I must say I do like the new improvements to iPhone 3.0, not sure what I can say and can’t say regarding it as I had to agree to a NDA (non-disclosure agreement). I mean, who ever reads these things, when is the last time you read a software agreement when installing your last application?

Please note I am currentley unavailble for iPhone work.

.Net magazine has embarked on a mission to pull the lifeline from Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, it’s been a thorn in the side of web developers and designers for years. There have been many sites attempting the same goal, but this is different, this is a large magazine in the UK making an active stand to improve the quality and future of internet development in the UK. All I ask is read the articles and give it due consideration, and if you have a blog post the logo and a link to the articles, spread the word.

Discover the Mission

The premise is simple: Internet Explorer 6 is antiquated, doesn’t support key web standards, and should be phased out. This isn’t about being anti-Microsoft, it’s about Microsoft’s lack of development in the browser market. With IE7/8 not available for Windows 2000, IE6 accounts for up to 20% of web usage, primarily via business users. Clients pressure designers to ‘force’ sites to work in IE6, and designers, not wanting to lose business, comply, using hacks and workarounds. This wastes time and money. Microsoft needs to fix this, designers need to unite, and we all need to move on.

In our article, ‘Calling time on IE6’, we ask designers and developers if it’s finally time to take IE6 behind the shed and shoot it. Major names in the web industry debate our mission, talking about the pros and cons behind dumping IE6. How feasible is it to shun the browser entirely? What can you do to minimise the impact IE6 has on you and your clients (and increasingly tight budgets)? And what can and should Microsoft do to help us all move the web and web standards on?
