iPhoneDevCamp Wrapup Including IUI
Category: iPhone, JavaScript
, WebKit
A lot of good things came out of the weekend.
Christopher Allen kicked off Saturday with a Keynote presentation that acted as a level-setter (for those not watching iPhoneWebDev, and our coverage) that covered what we know about the iPhone to date.
Fast forward a little, and you end up with the apps that came out of the weekend (Pete has a few favourites, but misses Appleopolis), and a new open source project on Google Code, iUI.
iUI is based on Joe Hewitt’s iPhone navigation work and has the following goals:
- Create Navigational Menus from JSON objects
- Build the nav headers and as much of the UI with the canvas tag (JS is sllowww on MobileSafari)
- Events for phone rotation
- Provide a more “iPhone-like” experience to Web apps (on or off the iPhone).
Hopefully it will be the clearing house for all of the tricks that come in, such as the the switch component.
I am looking forward to the next iPhoneDevCamp.

Actually a better representative list of the apps that were presented is on the Hack-a-Thon page, not the applications list page.
