Mobile JS Framework Comparison

Posted in Libraries on July 27th, 2010 by Jamie – 2 Comments

I did a quick matrix to compare various mobile JS frameworks in late May. It is probably a little outdated, especially with the recent Sencha merger, and I did not know DashCode could create web applications at the time, but maybe it will help someone. Enjoy! http://bit.ly/d6Gsaj

Scifihifi-iPhone Keychain Wrapper

Posted in Libraries on July 26th, 2010 by Jamie – 1 Comment

Here’s a great wrapper that really simplifies working with KeyChain in iOS http://log.scifihifi.com/post/55837387/simple-iphone-keychain-code. The code is on GitHub as well http://github.com/ldandersen/scifihifi-iphone/tree/master/security/.

Apple’s official documentation is here, and there is also a sample project, but it’s not a good example for getting up and running quickly. The version of the project (last updated 10/2009) doesn’t even run on the simulator.
