I did a quick look at download statistics for MathTerms at iTunes, Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I was way surprised! I expected many downloads for iPad and not so much for Android. Turns out that Barnes and Noble Nook users downloaded it over 5,000 times in December and over 25,000 times in the the […]

I have been looking at node.js for Javascript on the server and a no-sql DB, CouchDB. Lots of info out there for installing on the raspberry-pi BUT, most info is out of date. Make sure you check dates and versions before following any compile &/or install instructions! As of January 21, 2013, I have found

Barnes and Noble is preparing an educational apps initiative. Seemed like a good time to make sure MathTerms works well on the Nook. I’ve done a bit of updating to the UI and fixed a couple of minor layout issues. Should be submitted for the Nook Storefront very soon…

I’ve been making good progress on porting MathTerms to the Android OS with the goal of running on Amazon’s new Kindle Fire device. It should also be able to run on the Nook when done — I hope 😉 I have most of the logic and user interface implemented. Here are a couple of screen

Argh! I wanted to move my MathTerms app to Android — specifically the Kindle Fire. OK, I can create a new “term” window and make it look and act like an iPad split/detail window. Not too hard to do but takes effort to make it look nice and act well. When I went to read

MathTerms was written using Appcelerator Titanium so that I could deploy on iOS devices or Android devices. It does need substantial screen real estate, however, to see graphics and text — i.e. is really designed for tablets. Amazon has finally announced the Kindle Fire. I am in the process of porting to Android. As Amazon

A while back, I discovered the Miniot Cover for the iPad 2. This cover is made in Holland from a single piece of real wood. It costs “only” $70, so I ordered one in early April. It finally showed up June 30th — and it IS beautiful. I chose a “Standard Series” Padouk wood cover.
The iPad appication, “MathTerms” is now live and available on iTunes. For more information and support, you can use the top navigation menu to go to Apps -> MathTerms. It took a week after submitting the app to Apple to get into the review queue but only about a day to actually review it. I’m
