WWDC: Peter Kelly Forsakes Android for Joys of iPad Coding – The Mac Observer
WWDC: Peter Kelly Forsakes Android for Joys of iPad Coding – The Mac Observer.
Peter Kelly is the developer behind UX Write, which is a native iOS app for document editing and is able to edit .docx, as well as other formats. (Right now, UX Write uses WebKit for editing and does not do any layout itself; this is logical, if a little surprising, to use WebKit. But Peter has been writing also about using LaTeX, which would be terrific, especially for those in engineering, sciences, or any field where not only do equations need to be represented but much more. See Peter’s post on LaTeX.
Bad Idea of the Week: a $99 Microsoft Office App for the iPhone
Bad Idea of the Week: a $99 Microsoft Office App for the iPhone.
All the more reason for an app that’s been designed for actual uses of the iPad and who want to work with others, not be worked over by the machine. I speak, of course, of UX Write. See the blog.
Closing the Gap

With this fourth issue we wrap up the first year of the Journal of
Digital Humanities, and with it, our first twelve months of attempting
to find and promote digital scholarship from the open web using a
system of layered review. The importance of assessment and the
scholarly vetting process around digital scholarship has been foremost
in our minds, as it has in the minds of many others this year. As digital
humanities continues to grow and as more scholars and disciplines
become invested in its methods and results, institutions and scholars
increasingly have been debating how to maintain academic rigor while
accepting new genres and the openness that the web promotes.
