If you’re looking for good implementations of Apple’s CSS Visual Effects for the iPhone then this example is it.
Although I appreciate this is a fairly old demo, it highlights the power that can be utilised when developing for the iPhone. The coverflow demonstration is certainly very impressive.
Check out the video below or visit the website for a good overview.

This is a great viral augmented reality campaign from Olympus, very engaging, invokes plenty of interaction and most definitely gets people talking. The team behind this project can certainly be proud of their latest creation.

Flash on the iPhone?! No, but it’s a step in the right direction…

It’s obviously been big news for a while now, how can you get Flash onto the iPhone, iPad, iPod? Well technically you still can’t, however, Smokescreen certainly seems like a step in the right direction, or maybe a good alternative anyway.
In simple terms Smokescreen is; “a new open-source project aimed at converting Flash to JavaScript/HTML5 to run where it previously couldn’t and better interoperate with webpages where it previously could.”
Provisionally it is being promoted as a Flash ad replacement technology for devices that do not support the Flash plugin.
On first impressions it does indeed appear to be a good option for opening the web to platforms and devices that restrict Flash, although work is still required on the JavaScript size, currently standing at 175kB
At present it is, seemingly, limited to Flash Ad replacement due to the complexity of rendering anything larger or more detailed with JavaScript, but it’s a fantastic first attempt and it will be very interesting to see how this technology takes off and how developers implement it.

Teach me SQL Injection

An important role of any competent developer is to understand the potential flaws/weaknesses their applications may contain and ensure that they are remedied.
Without this knowledge you leave your applications susceptible to SQL Injection attacks, among others. in this case, the only way to beat them is to join them, so to speak, although please don’t think that’s your que to go on a hacking rampage.
If your knowledge is slightly light within the realms of SQL Injection this site could come in very handy: http://www.codingspace.org/2009/04/teach-me-sql-injection/
The premise is very simple, they supply you with a demo application that can be exploited and you attempt to be as devious as possible with some cunning SQL statements to drop, delete and generally do all manner of nasty things to the demo database.
Obviously this is purely an example application but it definitely aids the learning process.
