Is your code ready for Apple Swift and iOS 8 ?

At its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) announced the introduction of a new programming language that has big implications for the way developers create apps for iOS and OS X devices. Swift, created by Apple’s Chris Lattner, is intended as a faster, more effective way for developers to build apps for iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Apple’s Swift website describes writing code in Swift as “interactive and fun.” The company says that the language’s “syntax is concise yet expressive, and apps run lightning-fast.”

iPhone 6 release date

The iPhone 6 release date is virtually certain for September, which would fit in nicely with the rollout of the newly announced iOS 8. More exactly, the iPhone 6 release date momentum has now gathered pace around September 9, an idle Tuesday at the start of the month. Apple has launched the last few iPhones at a special event in September, so the smart money has always been on September 2014 for the iPhone 6's arrival - followed by a new iPad Air launch in October.

How is a Mobile Site Different from my Website?

There are a few very big differences between a regular website and a mobile website. Because clients will be navigating a mobile site from a phone screen, the navigation, content and structure of the site is simplified and redesigned to maximize the user’s experience. Additionally, it is built with much smaller images to fit a mobile phone screen perfectly. This allows for quick touch navigation much like that of an iPhone home screen. Because the mobile site is built with smaller images, it also loads much faster. Finally, because many smart phones (especially iPhones and Androids) have touch scenes and prompts, we can incorporate sliding galleries, call now and map buttons. If you are planning your "mobile transition", here at Cirrus IT we know all the steps, and our engineers are ready for Your engagement.
