Design is a bit like art…everyone has their own opinions and preferences. Its never easy to design for a website or mobile app and in my experience it is something that constantly evolves up until the point of release. With the fairly recent release of Apple’s iOS7 and the increased popularity of flat design, it […]

— This post was written by Arunangsu Chatterjee — This project aims to develop a novel comic book called ‘Enzyme Digest’. It is based on the enzymes of the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract and aimed at first year medical students. Each enzyme has been granted a character to enhance the learner’s memory and recall. The comic book […]

In my previous post I wrote about the most important aspects in mobile development in general as well as some specifics to the project in hand. In this post I will drill down into finer detail as to the available options based on the list of development time, performance, style, accessibility options, support and documentation. […]

One of the biggest areas to research for this project is deciding which tool is best for the job. Over recent years there are many popular tools and frameworks that support mobile app development and with HTML5 becoming ever popular and accepted (particularly for web developers), the available options are becoming hard to keep track […]
