Exactly.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

"The pass-in-the-parameters create pattern" ???
Seriously, where did you see that?
Or maybe you are kidding right?

Best practices aren't.

True, there are always 'better practices'.

It appears to me they are still practicing...

Somebody traded some E-Mails with me and got me to sign up on Intel's site.
Lots of clicks later, I found their XDK stuff and HTML 5.
Still not clear at all on precisely what it does, but it definitely does look like it's worth reading for a few days.
Is it worth the effort ?
Does it funnel your efforts towards their agenda ?
Is their agenda broad enough to encompass most real developers' ideas for creating their own apps and systems ?
Is anybody here already working with them ? Good ? Bad ? Ugly ? Smart ? Stupid ? Will I get rich in one week ?

I have seen several people do that. Are there schools or countries that teach you to do that? Is it intentional?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, in several languages the question mark is separated from the last word with a space.
How is it important? ^^

Well, you're a developper, aren't you? Shouldn't be so difficult for you to develop this SpaceCrusher.
As I really enjoy messy things, I won't do anything about that crucial problem :p

What's that, is it their job to remove white spaces in front of the question mark?

Not only! Exclamation marks are involved, too. That's twice the work.

I am a member of the society to upset RyanDev organization.
We are a division of the department of redundant nomenclature institute.
Our only weapon is distraction, and a space in front of a question mark.

You will get rich in one day!
But seriously - if you have the knowledge of web development (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) you can write on application that runs on all major mobile platform.
I did some development with it (a special calendar) and found it very interesting as a concept (even I think that native development is not the right way). If you have good ideas it is worth learning...

How difficult would it be to write an app in HTML 5 which...
-- runs on Android
-- runs on iPhone
-- runs on a notebook
-- runs on a netbook
-- runs on a tablet
-- allows real time video twixt remote and host
-- allows data (text) between host and phone
-- allows voice
-- allows still shots (camera images) to be exchanged
-- provides access to a database while all this is going on
-- allows the host to catch and catalog the video, voice, text, database exchanges, etc.
...AND WHICH...
-- Doesn't run the battery down in ten minutes flat.
Is HTML 5 already set up for these sorts of simultaneous exchanges ?

Such an application can not be client-only. You have to 'slice' it right between client and server side, however HTML/CSS/JavaScript is ready for the client, IMHO...
The question I ask - why native application? Why not web application?

Now, that's, umm, Contraincidence? Is this a valid word?
On a serious note though, I prefer HTML/CSS apps only in case of "hit service-and-render something" scenario and clients have no "major" usage of device specific features. But again, that might be arguable.
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

IMHO the power of web applications is platform independence, not only you have only one code-base, but you have no run any intermediate tool to publish it...
I have a long history of web development so I'm probably prejudiced
Basically HTML5 came from the idea of making web a powerful platform, so beside some extensions to the HTML language itself it contains over 200 JavaScript libraries (in different state of approval). Those libraries give the web the power of the desktop (native) but still keeping the platform independence nature of it...
I simply like the idea and for that I ask 'why native, why not web'...

Thanks for the responses.
Thanks for the expansion of the discussion.
Moment of confession here: you guys have vocabulary that I don't.
Or, your buzz-words mean different things to you than they mean to me.
I need a definition of "Native Code".
I thought (well, until today, I thought) that "Native" referred to code that was specifically written for a specific processor. Obviously this is not the way you guys are using the word.
I'm pretty clear on Client/Server...
-- The client is the guy at home
-- The server is the box a zillion miles away.
