Why Apple keeps its iPhone 2.0 SDK under NDA (2)
on
AppleInsider (144) permalink
Apple's insistence on keeping iPhone 2.0 development under strict non disclosure agreements is frustrating efforts in the development community to share ideas, teach classes on iPhone development, and print reference books on the subject. However...Shared by Antoine (33) expertseries (4)- expertseries said: By simply ignoring the spirited and often uninformed debates that flare up around every engineering decision the company makes, Apple's engineers are able to focus on making decisions based on a more complete, internal picture of all of the factors involved, rather than being distracted to explain why each decision was made and rethinking each one in blogs and other public forums.

Yesterday it was announced that The EcmaScript language standards body has killed the draft version, called 4.0 that was the basis of all of Adobe’s Flash related language technologies for the last several years. In the Adobe world, EcmaScript 4.0 was also know by the name ActionScript. And while this certainly does not make any of Adobe’s work any less valuable than it was, it is indeed a strategic black eye for Adobe.

It's no secret that I'm not a fan of Apple's App Store being the sole provider of software for the iPhone. I discussed this at length in One Little Article, but the complaint boils down to this: I believe Apple having complete and sole control of what software users can install is bad for customers, bad for developers, and likely even bad for Apple itself. For my part, I'm hoping that software installation will open ...Contribute comment -
