Mikael Kindborg is well known in the dynamic languages and Smalltalk communities. He's a former lecturer in Computer Science at Linköping University, and he's been working recently with porting Lua, TinyJS and WebKit to MoSync. I took the opportunity of a break in his busy schedule to ask him about this work.

This blog post was originally written by Patrick Broman and explains how powerful and  important a cross platform framework is when you produce Mobile applications.

The Gartner group rates cross platform development tools very important to reach out and maintain Mobile Applications.

I've recently been writing a tutorial on storing and reading data on the device in MoSync.  For part of the tutorial, I wanted to use some classes which I'd already written which allow you serial access to your data, and are an extension to the included DataHandler class.

Yesterday I was having dinner with an associate of mine. Although she did not have a technical background she was intrigued by the concept of open source software and their communities.

"So there are people out there who make stuff and allow other people to use it for free ... and sometimes even allow them to make money? That can't be right", she said.

As promised, here is my second blog post about native UIs.

After some work and wandering in the Android and Apple documentation, I am glad to announce new prototypes for Android and iPhone, next to the Windows Mobile one. 

I've written a JSON parser. Like the XML parser, it makes calls to your classes to do something useful with the data as it decodes it. Unlike the XML parser, the JSON parser currently requires a complete JSON string, so make sure you've downloaded all the data before you call it. JSON data is typically quite small though.

I've recently been working on a project to integrate SyncML into a MoSync application. SyncML is fantastically simple - there is only one service end point - if you can provide the SyncML server with an XML description of the data you've got and the data you want.

Let me first introduce myself: my name is Romain Chalant and I am currently working on my Master degree's thesis at MoSync. As you may expect, I am going to tell you a bit more about my work here.

When the largest telecom operator in Australia sends its CTO to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona to talk about application stores, the world is usually all ears. You can read a full report here. But am guessing you do not like reading full blown reports, you want concise relevant data...well then read on.

This year in Barcelona was fantastic, Developers everywhere on panels, as keynote speakers and an exhibition hall just for us Hall 7. They even gave away tickets for free to developers (tickets at MWC are ridiculous expensive).
