A local contractor wrote this blog entry. He's quite web savvy, so his
research is also sound. It would be good to follow up on his progress.

Good practices for creating online help for mobile devices. My blog:

Here are a couple of services that can wrap HTML, CSS & javascript sites as
mobile apps. This starts to get into the Code once publish many question.
Also would mean that you'd create HTML-based help the app devs could lump
in with their code.

Services:
http://appart.io
https://build.phonegap.com (Nitobi)

I haven't used these personally but learned about them during a mobile
browser presi put on by the New York state Forum a few weeks ago.

Hello all,


I've just begun investigation on developing Help for a

mobile enterprise application that will be developed to work on

Android, iOS, and Blackberry. The development team is looking at a

'Code once - compile several times' approach.


Not having worked on Help for mobile apps so far, I am not sure of

the best tool to do this, nor of the best approach. What makes

sense: Page/Screen level help, or a Help file, or field-sensitive

help? How can I integrate the Help with the application?


I'd appreciate if folks can share their experiences and opinions to

help me decide.


regards,

Reshma
