QR Generator module for Titanium Appcelerator

We just launched an iOs only module that is able to create QR codes directly on the device without using an online service.

It can generate all types of codes (from 1 to 40) and with any level of correction (L, M, Q, H). You can also customize the size of the resulting QR code and it will try to adapt itself to this size to remain perfectly sharp and fully visible.

Dan Tamas presentation at TheEvnt 2011

Dan Tamas was honored by the invitation to speak at TheEvnt 2011 conference in Cáceres, Spain, May 14th about his newest passion (please read obsession) and his work as a Titanium Appcelerator mobile developer.

The purpose of this talk was to present the advantages of using this framework to develop applications for iPhone, iPad and Android devices and was only an introductory talk in order to present to the Spanish developers an alternative to ObjectiveC and the very popular Java.

Dan Tamas portfolio website

We are happy to announce that, finally, our Rborn Development partner has grown up and decided to create his own webpage for his iPhone, iPad and Android projects. And we think the logo suits him perfectly

The page was coded using HTML5, CSS3, ARIA to improve accessibility and a stroke of Javascript for the smooth scrolling menu – it can be seen at dan-tamas.me

Kids-apps.mobi, a collection of educational iPhone & iPad apps for kids

We launched kids-apps.mobi, a website collecting educational iPad and iPhone/iPod touch applications for children.

It will focus on presenting less content and more video demonstrating the capabilities of each application in an attempt to convince parents about the quality of the application before purchasing it.

Upload your kids application

In case you have launched an application and would like to feature it in the kids-apps.mobi website, drop us a line using the form on the Kids-apps website.

We boycott IE6

Rborn team decided to start a campaign in order to convince the visitors upgrade their old browsers.

The campaign is targeted mainly at Internet Explorer 6 users who are not aware of the importance of keeping their browser up-to-date.

We started this campaign on our development blog CSS Gallery. and we hope more and more webdesign companies will do the same.

Rborn team is going accessible

We have created a new category in our development blog in order to write about our experience related to the accessibility elements that need to be included in websites.  The posts are based on our own experience and offer coder-to-coder tips and tricks, useful usable and accessible code that can be included in any website and other helpful (we hope) advice to understand and use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0

For a start we wrote  Common sense accessibility 2.0, a set of tips and tricks of accessibility elements that must be included in any website. How we use them, how they should or should not be included.  As usual, anyone’s experience and ideas are most welcomed.

The second post is much more practical and it offers the HTML/PHP/CSS code to implement an accessible contact form. The code is available for download but the it can also be tested and studied on our development subdomain.

We intend to continue writing about this subject and add more posts to this category. Also your opinions, ideas and suggestions are  welcomed in our intent to bring the accessibility guidelines closer to the web developer.

Kroppr: unobtrusive crop script is updated to v1.1

We are happy to announce you the release of the version 1.1 of Kroppr.

This version brings next improvements:
1. Now we have PNG and GIF support, also keeping the JPG
2. We fixed a bug related to correct selection of the image processing component present on the server.
3. We changed the order of the image processing components – now first priority has ImageMagick.
4. We removed E_NOTICE form the error reporting in php.

The new working script can be found on the Kroppr site.

Kroppr: image cropping script

Kroppr is an unobtrusive script that will enhance any site that wants to offer an image cropping tool for its visitors.

Unlike other scripts, Kroppr is able to ROTATE, zoom and move the image in the real time without using plugins – such as flash or java. The cropping is done after the user is satisfied with the settings. This way, the load put on the server is minimised and also the visitor’s experience.

The installation is also very simple – add a script tag in the header’s page and a class to the image that must be cropped.

More info on the Kroppr page.

Here is a nice demo:
