Since Flash is still nothing but a dream for the iPhone/iPod Touch brothers it leaves advanced web development somewhat up a creek. Luckily, the Mobile Safari performs admirably in all other interactive fields, including JavaScript, allowing you to make use of some of the fun features revolving around AJAX and JSON to make a really sweet webApp. The adventure of building an application that would work with the memory and quiz features of the Bradley University Renaissance Gala taught me a great deal about using the web features of the iPhone/iPod touch.

A journey through life, love, and really sweet iPod webApps.

There is no doubting that apple’s SDK for the iPhone/iPod Touch is a fantastic bit of software that will usher in a new age in mobile computing, but until they release the ability for users to download and run the content on their precious hand-helds there is nothing to be done but design for the web.

This is what I did for Bradley University’s Renaissance Gala event with the help of my trust instructor Steve Merrill. This is the first of two posts. This post will have my thoughts and the Gala itself and the other will have my experience developing a webApp for the iPhone.
