Sencha Touch or jQuery Mobile? – Read This Before You Make a Decision
Sencha Touch or jQuery Mobile? – Read This Before You Make a Decision.
If you ever need to choose between jQuery Mobile and Sencha Touch, you need to consider these factors before making your decision:
About jQuery Mobile
- It’s a UI-only library, which relies on jQuery and jQuery UI for DOM manipulation, Ajax and other utilities
- To create UI widgets, you generally need to hand-code their html, and the library enhances their look and feel
- As it works by enhancing the html you create, it allows you to re-use or re-purpose existing html
- Some simple applications can be created using only html, without having to write JavaScript code
- It has a relatively small object model, which makes it faster and easier to learn, specially if you are familiar with jQuery
- It does not impose a coding discipline or structure, which gives you flexibility, but can lead to applications that are difficult to maintain
- Easier to integrate with other frameworks
- Targets more devices than Sencha Touch
- Not tied to a particular vendor
About Sencha Touch
- It’s a library that tries to do it all: UI widgets, DOM manipulation, Ajax and other utilities
- Does not depend on other libraries
- Follows a JavaScript-centric approach, where you are required to write little html
- Has a large object model, which provides more features out of the box, but takes longer to learn
- Imposes a coding structure and discipline, which generally results in well-organized code
- Provides built-in server and local storage abstractions, which make it easier to perform CRUD operations on relational data
- Has built-in facilities for creating iOS and Android native packages
- Targets less devices than jQuery Mobile

Backround
Nico from South- Africa has been building racing cars for a while now. This however is the first of it’s kind in New Zealand. He received a few new sponsors and this will hopefully continue until the point where he can build racing cars as a full time opportunity. This car is uqiue and built up from the ground. Everything been engineered into completeness with great precision.
This is also a new type of design, previously nit used in New Zealand. Since been different to New Zealand this has proved itself over and over again in places like South-Africa and New Zealand. Anyone interested in this can contact Nico at cnhmuller@yahoo.co.nz. More photos of the build and the putting together will be put up unto his website in future.

March 20, 2012, 7:51 AM — Seven years ago, developers behind Mambo, an open source software project for publishing websites, split over a dispute regarding control of the project. The project fork resulted in Joomla, a free and open source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content and sites.
Today, Joomlathe name is a phonetic spelling for the Swahili word “Jumla,” which means “as a whole”is one of the most popular open source content management systems (CMS), claiming that 2.7% of the Web is Joomla-based sites.
If you were to drop Joomla on a straight line with other popular open source CMS projects, it would fall somewhere between WordPress and Drupal. Joomla, which is offered under the General Public License (GPL) version 2.0, is more robust than WordPress, while Drupal is usually favored by those with a developer background.
“Joomla really fits nicely between WordPress and Drupal,” says Ryan Ozimek, president of Open Source Matters, a nonprofit organization that provides organization, legal and financial support to the Joomla project.
“We’ve built a community and have a focus on reaching out to the average user and administrators of a website, but we also give under-the-hood tools to the developers and engineers trying to do something more complex,” he adds.
Joomla powers the Children’s Hospital Boston social intranet, providing a “Facebook-like” social environment and handling more than 2,500 concurrent users.
Joomla Jibes With Small to Mid-Sized Businesses
With such a large community and abundance of products and services, the small and medium-sized business (SMB) market is where this open source CMS is a strong contender. Small businesses like having access to thousands of add-ons that make it easy to extend basic website functionality.
“We’ve encouraged an economy around being able to productize add-ons. A small business can install a Joomla site by following a five-step tutorial on the Web, download the add-ons in a single zip file and end up with a professional site,” said Ozimek.
Ozimek said that small businesses typically use Joomla-based sites for standard brochure-like websites, to add functionality to communicate with customers using support ticketing or for ecommerce.
The SMB market is where Joomla earned its reputation, but now all eyes are on the enterprise and what Joomla can do there.
Joomla Makes Strides in the Enterprise
This year, the enterprise is the big picture evolution for Joomla. It’s still a core CMS offering but new focus gives developers tools to build any sort of Web application that goes well beyond the good old-fashioned Joomla site.
In the enterprise, open source CMS software is highly visible. Kathleen Reidy, Senior Analyst at 451 Research, said acceptance and availability of open source CMS projects has grown. Ten years ago open source CMS projects existed, but there wasn’t many options for a commercial entity for an enterprise to partner with for development and support. Today, this isn’t the case.
Reidy said that open source software in the enterprise does have benefits over proprietary software. “One benefit with open source is that you can download and try it on your own instead of going through a vendor-led process of RFP, proof-of-concept and demos,” she explains.
For Joomla, its enterprise push is backed by support from companies like Microsoft and eBay who have significantly enabled the Joomla community to push the boundaries beyond the SMB market.
“EBay has 16,000 employees running on an intranet system that was built using the Joomla CMS and Joomla framework. The system does social networking and grabs terabytes of data for eBay to run reports on,” said Ozimek. “Under the hood is a new generation of technology that allows developers to go beyond the basics of having a blog or brochure base website. “
One of the more recent enterprise Joomla deployments is a social networking Intranet for Children’s Hospital Boston, a Harvard medical school pediatric teaching hospital.
Sarah Mahoney, the hospital’s innovation community manager, looked at open source options because the proprietary system being used at the hospital prevented them from making much-needed upgrades.

The Samsung Galaxy S III Leaked! 1.5GHz, 4.8-inch 1080p Display, Ceramic Case | TechCrunch
Samsung previously made it known that the Galaxy S III would not be announced at Mobile World Congress.
But it leaked anyway. And it might steal the show. Forgot about the HTC One X and Sony Xperia U, the Samsung GSIII will be the Android phone to beat in 2012.
Inside the Galaxy S III is said to be a quad-core Samsung Exynos CPU running at 1.5GHz. It will power a 4.8-inch 16×9 display that’s reportedly a Blu-ray display — whatever that means. A 2MP resides in the front bezel while an 8MP is embedded around back. BGR doesn’t state the target carrier(s) but the phone will rock a 4G LTE radio. An unconfirmed rendering is pictured up top.
The case is reportedly made out of ceramic, which in a world of plastic and aluminum, is a fun change of pace. Ceramic feels great to the touch, can be very durable and since it’s comprised of mostly baked mud, it’s better for the environment. Plus, with ceramic, Apple can’t claim Samsung copied any of its products.
It will ship with Android 4.0 installed sometime later this year. Samsung previously stated that it would hold a launch event for the phone closer to its ship date. I’d expect the phone in late spring/early summer.
