“Apple apparently thinks you can have the benefits of the Internet while at the same time controlling what programs can be run and what parts of the stack can be accessed and what developers can say to each other.”

IT Conversations Interview »
My recent discussion with the IT Conversations crew about jQTouch, WebKit, and mobile development.
I’ve just released the new version of jQTouch, my open source jQuery plugin for mobile development. jQTouch allows developers to create powerful, native-looking apps on the iPhone with just HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
The beta has new themes and demos, support for new events, including swipe detection and page transitions, and new options for fullscreen mode, including icon and startup screen. jQTouch is written in HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery. Check out the demo video to see it in action!
My new blog, WebKitBits, is now live with tips, tricks, and resources for the WebKit browser engine.
Please follow, reblog, subscribe, and retweet to your heart’s content. Big thanks to everyone who checked it out from my previous tweet.
