iOS 5 features: Split keyboard for iPad. Laying the iPad flat in landscape orientation makes typing on its touchscreen relatively easy once you get used to it, but what about typing when you're holding it in your hands? If you've got hands like a basketball player, thumb-typing on the iPad in portrait orientation probably hasn't been a problem for you so far. For the rest of us, we were hoping for a better solution. In iOS 5, that solution is here: Apple calls it the split keyboard, and it's pretty awesome.

The old button to show/hide the keyboard has gained a few more options. Tapping and holding the button will bring up options to Undock or Split the keyboard, as shown below. Undocking the keyboard allows you to move it up and away from the bottom of the screen to wherever you want it. There are two other ways to activate/deactivate the split keyboard. The iPad's Split Keyboard Has a Few Hidden Buttons that Make Typing Easier. Thumb Keyboard, a keyboard on Android, does this as well, but you can see the extra buttons. It's not like this is unique to Apple. As Marcelo said, Thumb Keyboard for Android has this feature, not to mention that there are FAR more keyboard options for Android (like Swype). If I'm not mistaken, you're not able to change the iPad keyboard, whereas Android lets you pick whichever keyboard you want.

That attention to not-restricting-me-and-calling-it-revolutionary keeps me coming back. You guys juts can't let someone like Apple huh? Gotta put your robotic two cents in. As if you're going to convince someone to switch sides by being dicks. I can see the argument that I was a dick but I don't see how Marcelo was; he was simply saying that its not something exclusive to Apple. Just like you're tired of seeing anti-Apple posts, others are tired of ANYTHING Apple does being labelled as revolutionary, well-designed, or innovative.

iPads. All the Awesome Things You Can Do with a Long Press on Your iPhone, iPad, or iPad touch. Misconceptions About iOS Multitasking. There is one iOS "tip" that I keep hearing and it is wrong. Worse, I keep hearing it from supposedly authoritative sources. I have even heard it from the lips of Apple "Geniuses" in stores. Here is the advice - and remember it is wrong: All those apps in the multitasking bar on your iOS device are currently active and slowing it down, filling the device's memory or using up your battery. To maximise performance and battery life, you should kill them all manually. Wrong. Let me be as clear as I can be: the iOS multitasking bar does not contain "a list of all running apps". Except in a few cases, which I'll explain, the apps that appear in the multitasking bar are not currently running. Let's get technical: iOS apps have five states of execution.

Active and Inactive are not interesting for this discussion. When you press the home button, the app moves from Active to Background. The first technical caveat is that Suspended apps remain in the device's memory. Background Tasks Summary. How to install an SSH Server in Windows Server 2008. Introduction There are a number of command line options available to configure Window Server 2008 over the network. For example, Windows Powershell, ServerManager.exe, or a telnet server.

However, the tried and true method that has worked so well with just about every type of infrastructure device in use today (including Windows Server 2008, Cisco Routers, Linux servers, and more) is SSH. In this article, learn how to install a SSH Server in Windows Server 2008. What is SSH? SSH is the secure shell, a standard defined in RFC 4251. Keep in mind that SSH is completely interoperable between different platforms. The only possible compatibility issue is that there are two versions of SSH, SSH version 1 and SSH version 2.

While none of the Windows operating systems come with a SSH Server or Client, they are very easy to install. By having a SSH Server on your Windows 2008 Server, you can: What SSH Server options are available for Windows 2008 Server? Figure 2: Running the FreeSSH Application. iTap RDP Manual.

Who Says the iPad Isn't For Programming? Meet Codify. Tablets like the iPad are ideal for certain activities, but programming is not typically among them. Much like writing text, you can write code on the iPad, but it's more cumbersome without an external keyboard and you'll probably need to port your draft over to the desktop for it to be truly useful.

We don't expect to see developers ditch their laptops anytime soon, but a new breed of apps for the iPad help make the device more coding-friendly. One of them is Codify, which went live yesterday. It lets you build simple games and simulations using a combination of hand-coding and touch-based visual programming. Coming from the game development shop TwoLivesLeft, Codify uses the lightweight Lua scripting language to build games that make the most of the iPad and iOS. Thus, creating games that utilize the accelerometer and multitouch gestures on the iPad. The downside? Codify – iPad. AppleZA » Feel The Code – Codea Review. Let me begin by saying that Two Lives Left has done a remarkable job at what is essentially an old idea. Code editors on the iPad are not a new concept. The problem has always been that touch screen devices are ill suited for the kind of keyboard-control required to code on a mobile device.

Codea does not suffer from this as much, since it is based on a LUA-like programming language that makes little use of extended keyboard symbols. The language is both clean and expressive – something I would like to utilize for other platforms. This is unfortunate, since it is a proprietary language developed specifically for use in Codea. Learning the language has not been hard, but it is essentially useless to me the moment I put down my iPad. The editor works well. I am very impressed by the whole experience really, from when I first opened the app, through the coding I did, and right up until I ran my first project.

It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode with a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. Where does Lua come from? Lua is designed, implemented, and maintained by a team at PUC-Rio, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Lua was born and raised in Tecgraf, formerly the Computer Graphics Technology Group of PUC-Rio. What's in a name?

Cargo-Bot Is The World’s First Game To Be Made Entirely On An iPad. Meet Cargo-Bot, the first game to ever be made on the Apple tablet it was created for. App studio Two Lives Left has launched its first App Store game for the iPad, called Cargo-Bot.

What makes this release different from the thousands of other iPad games that came before it? Well, Cargo-Bot is the world’s first game to be coded entirely on an iPad itself. Using a coding app for the iPad they created prior to Cargo-Bot, the guys from Two Lives Left designed and coded their new game on the iPad’s 9.7-inch screen. Codea is a $10 iPad app that allows you to code apps using the Lua programming language and run them in the Codea environment. After several months of working on the design, the developers from Two Lives Left used an unreleased Xcode template tool to get the app out of Codea and into the App Store.

The Cargo-Bot music engine and score was made with Codea’s sound API on the iPad. For something that was made on a tablet, Cargo-Bot looks impressive. Related. Gusto // Web Development Environment.
