3 Web Design Comics for your lols

Often I find the state of the blogosphere lacks humor. There’s a kajillion web blogs and a monotonous narration in the text. I understand that many are businesses that want to give a professional tone; but hey! It’s nice to get to know the people that are running the blogs too and have some personality, humor, and character in the strips.

I found these comics to counter that:

Take that PC’s!

I think of this all the time now when clearing my cache

Ah yes. I started PremiumWPFramework as a way to escape client work, and this is exactly what I think of when I hear the word “client”. You’re sitting there with your headphones on trying to debug some AJAX loader you’re making, and then the client asks you to make the loading bar a rotating trampoline in their wives/husbands favorite color. You have the urge to go back to them and request they wear one of those howling wolf sweaters because of how epic they are:

The client thinks that’s ridiculous and irrelevant, but you think – sorry – KNOW that web element is irrelevant!
But overall, we love you clients. You put food on our table and keep us busy :D

iPad & iPhone App Development

Many developers wonder how to create iPad and iPhone apps. It’s something that’s on the rise and lots of money to be made off of them. There are two things you can do for this:

  1. Use SDK
    SDK is the programming language used to create apps. it provides dynamic functionality and lots of useful yumminess that CSS and XHTML can’t perform.
  2. Use straight up web languages
    That’s right! You can make apps with XHTML, Javascript, jQuery, CSS, and all that other fun stuff as well. SixRevisions has a good overview of how to do that.

Some of the companies I have worked for even looked down on the fact that I was getting into app development. More and more people are using smart phones / tablets and app development is in demand more and more. Many people that have made apps for the Apple app store make quite a GOOD living off of it.

Here’s a pretty killer picture of the new iPad 2, which was recently released!
