[Infographic] Mapping the Tools in the Mobile Development Ecosystem. The mobile development ecosystem is a large, complicated space.

There are innovative startups making tools for native and mobile Web apps along with large enterprise-grade companies that offer solutions from cloud support to frameworks and developer environments. For a mobile developer, it can be confusing to know where to turn and what to use to make the best app possible. Mobile "backend-as-a-service" startup Kinvey created a map for ReadWriteMobile to help developers understand the ecosystem. Kinvey brackets the mobile ecosystem between two primary pillars: the service providers and the original equipment manufacturers. In between lies the meat of the environment from the "as-a-service" providers (platform, infrastructure and backend) to mobile software developer kit and application programming interface sources.

The park covers 6.1 million acres, a land area greater than Vermont, or than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier, and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks combined. The Adirondacks are also home to thousands of black bears, deadly snakes, and countless other dangers. Abandoned in the middle of the park with no survival experience and very few supplies, the entire journey was documented and filmed. 10+ Mobile Application Development Courses & Tools.

What every Programmer should know about the memory system. “Web” vs. “Native” Back in Fe­bru­ary of 2010 I in­ter­viewed for a new job.

It was the typ­i­cal Google hiring-process siege; I talked to six or eight peo­ple over the course of the day. At least half of them asked me “Native vs Web apps on mo­bile; what do you think?” I think about it all the time. And I talk to de­vel­op­ers all the time so I think I know what they’re think­ing. Thus this piece, which goes on and on and on but that’s OK, blog­ging is for long-form pieces! Dis­clo­sures · I’m a Web guy. The Web has pro­vid­ed me with a steady pay­check since 1994, and there’ve been a cou­ple of ex­tra pay­days along the way. What Do You Mean by “Web”? I’m not go­ing to ar­gue in this space about REST or URIs or HTTP be­cause I don’t see any­one want­ing to take the oth­er side. I’m pedan­tic enough to be a lit­tle ir­ri­tat­ed by the com­mon “Web vs Native” us­age. Di­gres­sion: Games · We’ve all seen the snazzy de­mos of this game or that be­ing made to run in a bleeding-edge browser.

Weekly Edition for April 28, 2011. ABS: The guts of Android By Jake EdgeApril 27, 2011 In a fairly fast-paced talk, Karim Yaghmour presented the internals of Android systems at the Android Builders Summit.

The talk focused on things like Android's application development model, the parts and pieces that make it up, and its startup sequence. It gave an overall picture of a system that is both familiar and not. Yaghmour is the lead author of Building Embedded Linux Systems and has done Linux kernel development along the way. Android internals With a slide showing Kirk and Spock from the original Star Trek, and the line "it's Linux, Jim, but not as we know it", Yaghmour pointed out that Android is a "strange beast" that "looks weird, feels weird, and acts weird". For example, there is no "entry point" to an application for Android. Android also uses messages called "intents" that are sent between components.
