Hello. I wanted to know if it's possible to WRITE and COMPILE/TEST iPhone apps on a linux platform. I've been on google for a couple of days now, and people either talk about "Mac OS X only!", or "Develop jailbroke apps on Linux". My dev partner has a mac and has a certificate to sign the apps. I don't have a mac, but I will be doing mo...
Hi guys, My company is planning to develop iphone-native-applications. I'm good with Linux. The questions are: Do we need a MAC machine to develop iphone-app?

Actually I am interested in hearing others experience on this subject: Time wasters. By saying that, I mean the things that are a trap to fall into during the development phase and let us developers lose a ridiculous amount of time - which ultimately does not deliver any useful output in the end. Here are some examples of things I have...

We are moving over to using Akamai for all of our large static content so far just flash but are planning to include images, css, and js files in that list. I am curious what methods others employ to switch all of their local/relative paths to using an external hosting company. Also, how they continue to develop their site so that deve...
I downloaded the iPhone SDK from the iPhone dev center a couple of days ago and installed it yesterday. I'm following the Stanford iPhone development tutorials available on iTunes U. On Assignment 1B, the first instruction is to open a new Foundation Project template. The screenshot shows several sections in Xcode which my version doesn'...
Hi, I've been shifted around roles a lot, and have been put in a support role which seems to deal out a lot of rubbish due to poor business management. Anyway, my line manager says that he's not sure he would recommend me for a developer role as they regard support as a poor technical role. What I resent is the fact that not all the inf...
Where can virtualization techniques be applied by an application developer? How can virtualization be applied on a day-to-day basis?

What are the recommen...

I noticed in vista mnesweeper, when its gameover, it iterates through the game in a circular manner to uncover the mines. Does anyone know what this algorithm is called? Thank...
I have heard the term unit testing many times and I am wondering how this is related to the web development field. I program with PHP, Javascript, Actionscript 3.0 and I am starting to get into C++, C# and JAVA. If anyone has any good resources that I can take a look into as I believe this is a good method to follow for "test driven" dev...

Hi, I want to learn Java and Linux. Java itself (as a language) is not a big deal for me as I know pretty well .NET and C# (so the paradigm is similar). The biggest issue for me would probably be doing Java on Linux platform (I have never used Linux before). I think Ubuntu should be good for me (a friend of mine recommended it). ...

My co-workers and I are relatively need to the stream idea with Clearcase UCM. Currently management has created streams for each functional software package, each of which has defined interfaces and lives within a layered architecture. Developers create child streams depending on the package they are working in, and attempt to develop th...
If I have set up a business as a sole proprietorship, registered as doing software development, can I "sell" my services(much like a mechanic) where I bill the client a total plus tax, as opposed to being a contractor/consultant and them paying me an hourly wage? I do all work at my own office, but sometimes that requires remotely main...
