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 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 :)

This question might have been asked a number of times earlier like here. However, this did not answer my question(s). So I am posting again.
I have developed an Web Management Software. It is built using PHP/HTML/MySQL. The tool has a number of features like user management, signup forms, report generation etc. Now, I intend to get an Android App developed. I am not an expert at Android Development.
I am planning to build a native Android APP and not use ´webview´ library.
How do I get the Android App developed ? Do I need to make any changes on the server side for this ?
Do I need to build API and the Android APP would make httprequest ?
I am not keen on the solution proposed by Phonegap
Are there any other approaches which I might have to consider ?
I am sure, this could be very basic question for experts working in Android. It is just that, I have never seriously worked with Android. Sorry for my ignorance, though.
If you want to develop a APP for Android you have to write it in Java if you not want to use Phonegap.
You can use the Android SDK and the Eclipse version. (There is a Eclipse version made for that)
But if you want to build your Project you already developed you can use Cordova, it's a similar Project to Phonegap, but free to use.
Then you have to run a Service on your Server for all Funktions.
You can use Javascript there to connect.

I have inherited a little database driven PHP site.
I am a C# programmer, and have almost zero experience with PHP, although I have great experience with databases and some html / web design.
My boss tasked me to create a staging and production environment for this php site.
Environment: Win 7, 64 bit. Sql Server 2012. PHP 5.2. There are a couple hundred users. We only the need the site to work with explorer. Dreamweaver latest version. There would not be more than 1 user working on the project at a time.
Which code repository should we go with?
For now we are not going with a code repository yet. Besides having separate folders for staging and production, would we need any other folder structure?
I also would be very grateful for your help in formulating the right questions to ensure that I have everything that a "professional" developer needs to set this up.
Maybe.. You're looking for http://www.xampp.org, its an all in one solution :)
You can however customize the environment once installed.
Even the PRO's use it :) because it makes it all very simple and quick :)

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'm in need of some sort of software based way to reserve the use of a couple machines. There about 5 different machines used in a lab that are shared among everybody but people need to schedule the days/times they want to use these machines. This is currently handled with pen/paper and you need to physically walk place to place to see when they're free and available for sign-up. I've been tasked with moving this system to a private webserver that currently runs an installation of mediawiki.
I've looked for extensions for mediawiki itself, but I couldn't find any kind of scheduler/planner/queue system that is premade that allows users to reserve a time frame/day to use machine. Additionally it would be nice if anyone could sign up but users were restricted from removing others from the queue(which is why a traditional calendar software with the honor system wouldn't exactly work). The solution doesn't need to be embedded within medawiki itself but must be able to be hosted off of a webserver, do you guys have any suggestions on how I can approach this? The best I can come up with is to buckle down and write my own php/django based site to handle this(I'm not very experienced with either). While I do have time I want to make sure there isn't something available I missed before dedicating my time to writing a custom application, and would appreciate anyone who could help.
While I've not used this:
