I would like to make a Facebook fan page into a stand-alone iOS app.
Is there an easy way or template to make it so?
Thank you so much in advance!
Simple way to do this is, create a project with only one view drag and drop UIWebView and just link your Facebook fan page to it.
Well, no.
But there are a lot of tools to ease the pain from 'no coding required' to phoneGap (wraps your html, css and javascript for the iPhone) and Titanium (compiles your html, css and js to native app code).

I am new to Phonegap to develop native Applications. I cant see any jQuery files under WWW folder. Why should i download it?
Is it possible to bring UITabBar, UITableView everything through Phonegap and javascript without jQuery? What is senchaTouch, what is the purpose of it? Anybody can give clear direction?
jQuery is not required to make apps with PhoneGap. However, if you would like to, you can use jQuery in your apps if you wish (jQuery just uses Javascript itself).
UITabBar and UITableView are native iOS controls. PhoneGap does not provide a way for you to use those at the moment. But if you take a look at the PhoneGap roadmap, you will see a bullet point marked "Native Controls" - so don't give up hope!
is it possible to create a UI for a facebook app using qooxdoo or anything similar?
Thx, Sven Koluem
Yes, you can use Javascript frameworks with Facebook, it is a little bit tricky but possible. If you use qooxdoo or any other library in iframe, there is no problem. But if you want to use them in native code, then you have problems.
Here is a link about using Jquery in Facebook apps:

I'd like to make some in-app help for my iPad app so I'm looking for examples of other apps that do it well. If I look the help for the Apple Pages app on my iPad, it opens the following url:
http://help.apple.com/iwork/mobile/interface/#tan724868a9
This looks like a native app in Safari on iPad. How did Apple make their html help page look like that? Is this simply a dashcode implementation or is there some other way to display native looking help via html in an iPad app?
It's just HTML/CSS/Javascript, but you could take a look at jQTouch for something similar, or the just-announced jQuery Mobile.
Is there any reference about writing an application on iPad/iPhone to show HTML5 content ?
Any reference book
Sample source codes
Which components should I use ?
Million Thanks.
There already is an app on the iPad and iPhone for showing HTML5 content: Safari.
If you want to show specific HTML5 content within an app, just use a UIWebView.
Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
I have a couple of html links attached to buttons in my app.
I'm just wondering whats the best practice for following a html link in an iphone app.
I'm not sure if the app should exit and open safari or if a web container should be used etc.
There's no real best practice, it's whatever you think your users would appreciate. Some apps offer the best of both worlds, by putting a UIWebView in their app to view web content and then a button to open the same page in Safari.
