Can i successfully do iphone/ipad web development (not native apps) on Windows and without having iphone/ipad device?
Work Like PSD to iphone optimized XHTML, CSS layout.
Interested to learn and make iphone/ipad optimized websites? Any tips?
How much it will be different from desktop? What different other than small screen?
yes for an ipohne emulator... try MobiOne. It's a good application to test the pages in iphone like environment.
From experience I will say the only true way to test for the iPad is to test on an iPad. I have been developing a site in html5 specifically for an iPad and we initially used the iPhone to test. The drag function we had implemented with jQuery had worked almost perfectly on the iPhone but after the client had tested on the iPad they came back to us and said the function did not work period and they were correct.
I guess this could change depending on what type of development you are doing. From experience I would say either A. Make some trips to the apple store B. Make friends with iPad owner C. Buy and iPad
I don’t think you can really do iPhone/iPad development successfully without an iPhone/iPad at all, whether on Windows, Mac or Commodore 64.
If you’re serious about iPhone/iPad development, how could you not want to try out your software yourself on the device it’s going to run on?
if your developing a web app then i think you can use this: http://ipadpeek.com/
