I have an iPhone app out that stores data on the device. I want to create an app with user accounts like Instagram, Path, Foursquare, Gowalla, etc.
Thus, I think I will need to create an iPhone client app, a MYSQL database, and PHP/Ruby on Rails to connect the two, along with the RestKit Framework for Objective-C.
Are there any good books you guys would recommended for the backend stuff? I am comfortable with the iOS part, but have no history with the backend/webserver side.
For learning PHP (I'm assuming you're new to PHP?) I recommend PHP Solutions by David Powers. For Ruby on Rails, check out Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial by Michael Hartl.
Take the Rails for Zombies online tutorial.
Nothing to setup, just learn and code from your browser.
If you really want to study a new technology, I highly recommend buying a book, and not just try to find some good tutorials online. It will be money well spent esp. if you value your time!
For Rails 3, one of the best books is Agile Web Development with Rails (4th edition) - you can buy a PDF at pragprog.com for $24, and it's more than enough to get you started quickly.

I need to write my app to 3 languages. I need to have a web version, iOS, and Android version for my app. I wrote an Android version already. I'm looking for a way that I can run apk file on a simulator written in PHP or any way that I can write my code to one language and can run it on Android, iOS and the web.
I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for, but I used IonicFramework a while ago, and it's excellent. It allows to export to Android and iOS, but I'm unsure about the web.
I'd recommend taking a look at it.
I also don't recommend using the same code for both Web and Mobile applications.
Simply. You can't run an APK with php. However, if you developed that app, it comes with a debugger/emulator.
What are you trying to do here? Don't make life harder than it already is.
And you won't be able to compile things in another language. That's c#, and objective c in which you'll need to learn. Have fun
You are asking about cross-platform app building approach for all three platforms (i.e Android, IOS and Windows) there are several SDK or IDEs like Phone Gap, Xamarin, which allow you to write your code logic once and it will be built for all the three platforms mentioned above.
To me, your procedure is not very clear. There are very nice projects like Unity which allows you for multiplatform development, i.e. build once, deploy everywhere [from their website].
It really depends on the specification of your project whether you can effectively use such frameworks/tools.

I made a simple Website which I want now to display also on the mobil devices.
So I want to make a App which only opens a browser without displaying the tab bar and the url bar.
I want to do this for android and for iOS.
Does anyone knows good tools for that or can I programm this also with Html as a Web app??
I don't know a lot about IOS, but in Android you can create shortcuts of website pages in your homescreen and it might work.
About what you are asking, you can both use some cross-platform tool, like Cordova. (I posted the most famous, I'm not here to explain which cross-platform tool is the best one, there are enough questions for this). Btw with Cordova you can build your own application using html, css, js.
Now, if you want something native, simply check a tutorial on how to create a webapplication(android official guide).
It's pretty simple and doesn't require that much skill.
Note#1: I think I have to tell you an economic note: publishing is not free, for example IOS costs around 100$/year. So consider if you really want do build an app only displaying a website. It's a more common and (imho) a best way of doing things, building a complete application with all buy, ... tools. Usually people dislike webapp if they can see the exact same thing with the mobile browser.
Usually apps gives something more than a simple website.
Note#2: I don't know if Apple allows you to build an app showing only a website, you should inform
Note#3: you should move your question, this community is for code, if you want some hint look for google or other platforms, there are a lot of "how to" on the net :)

What tools, programming languages and internet technologies may possibly have been used in the development of stackoverflow.com, airbnb.com, google+, facebook.com etc?
I, actually, want to give users of my apps similar smooth, aesthetically sound and reliable experience.
How good a website is, does not depend on the tools it was made with. It simply doesn't matter if you're using Netbeans or Eclipse, SVN or git, GIMP or Photoshop. What does matter is, that you know your tools and can work with them.
But first you need a really good idea, which is the hardest step.
Your tools are rather irrelevant – what you know is what you know. Some languages may make the process easier, but most are at least sufficient to do the trick if you know how.
The aesthetics depend on countless hours of design and revision work. The reliability depends more on hardware and operating system stability than your software. Using good design techniques and workflows, and being able to meet project deadlines efficiently with a minimum of defects is far more important.
To answer what could be used:
Apache
PHP
HTML
JavaScript/AJAX
Rails
SQL
Perl
etc. etc. etc.
The list is endless. The more you know, the more you see and try, the better feel you'll have for developing these large projects.
I have a social networking site that I developed as a project. Originally in XHTML and PHP with no javascript, it's grown to incorporate HTML5, AJAX, Flex, and other tools just as the technology and the features have grown. It's nice to aim for the pinnacle – the most popular site – and try to duplicate it; sadly, by the time you catch up, they've left you in the dust. Start small and grow into the development and do it your way.

Im too busy creating a website... but was wondering what part as a web developer i wud have to do? to make it easier for another developer to create a smart phone app for me. I dnt want to get my hands dirty with smart phone app development. Are there people out there who can code an app for me at a fair price? when logged in the site uses alot of jquery... so on old phones dnt work. please let me know as im naive at this. thanx
ps: the website is done in php/mysql on centos. http://www.veepiz.com
It is actually really easy.
Try http://www.phonegap.com
It enables you to use your web development skills on smartphone development.
And best of all, if you have a mobile version of your page, then you can use the same template in your apps.
But the best part is: Cross-platform.
Ir runs on any major smartphone platform from iOs to WebOs.
Perhaps you should read http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/index.html.
Or have your Android developer to read this (when you find one) ;)

I'm interested in this field,but I'm only familiar with PHP so far.
If not,can you recommend a tiny but not so bad project that's easy enough to learn?
Take a look at Program O: https://program-o.com/
This is the description of the project:
Program O is an AIML engine written in PHP with MySQL. Here you can
find support, help, bot add-ons, a brilliant and friendly community, and of course the Program O download files.
And this mini tutorial for creating Neural Networks in PHP:
http://www.developer.com/lang/php/creating-neural-networks-in-php.html
This site could be interesting for you as well:
http://ai-php.com/
I notice many people dislike the idea of working with AI with PHP, but since most of the websites are in PHP, it will be a very interesting start to bring AI to them.
PHP Artificial intelligence links.
This is a github project and the project is beautifully active. download and use. But documentation is not complete
php-ai/php-ml
PHP-ML - Machine Learning library for PHP
There are two projects based on the ALICE project. They are Program E which isn't really developed any longer, and Program O which is. You can find them both on SourceForge
Program O https://github.com/Program-O/Program-O
Program E https://sourceforge.net/projects/programe/
Update: Program O is now on GitHub and is still developed. Program E is still orphaned and still located at sourceforge.
PHP is mostly a web-based technology as far as I know.
AI work is typically done in other languages (e.g., Lisp). But that doesn't mean you can't port the ideas to something else like PHP.
But Google found this - first hit on "PHP artificial intelligence".
There are some other samples like spam detection (bayesian networks) or OCR (using newral networks). And i'm sorry guys, php is used also in a server side scripting language and also can be converted into desktop GUI applications with PHP-GTK.
Check this php samples: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/class/103.html
I'm also searching in this topic, but I'm looking for some kind of simple implementation of rule=based programming in PHP and I just found this http://www.swindle.net/php-rules/ in Google.
Php probably won't be the best technology for AI but there's a library for neural networks which I used to implement on a website. http://ann.thwien.de/index.php/Main_Page It's quite simple but maybe it will help you.
