Hi, for the last year or so I've been playing around with PHP, MySQL and HTML5. Primarily for fun, I've been making a customer database for work and i've really enjoyed doing it. What I would like to know is if i'm going about things the right way. I'll explain what I've been doing so far in a moment but I should explain my main priority is cost. Like I said, this is for fun mainly so my employer isn't prepared to pay much.
So PHP and MySQL where used because its cheap to buy hosting (I'm using 1&1 currently). It also meant i could run also run a free MAMP server locally to test on. I've been using Coda by Panic for the actual coding and iWebKit as an iOS theme.
I was wondering if this was the best way forward or is there a better package/environment to use?
Im really only interested in working on Apps like this rather than games or anything else so I don't think learning Objective C would be worth it. Also don't think its worth learning how to write a backend server app or anything as I'm really not at that level at all...
I'm fairly sure that HTML/PHP/Javascript are the technologies I should be working in but wonder if I'm re-inventing the wheel.
I was wondering what other people are doing?
just on a side note, I wanted to expand the database i have made and taylor it for the iPad and other tablet devices. Is there a framework tailored for these too?
