Skitch, my favorite screenshot generator/editor, is now available on the iPad! You can quickly annotate images from your Camera Roll or use the built-in web browser or Google Map viewer to create new screenshots. Once complete, you can send your creation to an external display using AirPlay, or share via Twitter, Email, or Evernote.
In preparing for my beginning iOS development workshop last month and the upcoming Web Design for Mobile devices course (fall 2011), I’ve been accumulating links to various resources that I think will be helpful for new mobile developers. Currently the list of resources is more geared towards native app development, but I will be adding mobile web resources to the list as I continue to develop the course. if you know of a resource I should add, please feel free to leave a comment below.
