hmm. can't find it on Roger's site... I'm going to this link, maybe there's another site these days: http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/forum/other-download-libraries_forums_cat1.html If you like JQuery you should also look at Sencha it has some really slick and "Fast" javascript libraries that make the app just scream on webkit browsers. (android/ios). iOS development has gone well for me... I ended up working on a sink or swim project here for our Control Assembly area... Currently we "are" printing over 300 pages of documents to get the line going per machine we build. The workstations that we have deployed the app at are now able to barcode their production orders and get to their materials list. Once they invoke the flag to deliver the PDFs via our ERP system we'll be able to deliver them from the iPad as well. in our development systems we were able to test this workflow and it was stable and fast. for a jailbroken device this is not true, you can actually just go that route if your friends are cool with jailbreaking. but for a standard iOS device the path to get an app onto a device is to provision the device for development. Thus the $99/fee, for adhoc and Enterprise apps that means that you need to re-sign the app once a year. if the app gets deployed to the appstore, you don't loose out if you decide to cancel your membership, generally apps in the app store get killed if you use a private api and apple finds out, or B, you the developer removes it. that is a feature I like about Android development is the ability to generate apk's and just give them away to anyone forever... I still haven't crossed that bridge to build an Android product... though I have a few co-workers requesting Android Apps -Francisco http://bit.ly/sqlthis | Tsql and More... <http://db.tt/JeXURAx> On Fri, May 25, 2012 at 8:27 AM, David McAfee <davidmcafee at gmail.com> wrote: > Think of it like a dynamic survey. > > I think Duane Hookem or Darryl Johnson had a sample db on Rogers site (in > Access). > > I'm currently playing with JQuery Mobile and I am thinking of implementing > Phone Gap as a cross platform common language. > > How are things with iOS? > > I had to friends ask me to write apps for them. > I was turned off when I found out that in order to place an app on my or > (their devices), I have to pay the $99 annual developer fee. > If that fee isn't kept current (I get by a bus or something) then the app > dies on their phones o3 or 90 days later?!?!?! > > I could see if this was a market app, but something that I just threw > together for a friend gets killed too? > > Do you know if this is true?
