  • The rise of cloud-based IDEs

    Development tools in the cloud enable programming from anywhere, but they're not suited for all app dev needs

  • Top security threats in 2013: Mobile attacks

    For years, information security experts have predicted a spike in mobile malware. Will 2013 be the year of mobile attacks? And what other security threats are on the horizon?

  • The 19 generations of computer programmers

    If you're searching for a fountain of youth, the easiest way to get that feeling of continual rebirth is to hang around a few tech product launches. Every new rollout comes with the fresh, unabashed feeling that this has never been done before. Ever.

  • HTML5 and the future of the web

    HTML5, the latest version of the HTML web mark-up language, promises to provide businesses with powerful, cross-platform tools for their web and mobile applications, and give developers an alternative to Adobe?s more popular Flash environment.

  • Will the future be written entirely in JavaScript?

    In 1995, when Netscape was looking for a new brand for its browser-embedded scripting language, the company licensed a variation of the "Java" name from Sun Microsystems. JavaScript was born, creating a mistaken impression (that of JavaScript and Java's close relation) you'll still see some newbies trip over to this day. That shared branding deal would never happen now; the executives at Oracle never watched "Sesame Street" as kids, so they don't share.

  • Write once; run anywhere ? the answer to patent wars and BYOD confusion?

    The bewildering pace of change of mobile devices and formats has kept application developers on their toes. It has also forced businesses to limit the range of platforms they can support, and sideline other, perhaps more innovative ones.

  • Performance comparison: The difference between iOS 6 and iOS 5

    We've heard a lot about the 200-plus new features in iOS 6, but how will this upgrade affect performance? To find out, I grabbed a stack of iOS devices from the Macworld Lab and did some before-and-after testing to see whether iOS 6 performance was faster, slower, or the same as under iOS 5.1.1.

  • Windows 8 apps - How anyone can be a developer for new OS

    Microsoft Windows 8 Developer Platform group program manager Ian LeGrow has explained that the Windows 8 app development program was designed for non developers. He outlined the process of creating and submitting an app at an event in The Netherlands.

  • HTML5 is not a panacea: Magic Software

    HTML5 is widely expected to become the technology of choice for future mobile application development, as mobile platforms become increasingly fragmented, but the technology is not a panacea, according to David Akka, UK managing director of Magic Software.

  • Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 Metro app ecosystem set to grow

    With the unveiling of Windows Phone 8, Microsoft completes the circuit it promised last fall at its BUILD developers conference. Even though the company took a meandering, lumbering route, today we're seeing a compelling combined desktop and mobile vision coming from Redmond. Between the Surface tablets shown off earlier this week and Windows Phone 8 -- together with Windows 8 -- Microsoft appears to be setting itself up well for the post-PC, cross-platform world. And if Microsoft truly fulfills its potential to unify platforms, that will give its operating systems a distinct edge and grant users a clear benefit.

The Zimbra AJAX Toolkit (AjaxTK)

Most IT organisations prefer to provide web-based applications to users, because such applications are easier to deploy and manage than traditional desktop applications - as anyone who has had to update tens of thousands of desktops with the latest security patch can attest. Paradoxically, many users are reluctant to use web-based applications, as they tend to be more cumbersome and much less feature-rich than their desktop counterparts.
