jQuery mobile framework?

[peterH]

Hi Bruce,

Any plans to include support for this in the templates?

Hi Peter,

Absolutely!
Basically the roadmap goes something like;

NT5 : Complete the Planner, and add a couple other calendars. Endless minor tweaks and fixes.
Possibly one more "nice" feature (more on that some other time.)

NT6: IPv6, jQuery Mobile, more jQuery widgets and so on - aiming to get the first release of this out towards the middle of the year.

Actually a lot of the recent work, like the calendars for example, has taken the "mobile" design issues very much into account. It's one of the reasons I haven't implemented a right-click menu in NetTalk at all (since touch devices don't have a right-click).

Of course I'd love the mobile stuff to be integrated already, I have an immediate need for it myself, but it's a fairly big job, and has to be done fairly carefully. If I'm lucky though, and the planets line up right, then you'll simply take your current apps, and spit out a "mobile version" of it, with very little, or no, work.

Cheers
Bruce

Bruce,

That's great news! Just let me know when you need my CC details 

How about the same app lending itself to any type of device (I'm thinking of the media stuff in css3)?

Hi Peter,

the same app is easy.
but the goal is that the same _procedures_ in the app allow for different types of devices.

Cheers

Bruce,

Are you looking to get NT6 / jQuery mobile framework out in 2011 or is this a 2012 project?

Thank you,
David.

2011. mobile will be a big theme at the workshop in September. (www.cidc2011.com)

I will probably have a limited pre-release in July / August with a view to a full public release either just before, or at, the conference.

Hi Bruce,

If you are starting up an NT6 'pre release list' I would really like to be considered<g>!  I have a couple of mobile projects in the wings.
