Buch, Englisch, PB

This book focuses on the skills necessary to port websites to the iPhone, improving the user interface to take advantage of the Safari for iPhone web browser.

Unlike all the other iPhone books currently on the market, this book will not focus on XCode, Dashcode and native application interactivity.

Rather, this first of its kind iPhone book will focus on cutting edge JS, CSS and HTML - which are standard browser technologies - adding native CSS, CSS animations, optimized javascript, and iPhone specific event handling. While some of the CSS3 and CSS animations are only possible due to the power of the Safari mobile browsers, and to the nature of touch and tilt, it is expected that many of these features will soon work on desktop browsers.

She is currently the Senior UI Engineer at Uptake.com, a partner and author at CommunityMX.com, the technical editor for "CSS Detective", due in 2010, and author of CSS, JavaScript and XHTML Explained (htttp://evotech.net/blog), a technical blog (with over 1M visitors).

Estelle lives just south of San Francisco. She has a Bachelor's degree from Washington University, a Masters degree from Harvard University, and a much more useful Associates Degree from Foothill Community College. While not programming, teaching others how to program, and reading up on new technology, she enjoys hanging out with her dogs, and bringing her 1960s home into the 21st century.
