Kama unapenda kutengeneza mobile apps, HTML5 ndiyo lugha ya kujifunza sasa

Kama unapenda kutengeneza mobile apps, HTML5 ndiyo lugha ya kujifunza sasa

Kama ulikuwa unafikiri kwamba itachukua muda kwa HTML5 kutumika zaidi kwenye mobile app basi unajidanganya. Ukweli ni kwamba HTML5 imekubalika na wataalam wengi wa IT duniani kote kama standard kutenegeneza mobile apps. Hii ni kwasababu HTML5 tayari ni web-based standard, tofauti na language nyingine. Application programs nyingi zina uwezo wa kufanya kazi vizuri kwa kutumia browser ambayo imeandikwa kwa kutumia HTML5.

Faida kubwa ya kutumia HTML5 ni developer anaweza kutengeneza HTML5 app inayoweza kufanya kazi kwenye simu yoyote ya mkononi yenye browser nzuri. Hii itaondoa lile tatizo lililopo kwamba app iliyotengenezwa kwa ajili ya platform za simu kwa mfano Android haiwezi kufanya kazi kwenye platform nyingine kwa mfano iOS. Kwa kutumia HTML5 hili tatizo litakuwa halipo tena.

Hadi sasa Linkedln na Pandora zimeshaipitisha HTML5 kama standard ya kutengeneza applications zake. Miaka kadhaa iliyopita Steve Jobs wa Apple alitabiri kwamba HTML5 kuwa standard ya web apps. Apple waliamua kuipa kisogo  Adobe Flash kutoka kwenye platform ya iOS. Kwa sababu Adobe Flash ni plug in application, kumekuwa na shida kwa wengi kutumia application kama You Tube ambayo inatumia Adobe Flash. HTML5 imeondoa tatizo hili, huhitaji tena Adobe Flash kwa sababu una uwezo wa kutumia video moj kwa moja.

Tatizo linaloikwamisha HTML5 kwa sasa ni jinsi program hii itaweza kuuungana vizuri na simu za mkononi zilivyotengenezwa ili kuhakikisha inatumia features zote zilizopo. Hiiinahusiana na features kama kamera, global positioning system (GPS), n.k. Ikumbukwe kwamba application za kawaida za simu zinahusiana vizuri na software ya simu kama vile Android. Hii iniwezesha application hiyo kujenga uhusiano na hardware yenyewe inayoiwezesha kutoa huduma mbali mbali kwa mfano kujua mteja alipo, kutoa direction kwa kutumia ramani, n.k

Kuna mengi mazuri ya HTML5 yanakuja hivyo usiisahau kwenye vitu unavyotakiwa kuvijua japo kidogo

Didier Drogba was delighted to score on his return from injury for Chelsea, notching his side's fourth in yesterday's 4-1 win over Swansea City.

Didier Drogba was delighted to score on his return from injury for Chelsea, notching his side's fourth in yesterday's 4-1 win over Swansea City.

The Ivorian international replaced Nicolas Anelka on 78 minutes at Stamford Bridge, having missed three weeks of action following a collision with John Ruddy in the 3-1 win over Norwich City.

Having failed to get on in the Carling Cup clash against Fulham in midweek, Drogba's opportunity was limited to the final 12 minutes of the match, but he took little time to make his mark for Andre Villas-Boas' side.
"I was really happy to be back on the pitch with my friends, with my people as I always call them, and the way the fans were supporting me was fantastic," Drogba told the official Chelsea website post-match.

"I expected to come on and play on Wednesday but it was perfect to come on and score in this game, but I want to look at the team's performance. We were one man down so it was difficult but we played really well.
"We are progressing. We made a lot of changes in the summer with a new manager coming in and it was very interesting the way we played against Swansea, and the second half we had at Manchester United was very interesting as well, so I think we are going to keep progressing."

Fernando Torres and Ramires had put the Blues in control against their Welsh opponents, before the Spanish striker saw a controversial red for the west London side.

Brazilian Ramires added further to the Chelsea lead before Ashley Williams set-up a potential grand-stand finish, only for Drogba to secure the win late-on.

 President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete addresses the Every Woman, Every Child Leaders Event of the Global Strategy for women's and Children's Health at the ECOSOC Chamber at the UN Headquarters in New York Tuesday, organised by the UN Secretary-General Mr Ban ki Moon

 President Kikwete stresses a point  during the high-level meeting held at the conclusion of the UN Summit on Non-Communicable Diseases and leading into the High-level Debate of the General Assembly, spearheaded by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in  the implementation of the Every Woman Every Child effort in support of the Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health.
