AppleInsider | Apple developing Flash alternative named Gianduia

dharmavir — Wed, 12 May 2010 12:58:45 -0500

One of the biggest revelations at WWDC was quietly unveiled in a session on Friday morning entitled "Building Native Look-and-Feel Web Applications Using SproutCore." While Apple maintained high security during the entire NDA-sealed WWDC session, the secret of SproutCore is out because it is an open source project and people can't stop talking about it.

As Apple's public schedule for WWDC explained, "SproutCore is an open source, platform-independent, Cocoa-inspired JavaScript framework for creating web applications that look and feel like Desktop applications. Learn how to combine SproutCore with HTML5's standard offline data storage technologies to deliver a first-class user experience and exceptional performance in your web application."

The secrets of SproutCore first tumbled out of the bag last fall, when it was revealed that .Mac Web Gallery had been built using the framework. Originally developed by Charles Jolley of SproutIt for use in his online email manager named Mailroom, the SproutCore framework goes beyond other JavaScript frameworks because it is designed to build entire rich applications on the web rather than just adding some animation or sizzle to web pages.

Common pitfalls of iPhone development

dharmavir — Wed, 12 May 2010 12:56:25 -0500

I haven't written any posts lately. This is because I dug into iPhone application development and this really consumed most of my spare time. As you may remember, I've already mentioned that I would like to start dealing with mobile platforms as a target for my OpenGL related experiments and projects. After Android, this time I got my hands on a Mac mini and took a look at the currently most popular mobile gaming platform. Actually, these initial experiments wouldn't take that long time if I would have to deal with just a new API and not with a brand new world with its own benefits and drawbacks.

I have a long experience in using Windows and Linux as a development platform with tons of different development environment and programming languages. Beside that, I've also done some Mac application development, at least if we can call a cross-platform application so that works on all of these three desktop operating systems. Taking in consideration these facts I thought that starting to develop under Mac OS X targeting the iPhone platform will be piece of cake as I just have to master one another programming language and API, namely Objective-C and Cocoa Touch. Well, it turned out that I was too optimistic and this is not that simple as it looks like (at least for me, who hardly ever used a Macintosh before).

External data not accessible outside a Flash movie's domain

dharmavir — Wed, 12 May 2010 12:40:17 -0500

For security reasons, a Macromedia Flash movie playing in a web browser is not allowed to access data that resides outside the exact web domain from which the SWF originated.

As an enhancement to Macromedia Flash Player 7, domains must be identical for data to be read. With this change a sub-domain can no longer read data from a parent domain and vice versa.

Cross-domain policy files
Another change to the Flash Player 7 framework is the use of cross-domain policy files. A policy file is a simple XML file that gives the Flash Player permission to access data from a given domain without displaying a security dialog. When placed on a server, it tells the Flash Player to allow direct access to data on that server, without prompting the user grant access.

The server can be in any location available to the Flash movie and does not have to be in the same domain. Cross-domain policy files, named crossdomain.xml, are placed at the root level of a server. When using a policy file you can use a wildcard character (*) in a domain name. For more information on policy files see Why Use Policy Files below.

Note: When serving a policy file, you must not use a cross-domain redirect, or the player will ignore the policy file.

Cross-domain file access
This applies to any ActionScript command or object that sends or receives data, including loadVariables, the XMLSocket object methods, and the XML object send andsendAndLoad commands.

Flash Player follows specific guidelines to determine domain compatibility. Refer to Domain Comparison below for details.

Descriptions and ways to address the following issues are outlined below.

You cannot load variables or XML data into a Flash movie from another domain.

Data cannot be returned to Flash from an incompatible domain (Flash Player 6,0,47,0 and above)

Flash movies loaded from incompatible domains cannot access ActionScript objects and variables (Flash 6 and above SWF files)

Practical PHP Patterns: Service Layer

dharmavir — Mon, 03 May 2010 14:00:36 -0500

The last domain logic pattern we will treat in this series is the Service Layer one. In its simplest form, a Service Layer is a set of service classes that deal with application logic, and that are characterized from being used from different front-ends.

Source code, at every level of abstraction, is the representation of data entities and their related behavior, particularly in an object-oriented paradigm. There are different types of logic which this behavior can be partitioned into:

* business logic is encapsulated in a Domain Model, and it is specific to the particular domain the application works in. The added value of an enterprise application ensues primarily from its business logic.
* application logic is in the scope of a Service Layer, and it is not strictly domain-specific, although its implementation may be. For example, translating objects into an XML or Json representation is part of application logic, even if it is executed with application-specific classes which depends on an underlying Domain Model. The task of representing data in a particular format is oblivious to the domain, as it does not belong to forums or social networks platforms only, or to an electronic or chemistry domain.
* presentation logic finds in an user interface its quintessence, and it can be considered as the subset of application logic which governs the end user view of the system. I would not consider a difference of format in the whole representation of an object as presentation logic, though, as it falls into the realm of reusability I would want to keep in a Service Layer.
