There are a few things in my pipeline that I’m working on and should have posted shortly. Here’s a quick look at what I have in store for the next few posts:

iPhone Graphics

The iPhone OS is based on the same foundation as Mac OS X and it can be seen straight through to the SDK that’s going to unleash hundreds of quality applications to the platform in coming weeks. Since the iPhone is a completely new product, it gives Apple a great opportunity to test out new ideas from user-end features such as Multi-Touch all the way down to the way to draw graphics to the screen. One area that I will explore is the differences between drawing graphics in Mac OS X and the iPhone.

Bundled AJAX Requests

Recently, I finished my series on my PHP AJAX Framework. Like many software projects, it is work in progress and will continue to be until it is absolutely perfect (aka never). In my spare time, I have been thinking of different scenarios where multiple requests made sequentially could be unnecessarily queued up when instead they could be sent as a single request. This is fairly easy because of some assumptions we can make about what the developer and user should be expecting when they make these requests. I will talk about the thought process that went into the addition and post a code update.
