/0 Comments/in /by

touchbee now offers development of new projects for iOS in either Objective-C or Swift. Swift is a new programming language introduced by Apple this summer to replace Objective-C as the main language to develop iOS apps. Some of the advantages of this new languages are:

  • Closures unified with function pointers
  • Tuples and multiple return values
  • Generics
  • Fast and concise iteration over a range or collection
  • Structs that support methods, extensions, protocols.
  • Functional programming patterns, e.g.: map and filter

More information about Swift can be found on Apples official Swift website: https://developer.apple.com/swift/

It helps local musicians by providing different tools to get in touch with each other and stay connected.

musicr is a mobile app, that provides a new way of bringing together musicians. Taking advantage of the phones location awareness feature, musicr can find musicians of any level that are close by. The app makes it very easy to search for new band members, people that just want to hang out to jam or students that are interested in practicing together.

The app tries to suggest best matching local musicians by looking at the musicians profile which includes what they are looking for, favorite music styles and what instrument they play.

Furthermore musicians can share updates with their friends and see what others are saying and doing, like talking about an upcoming gig or making progress learning a new song. All those updates can easily be shared with Facebook friends. The app even allows to add information about the musicians instruments and upload photos to share with others.

PicoBoo update coming soon

We just added two exciting new features to both of our PicoBoo and PicoBoo Lite iPad apps and are waiting for Apples approval to roll this update out to you.

Dropbox support

You can find this new option in the ‘Share’ menu within the gallery. It allows you to save any sketches and drawings that you created conveniently to your Dropbox folder, which automatically gets synchronized with your other Dropbox enabled computers. If you don’t know what Dropbox is, check out their free service.

Apple AirPrint support

Another addition to the ‘Share’ menu. Enables you to print your entire framed drawing the way you see it in the app with an Apple AirPrint compatible printer wirelessly right from your iPad. Learn more about Apple AirPrint.

touchbee.com Makeover

/0 Comments/in /by

touchbee Solutions has updated its website, can you tell? Our initial web presence has been there for almost two years, and we thought it is time to give it a new look. Our 1.0 version was built with Joomla!, and while Joomla! is a great Content Management System aka CMS, it was time to move on to something that is somewhat easier to manage and use. Since we’ve already worked with WordPress during the last couple months on some other websites, it just made sense to go that direction. We’ve got a new mobile app Portfolio page, highlighting some of our mobile work to date. We hope you find it useful and are looking forward to your feedback!
