New FREE Beta Deco Software for Linux/Mac/Windows - Need Testers

UWSojourner

Just wondering ... the interface to iPhoneDeco.com looks very similar to FreePlanner.org. Have you guys teamed up?

Hehehe - No - That's just a template from iWeb on a Mac - looks like we both picked the same template. I normally don't use iWeb, but I threw it up there quick and dirty.

Awesome, some great work here.

Is going to run on the Iphone/Ipod Touch as an installed application? Or as a "web app", the later would be a problem in areas where you don't get cell phone coverage.

If you need ANY help testing this on an Iphone let me know. I have a nice jailbroken Iphone waiting here.

Feedback:

I would start with a sliders for adding a dive and I would consider an edit button for that section as well.

here is a mockup of what I'm trying to convey:

No problem! Just wondering if the "free" teams were joining forces.

Have you considered making the app compatible with Windows Mobile OS? I like the interface, but many will have a hard time justifying as change in phones. The Windows Mobile OS also has quite a few more instruments in the market and I believe that'll grow faster than iPhone OS.

I've owned about every major smartphone on the market and I didn't last 2 days with a windows mobile device before I returned it. I now own an iphone and from what I've seen Apple and Blackberry are taking a lot of the market.

Any I digress:
Jdeco, runs on Java, does OC and CCR plus gas mixing is very good, Windows Mobile does Java, so it would work.
VPM on mobile, I haven't used it but it runs on Windows Mobile

Actually, I'm a software engineer of the old school variety - I mention this because the way the algorithm is implemented is ready to port to straight C.

I could just as well port it to C# etc for WindowsCE 5 (Window Mobile). I've written MANY CE apps (matter of fact I have some listed with the patent/copyright office written in straight C ), but in a a painfully ironic (and satisfying) twist, I choose to support Linux and Apple platforms at this point

<SoapBox>
Microsoft has decided that in lieu of actual technology and support of the developers, they want to see how many bullsh!t version of MSDN and the OS's they can create. The day they went from MSDN Universal to MSDN/Humpty Hump/***ity***/AppDev licenses, I decided it was time to move to open source.
</SoapBox>


The reason for this is that MS forgot what built them. Period - End of story.

ps. If you're a VB.Net hack and want to defend MS, be prepared for a flame war from a 20+ year vet

pss. This is like therapy

Too right, mate!

I've been writing software since 1979; FORTRAN, PL/1, Assembler (various micro controllers and PICs), C, C++, Java (plus Perl, Python, Jython, PHP and a host of others...).

I left C++ years ago and have never once regretted the decision. C was an "almost perfect" language, IMO. C++ was it's orphaned bastard child. I hated programming in that language. I absolutely refuse to participate in the "C#, .Nyet, .asp, .whatever" B.S. that MS is now foisting upon programmers.

I'd still rather program in C.
