10 IPhone Apps For Web Designers and Developers

23. Oct, 2009 0 Comments

Many web designers and developers own an IPhone, having an “app for just about anything” is a great tool and very handy when your on the move, or like me working in coffee shops ! I have many apps on my IPhone related to web design and development, whilst they do not always provide a solid explanations they are great for quick referencing to help jog the memory.

PHP Ref

PHP Ref boasts an offline PHP reference for the IPhone, it claims it references all standard 5149 PHP functions. That’s a lot of reading!

MySQL Cheat Sheet

This app goes perfectly with PHP Ref and PHP Cheat Sheet, it provides a very handy reference to MySQL.

PHP Cheat Sheet

Made by Concentric Sky, this app is great ff you’re just starting out on PHP or like me, you want a quick PHP reference. The app has a low start rating on the Apple store, primarily because it is lacking more complex descriptions, however essentially its just an app, designed as a quick reference tool.

ISSH

Quite a few terminal apps built for the iPhone already exist, this one (ISSH) seems to stand above the rest. It costs $4.99 from Zingersoft, which is fairly expensive for design and development apps. With this SSH Client for the iPhone you can remotely connect to other machines, great for admins or anyone who wants to work on a remote server.

JQuery Cheat Sheet

If your new to JQuery or find it hard to remember, this app actually allows you code and test on the IPhone app. This app is great to learn with and as an experimentation tool.

JavaScript Cheat Sheet

Many seasoned web developers need a quick refresher course in JavaScript methods, properties and syntax from time to time.
The cheat sheet includes descriptions, properties and methods for working with strings, dates, arrays, math, DOM, regular expressions, and many more.

CSS Cheat Sheet

Great for a quick CSS reference, or a some light bedtime reading to refresh your CSS skills, this CSS cheat sheet is written and reviewed by professional web developers and designers that use CSS on a daily basis.

What The Font

If your out and about and see a great font, then “What the Font” for the IPhone is a great tool to find out what font is used. Take a photo on your IPhone, and WhatTheFont for iPhone will identify that font.

Analytics

If your a stats junkie like myself then you can get to all of your reports and data with Analytics App for the iPhone. Whether you’re on the road, in a meeting, or sitting on the throne, Analytics App gives you quick and easy access to your analytics data.

Bill4Time

Need to keep track of time spent working for clients ? Maybe you need to track all of the “unlimited revisions” you promised. Bill4Time will allow you to successfully manage your time spent.
