I posted link about the goole stuff the oter day, but didn't actually look myself :)
 
I know no C or  C++ or any object orientated language to be honest.
 
My skills stop at various form os Basic,  even the coding part of my job only envolves a very simple form of basic( which asctually makes life harder aseveryhting needs to be done by hand and with calls to VB api using ole calls.
 
So might stick to learning VB for now as have plenty of books on that and VB not restricted in any way these days so as powerful (if not as effcient) as C on windows these days,
VB is pretty nasty... Have a look at learning C, that if nothing else will be a whole lot more useful and interesting than VB

Almost forgot about JavaScript, that's really awesome! Combine that with HtML5 and you have a really powerful platform!

Hmmm, I've tried Opera on my iPhone... Not sure what the advantages are over the built in browser... I can't really read the text :( I'd stick with a webkit based browser, regardless of platform.


Well, to be fair the Opera you would have tried on the iPhone is Opera Mini v5 and the one JJ is talking about is Opera Mobile 10.

Mini VS Mobile

Opera Mini is a more of a web "viewer" than a browser. When you call up Amiga.org, Opera Mini requests it from the Opera severs which load it, format it, compress it (probably why you get blurry text), and then send this "image" to your phone.  It's much more static. There are no animations or flash.

Opera Mobile 10 that JJ is talking about isn't available for the iPhone(sadly) and is a full web browser.  It has flash support and renders pages itself, etc.


OperaMini (what the iPhone has) is a pretty cool app to have if you are on a slow network.  It's also great if you are on a non-pda type cell phone as it is usually 10x better than what most 'standard' phones come with.

Opera Mobile though is in a whole different class than Opera Mini.  I'd love to see it on iPhone someday.
