GQueues Mobile a case for the HTML5 web app
This guest post by Cameron Henneke originally appeared last month on the Google Code blog as part of the Whos at Google I/O series. We dont normally cross-post one month later, but we think this post will be very valuable for Google Apps Marketplace developers evaluating their mobile strategy.
With the proliferation of mobile app stores, the intensity of the native app vs. web app debate in the mobile space continues to increase. While native apps offer tighter phone integration and more features, developers must maintain multiple apps and codebases. Web apps can serve a variety of devices from only one source, but they are limited by current browser technology.
In the Google IO session HTML5 versus Android: Apps or Web for Mobile Development?, Google Developer Advocates Reto Meier and Michael Mahemoff explore the advantages of both strategies. In this post I describe my own experience as an argument that an HTML5 app is a viable and sensible option for online products with limited resources.
Back in 2009 I started developing GQueues, a simple yet powerful task manager that helps people get things done. Built on Google App Engine, GQueues allows users to log in with Gmail and Google Apps accounts, and provides a full set of features including two-way Google Calendar syncing, shared lists, assignments, subtasks, repeating tasks, tagging, and reminders.
While I initially created an “optimized” version of the site for phone browsers, users have been clamoring for a native app ever since its launch two years ago. As the product’s sole developer, with every new feature I add, I consider quite carefully how it will affect maintenance and future development. Creating native apps for iOS, Android, Palm, and Blackberry would not only require a huge initial investment of time, but also dramatically slow down every new subsequent feature added, since each app would need updating. If GQueues were a large company with teams of developers this wouldn’t be as big an issue, although multiple apps still increase complexity and add overhead.
After engaging with users on our discussion forum, I learned that when they asked for a “native app,” what they really wanted was the ability to manage their tasks offline. My challenge was clear: if I could create a fast, intuitive web app with offline support, then I could satisfy users on a wide variety of phones while having only one mobile codebase to maintain as I enhanced the product.
Three months ago I set out to essentially rewrite the entire GQueues product as a mobile web app that utilized a Web SQL database for offline storage and an Application Cache for static resources. The journey was filled with many challenges, to say the least. With current mobile JavaScript libraries still growing to maturity, I found it necessary to create my own custom framework to run the app. Since GQueues data is stored in App Engine’s datastore, which is a schema-less, “noSQL” database, syncing to the mobile SQL database proved quite challenging as well. Essentially this required creating an object relational mapping layer in JavaScript to sit on top of the mobile database and interface with data on App Engine as well as input from the user. As a bonus challenge, current implementations of Web SQL only support asynchronous calls, so architecting the front-end JavaScript code required a high use of callbacks and careful planning around data availability.
During development, my test devices included a Nexus S, iPhone, and iPad. A day before launch I was delighted to find the mobile app worked great on Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Android tablets, as well as the Blackberry Playbook. This fortuitous discovery reaffirmed my decision to have one codebase serving many devices. Last week I launched the new GQueues Mobile, which so far has been met with very positive reactions from users – even the steadfast “native app” proponents! With a team of developers I surely could have created native apps for several devices, but with my existing constraints I know the HTML5 strategy was the right decision for GQueues. Check out our video and determine for yourself if GQueues Mobile stacks up to a native app.

Google Apps Script opens new ways to deliver workflow solutions for businesses
Editors note: This is cross-posted from the Google Enterprise Blog. Guest author John Gale is a developer at Appogee, a Google focused systems integrator in the UK. John helps Appogee customers make the most of the Google platform and is the author of Appogee Bookmarks for Android.
Google Sites offers an incredible way to author and distribute content, and we use it extensively both for ourselves and our clients. Therefore it was not surprising that our customers started requesting a content approval workflow in Google Sites. Now with Google Apps Script, we have been able to develop Appogee Content Approval for Google Sites.
The Solution
Appogee Content Approval for Google Sites (ACA) can be set up for any existing Google Site without having to make any changes to the site. ACA works as follows:
The content submission URL can be shared to any group or published directly on the target Google Site, which represents the end goal on the workflow diagram below. Content may only be submitted by users that are logged into your domain and content can only be published with Approver sanction.
Google Apps Script made it easyWe used a number of Apps Script services to develop this application. Apps Script was an easy choice as it builds on pooled knowledge from the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) and uses Javascript syntax. Using Apps Script’s UI Services, we were able build up a working user interface quickly. Google has since introduced a new experimental feature to complement the UI Services, which provides a drag and drop GUI for building screens. We expect this feature to reduce development time required for building future apps, as well as offering a wide range of widgets and controls to improve the user experience. We used a standard Google spreadsheet as a kind of a data store in ACA. It’s worth mentioning that Apps Script’s documentation site has a plethora of tutorials covering everything from simple spreadsheet macros to full help desk applications.
One of Google Apps Scripts’ core features is the ability to seamlessly integrate different services together, in our case this was Google Sites and Spreadsheets, but many other services are accessible, such as Mail and Contacts. It was always the aim to make ACA a powerful tool without unnecessary complexity and thanks to Google Apps Script, we have successfully delivered content approval workflow to Google Sites. ACA represents our third off-the-shelf product to be listed in the Google Apps Marketplace.

Appogee Content Approval for Google Sites (ACA) can be set up for any existing Google Site without having to make any changes to the site. ACA works as follows:
- The ACA spreadsheet generates a Content Submission Form and any content submitted is routed to a selected approver.
- The approver receives an email notification, which they can authorize or reject.
- Once authorized, the ACA spreadsheet writes the new content into the target Site using Apps Script’s Sites services. The new content is then visible to anyone with view permissions in the target site.

The content submission URL can be shared to any group or published directly on the target Google Site, which represents the end goal on the workflow diagram below. Content may only be submitted by users that are logged into your domain and content can only be published with Approver sanction.

Use Blooms Taxonomy Wheel for Writing Learning Outcomes
Do you have problems writing learning outcomes/objectives for your content or courses?
Or more specifically, do you have trouble finding the right ACTION VERBS to describe what you want your students to achieve from the course, module, topic or unit?
Have you tried using Blooms Taxonomy wheel(s) before to assist finding those magic action verbs?
New version (2014):

Also, please learn how to apply Blooms taxonomy to web 2.0 learning tools (and 21st Century learning):
Blooms Digital Taxonomy
"Its not about the tools, its using the tools to facilitate learning."
Finally, here are a few sites worth exploring to learn more about the Blooms taxonomy (if needed):
REFLECTION
I still remember when I started off as an Instructional Designer in 2001, I was required to assist subject matter experts (SME) in constructing learning objectives/outcomes. Especially, in the beginning it was a nightmare, because I struggled with finding and suggesting the appropriate action verbs. But then one of the senior instructional designers introduced me to Blooms taxonomy wheel(s), and from then on writing instructional sound learning outcomes has been as easy as eating rambutan.
When developing content with SMEs it certainly helps having relevant and agreed upon learning outcomes early on to guide the content development process. In other words, it is good to spend some time on constructing them, and not just creating them as an afterthought, because of some education ministry requirements.
I am not sure about your country, but in Malaysia the Blooms taxonomy is the reference that Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) recommend (a requirement to use!), and most Universities use it to construct learning outcomes with an eye on infusing more deep thinking (critical and creative), or higher order thinking skills (HOTS). As an action verb classification system I am fine, but I have low regard for Blooms taxonomy as a pyramid, whereby Evaluation (old version) is on the top. It is helpful, but to me it is misleading. But that, we can discuss in another post sometime in the future (However, your opinion about Blooms taxonomy would be highly appreciated).
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blooms_rose.svgWhy not print out the one you like most (not too many, due to the shortage of trees today!), or download the Blooms Taxonomy wheel images above, and then use them to find those magic action verbs that you might have struggled to find before. These wheels work much better than idiotic tables of action verbs according to Blooms taxonomy. Trust me!

Also, I would like to highlight that Clayton R. Wright has simplified the process in finding those magic action verbs. He found that many participants in his workshops found it easier to deal with a smaller number of categories than the six stated by Bloom. Some verbs can be found in several categories, but it depends on how they are used. Rather than use verbs at the lower-end of the skills spectrum, he suggests that emphasis should be placed on application and problem-solving skills. The list is not "a magic bullet", but it helps educators who have difficulty finding the word that describes what they want their students to achieve.
Click the graphic to enlarge it
When creating objectives for secondary and post-secondary courses, Clayton reminds his workshop participants to also consider the 21st Century Learning Outcomes developed by the League for Innovation and sponsored by the Pew Charitable Trusts. These learning outcomes were validated by 260 colleges in Canada and the United States. They cover a variety of skills such as technology skills, communication skills, computational skills, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, information management skills, interpersonal skills, personal skills, and community skills. All of these skills are important for those living in a digital world.
Although, learning outcomes usually helps in the content development process, but do they help or guide students in the learning process?
Lets recall our own experience as a student. To be honest, as a student I never gave two hoops about reading learning outcomes/objectives, whether they were in the course plan/guide/outline, courseware, or in a book. Neither can I recall discussing, nor listening to other students discussing about their learning outcomes. Well, that is my experience! However, it would be interesting if there was some actual research done on how students use learning outcomes to facilitate their own learning. Or perhaps they dont use them at all! So...
What do you think? Speak up! It is about time! Thank you :)

In short, for every learning problem (or issue) we have today, there is probably
a free tool or site out there that enables us to solve it. If not, I am pretty sure some genius out there is constructing it right now. If no one is doing it, perhaps we can do it.
a free tool or site out there that enables us to solve it. If not, I am pretty sure some genius out there is constructing it right now. If no one is doing it, perhaps we can do it.Another challenge is to integrate all our learning tools efficiently and effectively into our learning spaces. On the positive note, more and more tools are creating integration modules to widely used systems like Moodle and Facebook, so it might not be so difficult after all.

Top 10 Learning Sites for Yours T10LS
"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school."
- Albert Einstein
"See, heres the thing, though. I dont want 99 mind mapping resources, tools, and tips. I want one. That works. Really well. "
- Stephen Downes

CLUELESS?
To cut the crap short, and get to the point... It is amazing how many educators (that I have crossed path with) until today (Yes, already 2010!), who are clueless or know little about the amazing world of Open Educational Resources (OER)/Open Courseware (OCW) and learning tools. There are probably many reasons for that, so I am not going to go into that.
But, what I find even more shocking and troubling is educators who are also clueless about the amazing learning possibilities (tools and resources) within their own field/area/specialization/learning domain. I just hope you are not one of them.
No doubt we cant know and do everything, and there will always be new tools and resources blazing through in an ever growing global learning sharing stream. But, we should have some idea, or be open to explore new and innovative learning possibilities within our learning domain(s), because our students deserve it (or they will eventually desert us...).
WHAT TO DO?
So, how can we motivate or inspire educators to find and explore these new learning possibilities?
Peer pressure? Peer recommendation? Now, we are getting closer (I think!). Of course mambo jumbo lists are useful (e.g. OER), but for a busy educator it might be.... No time for that! Stephen Downess quote above makes sense!
But, what if we filtered out the juiciest learning resources and tools, and stamped our validation for use (or recommendation). Now, that would be interesting, wouldnt it? Instead of 1000, 100, it is narrowed down to digestible portions (unless you are Takeru Kobayashi!).
To set a digestible portion criteria, we could use the magical number of seven, but I am going to suggest no more than 10 for whatever... Anyway, we dont have to be too rigid on such things, but just be reminded that Less is often more (especially for learning). Look whos talking :)
For example, I am looking for excellent resources or tools to explore critical thinking, where to start? I know Stephen Downes is facilitating a Critical Literacies Online Course, and has published a widely used Guide to the Logical Fallacies. So, wouldnt it be great to have a juicy Top 10 (or anything less, or perhaps a bit more!) list of excellent critical thinking resources recommended by Stephen Downes as a starting point.
Of course, there are many more sites to explore, but having a great starting point validated or recommended by an expert wont harm anyone (would it?).
So, lets think bigger! What if more experts shared their filtered and recommended learning resource lists for their particular specializations or areas. Imagine great contextualized learning start points for Psychology, Medicine, Biology, Law, English, Creative thinking, critical thinking...(perhaps a bit more micro) you name it. Now, wouldnt that be useful?

MY TOP 10 LEARNING SITES FOR PERSONAL LEARNING
Here are 10 amazing learning resources to explore for personal learning, especially if you are into e-learning and learning (Not ranking, just numbering):
- EinzteinA wonderful starting point to find free online courses with a bit of spice from top Universities. Also, the Academic Porthole is a great starting point, as it also includes OER guides to several learning domains.
- iTunes U Here you can find more than 250,000 free lectures, videos, films, and other resources from many of the top Universities around the world. Since I am using an IPhone (and IPod), it is such a wonderful resource to feed me with recorded lectures for my long traffic jams every working day.
- YouTube EDU and Academic EarthYouTube has aggregated all of the videos from its college and university partners - including luminaries like Stanford, Harvard, and Dartmouth - in one place. Academic Earth is an educational video website with the goal of enhancing the usability and expanding the awareness of OER, focusing first on video lectures. Since most of its resources are aggregated from YouTube, I have mashed both into one. Also, you can even grade the lectures (A to F) on Academic Earth. Cool!
- TED TalksHundreds of inspiring talks by the some of the most innovative and amazing thinkers and doers the world has to offer. And 95.5% of these talks are 20 minutes or shorter, meaning they are perfect for mobile learning. How on earth can we ignore such a resource (after discovering it)?
- OLDaily (Stephen Downes)If you are looking for the latest news, trends, reflections, etc. in the (online) learning world, Stephen Downes is the ultimate synthesizer (that I have come across) of what is going on. I love the way he reflects and extracts the essence (or what he finds interesting) of all the articles, sites, tools, resources, etc. he discovers in his daily online newsletter (excluding weekends!). You might also want to also check out his homepage to discover all the other stuff he is doing, including his other excellent reflective blog (Half an Hour) and video recordings of all his presentations. While talking about Stephen Downes, we cannot ignore George Siemens and his elearnspace. He is the mastermind (together with Stephen Downes) behind Connectivism, the only learning theory that makes sense in the online learning world. His reflections and ramblings will keep you updated with e-learning, knowledge management, networks, technology, community development, and corporate learning.
- Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies (Jane Hart)If you want to find or know more about learning tools and how to use them to facilitate online learning that sizzles, then this site will serve you amazingly well. Janes E-Learning Pick of the Day is awesomely useful, and you wont be disappointed with her Tools Directory and Top Tools for Learning 2010. In addition, I love the fact that she provides us with a weekly round-up of the new learning tools added to the tools directory. Besides that you just have to check out her social media guides:
- Introduction to social media for learning
- Social Media for Workplace Learning
- How to use Twitter for Social Learning
- How to use Facebook for Social Learning
- Introduction to social media for learning
- The Rapid eLearning Blog (Tom Kuhlmann)
When you think about improving your rapid e-Learning, instructional design, PowerPoint or graphic creation skills, Tom Kuhlmanns Rapid eLearning blog provides you with a lot of great advice, tips, examples and short-cuts. Also, dont forget to get his free elearning ebook while you’re there. In short, this blog is easily my favorite Rapid e-Learning learning blog! No doubt about that! - ELearningLearning (Tony Karrer)It is not really a list, but an amazing aggregator of excellent workplace or corporate learning blogs and posts filtered out by Tony Karrer. Just subscribe to this one, and you are basically subscribing to tons of great corporate or workplace learning blogs out there. Actually, it is a blog post repository in itself, and you will find the indexing, Monthly top featured posts, best from.., etc. very exciting (Well at least I did!). It uses the Browse My Stuff technology to create this topic hub. Topic Hubs are sites that aggregates content from a variety of sources, organizes that content around keywords in the topic domain, and supports both manual and social curation of that content.
- Kapp Notes (Karl Kapp)If you want a blog that explores 3D learning, Second Life and learning games in general, this blog is certainly one of the best that I have come across.
- iLearn technology (Kelly Tenkely)This blog is dedicated to giving teachers practical tips for integrating technology into the classroom. The learning stories are short, sweet and digestible. Perfect for the busy educator. Kelly you rock!
Besides these awesome learning sites, there are tons of other outstanding bloggers, sites, tutorials, learning games and tools to explore, but having a good starting, or knowing what sites that consume most of my online learning time should not be any harm.
YOUR TOP 10 LEARNING SITES FOR _________?
Alright, that was my top 10 learning sites for personal learning. What about you? Do you have any amazing sites to share from your learning domain? If you are interested to participate, simply share your Top 10 list through your blog, or using any learning tool convenient for you. Then, either blast me a comment with a URL to your list, or perhaps tweet the URL to the list using the following Twitter hashtag:
If many of you want to participate, I will setup a wiki (using Google Sites), whereby we all can collaborate to build. Actually, it would have been cool if someone like Jane Hart could use her magic to create something similar to the Top Tools for Learning 2010 for learning sites. Now, that would be awesome!
If no one is interested, too bad! At least you can enjoy my top 10 (personal) learning sites list above. Perhaps, whatever I have said, already exists. What do you think? :)

WHAT ABOUT US?
WHAT ABOUT US?
Yes, the rest of the world!!!! Do, I need to mention another 175 countries. Why should applying for iTunes U services be discriminated based on country. It is simply insulting!!!! I took it with a pinch of insult in 2009 (explored possibilities), and hoped that eventually iTunes would open up their free services to Universities beyond those 21 countries, but until today (June 2010), nothing seem to have changed (please correct me, if I am wrong!).
But lets be positive! We are talking about iTunes U and the legend Steve Jobs here, so lets hope they will change for the better, and really carry out the democratization of expertise and learning beyond this little world of 21.
Stephen Downes, thanks for sharing...

Hulk 1 for PC full version with system requirements
Review
Adapting a board game for the PC is a tough task. Developers are faced with two big questions. Do we play it straight and narrow and just port the basic game? Or do we take advantage of all that the computer has to offer and rev things up with glitzy graphics and new features? You either play up to diehard fans who want nothing but a buttoned-down tribute or go after a wider audience that wants something more involved than the pixelated rehashing of an experience best had on the dining room table.
Full Control Studios went with the "straight and narrow" option in its take on the classic cardboarder Space Hulk. This version of the legendary Games Workshop release from the late 1980s is so locked into re-creating the ancient original that you might as well have dug the game out of a time capsule. The tension and strategic challenge that the original game did so well have weathered the years just fine, proving that the age-old Warhammer 40,000 battle between space marines and rampaging aliens is as compelling today as it was nearly 25 years ago. But the simplistic gameplay lacks the complexity and replayability of contemporary squad-based tactical sims, and the bottom-drawer production values are hardly befitting of such a great license. There is something dissatisfying about most everything here.
Still, this is Space Hulk. It may seem a little cheap, but all of the core elements of the board game are here. You get most of what was included in the box when the first edition hit stores in 1989. Whats here also closely resembles the two Space Hulk games that were released for both the PC and consoles back in the mid-90s. This is still a tactical game pitting the genetically augmented space marines of the Blood Angels chapter against hordes of Genestealer aliens who populate a mass of spaceship garbage, known as a space hulk, roaming the treacherous Warp.

C Program and Algorithm for Evaluation of a Postfix Expression
In postfix or reverse polish notation, every operator follows all of its operands. For example 5 3 2 * +.
Algorithm for Evaluation of Postfix Expression
Create an empty stack and start scanning the postfix expression from left to right.
– If the element is an operand, push it into the stack.
– If the element is an operator O, pop twice and get A and B respectively. Calculate BOA and push it back to the stack.
– When the expression is ended, the value in the stack is the final answer.
Also Read: C Program for Array Representation of Stack [Push, Pop and Display]
Also Read: Menu Driven C Program to Perform Insert, Display and Delete Operations on a Singly Linked List (SLL)
Evaluation of a postfix expression using a stack is explained in below example:
C Program for Evaluation of a Postfix Expression
//Assumption -- primary operators -,+,*,/,% operand -- a single digit
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#define MAX 20
typedef struct stack
{
int data[MAX];
int top;
}stack;
void init(stack *);
int empty(stack *);
int full(stack *);
int pop(stack *);
void push(stack *,int);
int evaluate(char x,int op1,int op2);

{
stack s;
char x;
int op1,op2,val;
init(&s);
printf("Enter the expression(eg: 59+3*)
Single digit operand and operators only:");
Single digit operand and operators only:");
while((x=getchar())!=
)
)
{
if(isdigit(x))
push(&s,x-48); //x-48 for removing the effect of ASCII
else
{
op2=pop(&s);
op1=pop(&s);
val=evaluate(x,op1,op2);
push(&s,val);
}
}
val=pop(&s);
printf("
Value of expression=%d",val);
Value of expression=%d",val);
}
int evaluate(char x,int op1,int op2)
{
if(x==+)
return(op1+op2);
if(x==-)
return(op1-op2);
if(x==*)
return(op1*op2);
if(x==/)
return(op1/op2);
if(x==%)
return(op1%op2);
}
void init(stack *s)
{
s->top=-1;
}
int empty(stack *s)
{
if(s->top==-1)
return(1);
return(0);
}
int full(stack *s)
{

C C Program for Fibonacci Series Using Recursion
Series 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 . . . . . . . is a Fibonacci series. In Fibonacci series, each term is the sum of the two preceding terms. The C and C++ program for Fibonacci series is given below.
C Program
#include<stdio.h>
int fibonacci(int n)
{
if((n==1)||(n==0))
{
return(n);
}
else
{
return(fibonacci(n-1)+fibonacci(n-2));
}
}
int main()
{
int n,i=0;
printf("Input the number of terms for Fibonacci Series:");
scanf("%d",&n);
printf("
Fibonnaci Series is as follows
");
while(i<n)
{
printf("%d ",fibonacci(i));
i++;
}
return 0;
}
C++ Program
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int fibonacci(int n)
{
if((n==1)||(n==0))
{
return(n);
}
else
{
return(fibonacci(n-1)+fibonacci(n-2));
}
}
int main()
{
int n,i=0;
cout<<"Input the number of terms for Fibonacci Series:";
cin>>n;
cout<<"
Fibonnaci Series is as follows
";
while(i<n)
{
