subject: How Web Developer Get Benefited From Ios 5.1 And New Ipad? [print this page] Arrival of new iPad with iOS 5.1 has already taken place. There is nothing new as such in this newly introduced iPad. However while developing web applications of new iPad one should remember its retina display that is a thing of consideration. The known browser of iOS i.e. Safari has nothing new introduced in it as compared with iOS 5, the previous version of iOS 5.1. Although it has not come up with major changes but it supports high resolution iPad efficiently unlike the previous versions.
New iPad is said to be consist of the resolution of about 2048 x 1536 which is considered to be a sufficiently high for web. Now the question arises that do we really need to alter our websites according to the new resolution? But this is not the case. Being a web developer you must be aware of the resolutions and their significance in ipad application development. Higher resolution does not at all means that your website will need a bigger display area. It is only related to sharpness in display and pixels density on the same screen. High resolution is useful in rendering effective gradients and CSS3 effects. A new attribute has been introduced by iPhone and Android that is known as pixel ratio. It helps to determine the high resolution images and resize them different platforms. By this phenomenon your image will become clearer on iPad 5.1.
Most of the web applications use same standard pixel ratio for web icons that are used as add ons on home screen of the web browser. Generally they are of the size 72 X 72 but in new iPad one can change it by the help same code and make it 144 X 144. This method provides higher resolution and clearer images of the apps on web browser. The code is as follows:
You can develop your websites based on the resolution of new ipad. Website can be developed in any language like if you want a platform of .net then you need to hire dot net developer and if you use php platform then hire php developer. Both the platforms are equally capable of handling high resolution website development.
One most important think that you need to consider while using high resolution image sin your website is that despite of providing clear pictures your website might work slow. This is due to the fact the higher the resolution the more is the size of object. It will take more loading time for the web page to display. Sometimes this problem will tend to make your device a poor performer. While using CSS3 and gradient effects in your style sheet you will need more memory on the device. Fortunately new iPad has overcome this problem with greater CPU processing and memory. It is a beneficial platform for web developers to develop new and innovative web applications. New version of iOS and iPad has provided various advantages to the developers of this area.
