Can anyone recommend a VERY easy to use program for creating a very basic app for my iPhone4?

  I just want to be able to enter a few fields of data and have it emailed to my office.  Any suggestions?  I am not a programmer, so easy is the key word here.
I work for a craft brewery and I want to be able to enter some basic repedative info from kegs of beer and how the beer pours back to our brewery for quality controll.
Thanks gang!

This is easily accomplished using HTML5 and JavaScript. In this case, the most difficult part will be encoding the mailto URL. Most people don't realize that the you can stuff an entire email message into a mailto URL, not just an e-mail address.
In this model, you would compose a web-page (one or more files) and include a manifest file (that lists the files used for that page), and reference the manifest file in the page itself. You would then browse to the page, and save a bookmark to the page on the phone's springboard (an icon on the home screen). By including a manifest, all the files that make up the page are copied to your device and you can use the application locally.
In fact, HTML5 on iOS permits you to write databases, draw graphs, make animations, etc. What you can't do is access other apps from within the HTML5 app (outside of using URLs).
In your particular scenario, though, if there's network connectivity in the brewery, I would suggest a regular web-application on the phone and write a little front-end to some database. You also have options like FileMaker Go, Numbers for iPhone, etc.

  • Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone

    Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone. The one intalled is hopelessly inadequate and inefficient. 2 Main problems- The current iCal + Contacts programs do not link to each other. And there is no To Do List!
    Palm and MS Outlook had those features 6 years ago! Whats up with Apple?!!

    ical does have a to do list in it. either click the little pin under the calendar, or click show to do list in the view menu.
    i don't know much purpose behind needing to link ical and address book (not that i'm saying it isn't important at all - you obviously have some type of need for it). but it's got to be possible somehow, because you can set ical to make a calendar of birthdays from your address book contacts (in the main preference pane for the application).
    plus, i doubt there'd be another mac calendar application you'd be able to sync with your iphone, unless whoever developed it developed an iphone app to sync it with. probably wouldn't sync with your contacts/calendar apps that come with the iphone.

  • Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript for flash?

    Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript
    for flash?
    Intermediate level
    I have been using flash for about 2 years more as a hobby
    than anything else, some websites etc but now I realise I am going
    to need to learn more actionscripting to do what I want, I have
    come to terms with the simple stuff like goto – basic
    variables – load mov – enough to programme up website
    navigation.
    I ideally want to learn more about the dynamic side of flash,
    mostly for designing user interfaces and websites etc
    I’m after a book that doesn’t get too heavy too
    fast yet I’m a little past the more basic functions
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers

  • Can anyone recommend software to scan iMac hard drive for errors

    Hello Apple Community
    Can anyone recommend software to scan iMac hard drive for errors/defects/corruption?
    I've been having problems with hard drive for months and it finally froze on me so I reformatted and restored from Time Machine.
    Everything is fine now but I just have a feeling I will see the same problems occur because I simply restored to the exact moment from where I was having problems (i.e. Finder crashing/permissions issues/Volumes unmounting/Trash not working/Random error messages/Computer crashing when opening or saving PNG).
    I read that sometime Disk Utility doesn't always pick up on a defect or corrupt hard drive.  The whole time I was having problems Disk Utility said HD was ok.
    Is there software that can do a better job of scanning hard drive for errors and let me know if I need to get HD replaced? 
    Thanks
    Brad

    I agree with both.  Most important though is you backup your data frequently*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    That way if a problem should arise, and it is a result of the hard drive actually dying, you won't accidently kill the hard drive in the process of trying to detect errors.

  • Can anyone recommend a backlit keyboard to use with the Macbook Pro?

    I like to hook my laptop up to a larger monitor and work that way while at home with an external keyboard hooked up by usb. I am using an older mac keyboard but its hard to see the keys if the room is not well lit. Can someone recommend a backlit external keyboard to use with the macbook pro that has a number pad? This seems really hard to find for some reason... Thanks!

    Logitech makes a USB-powered backlit keyboard but it is for Windows PCs. You should check its Web site to see if it has a similar one for Macs.

  • Can anyone recommend a car charger and FM transmitter for my iphone 4s?

    I recently purchased one from eBay but it didn't charge my iPhone 4s - it said - charging is not supported with this accessory.
    Can anyone reccomend a charger and FM transmitter that doesn't cost the earth??
    My only other slight problem is that my cigarette lighter is behind the handbrake so I need one that has a lead coming out of it rather have one that that is directly attatched to the cigarette lighter if you know what I mean!!!
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I was considering the same thing.  And, although I don't have a suggested product for you, I do have a suggestion...  I'm not going to buy a charger / FM Transmitter becasue it will cost me the better part of $100 and it will still not sound very good.  Instead, I'm saving up for a new head unit for my car that will support my iPhone via USB, allow me to connect to my car stereo via bluetooth for calls, and allow me to control my music via the head unit instead of the phone.  A little more cost but for much greater functionality.

  • Hi can anyone recommend the best laptop to use most adobe products ?

    Hi I'm wanting to buy a new laptop for uni to use adobe programmes such as photoshop, illustrator, in design and most other programmes?

    While MobileMe does offer up cloud storage, I wouldn't say it's a great backup service as such. You have to manually copy stuff etc. It's not automated - of course there are ways to automate it of course.
    Also, you need to consider the amount you need to store. 20Gb standard with MobileMe, beyond that you pay to upgrade?
    Personally I prefer to use automated services. My current favourite is Mozy - you can read about my experiences here: http://www.markc.me.uk/MarkC/Blog/Entries/2009/7/15Online_Backups_-Mozy.html
    I've the best part of 1Tb of uploaded backed up data on there now, all for 50ish dollars/year. Bargain, and works well.

  • Can anyone recommend some good handlebar or bike mounts for the iphone 6?

    I'm looking for an iPhone 6 mount that does not cover my screen and will be stable for long rides. Does anyone have any recommendations?

    I would have to recommend the Tackform Freedom Bike Mount. It has an adjustable grip so you can customize the tension on your phone. It also gives you full access to your speakers and ports, etc. Works with any handlebar. ( It comes with a few rubber strips to custom fit to the bar size. Ultra Light design. It also comes with this rubber safety sling that grips the corners of the phone to provide additional stability. I originally got it to us the MapMyRide app and I've put about 2,000 miles on my bike so far and haven't found any issues.

  • Can anyone recommend a beauty filter or glow effect for final cut pro x

    I'm looking for a plug in filter that's like the old plug ins for final cut pro 7 for final cut pro x
    Any suggestions.  FYI final cut pro x effects does not have it.  
    I'm not looking to fix skin tone but looking for a beauty filter for final cut pro x
    Thanks

    I put together some filters using old Photoshop tricks:
    Colorist Toy Box:

    The two effects can be combined on clips.
    YMMV

  • Can anyone recommend a good to do list manager?

    I like iCal for many reasons, but I'd like a to do list that had a bit more functionality (not a Dashboard widget!). Can anyone recommend something they've found useful? Thanks.

    I'll take a look at Palm Desktop. One problem is that I like iCal in most other ways. My wife and I were able to establish a household mini-network, sharing calendars, etc. But the to-do list is really very limited.
    We used Now Up-to-Date for awhile as well, and the to-do options there were very nice. But that was a bit more complicated, and overkill for us. So I was hoping there was some utility that just did to-do things better than iCal.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Can anyone recommend easy to use, cheap, storyboarding software. Thanks.

    Can anyone recommend easy to use, cheap, storyboarding software. Thanks.

    Actually, the software I've seen that does this is pretty cumbersome, and since we require a storyboard at the school I teach a class or two at, the students I teach have tried many... they still end up drawing them; they say it's a lot easier.
    However http://www.storyboardartist.com/artist.html seems to be the most popular. http://www.atomiclearning.com/storyboardpro has a freebie... if you type Storyboard Software in google... ya get a pile of them. might look for some demos?

    I think handbrake is easier for novices.
    Mpegstreamclip is good software with a lot of great features but may be more than most people need.
