Kindle Fire Development.

I really like the new Kindle Fire I happened to purchase one in November as soon as they hit the shelves of stores.

I’ve been trying to merge my iPad app Monster Munch to fit the smaller screen size of the Kindle Fire.

This has not been easy, because not only do you have to support the smaller screen sizes, but you have to support the Motorola Zoom’s screen size. It happens to take a long time re-sizing and adjusting to get things just right.

I hope to have this all sorted out so I can sell my Android flavored version of Monster Munch this year.

Stay tuned for an update, post below any comments or development tricks.

New App idea coming soon.

So I’ve been learning some advanced jQuery UI techniques and skills.

I managed to create some neat validation techniques by using the jQuery .hasClass parameter which looks for classes on elements.

If has class then do this else false do something else.

The possibilities are endless I just hope that the jQuery UI works on devices such as the iPad and Android, but I’m not too worried as there probably is a hack or library plugin for it.

The other thing I’m caught in the middle of is programming jQuery to fire off sounds using the html5 audio element which I noticed there appears to be only on plugin called Buzz! that does this. I’m excited to start using it but I am not so sure about the documentation, but I tend to jump into these projects experimenting with elements anyway.
