purpleplanet – Software Solutions is looking to take on an OSX/Mobile App Junior Developer. This is not a full-time position. You will be working on a project basis, with a price agreed before each project commences.
We are preferably seeking someone who is still learning the ropes. We have a large, non-time critical project, which will allow you to significantly increase your development skills on a real project.
Don’t apply if you’re a company or third-party agency. We are looking for a junior with some basic experience, who needs an opportunity to develop their skills in an expanding role.
You should be able to work from home, to an agreed schedule, under your own supervision and be prepared to “check in” on a regular basis with updates.
Please contact us directly if interested. Be prepared to show your portfolio!

You may have a wonderful (perhaps even fairly new) website, but is it as up to date as it can be?
Many web developers have their tried and tested ways of building a website. They’ll open up Photoshop, or similar, create a 960 pixel-wide canvas and throw everything at it, until they and their customer are happy with the look. This then gets cut up and a template or HTML site is created and checked in the latest versions of Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari and so on.
So, how about mobile? Do you know what your website looks like on an iPhone, iPad, Android or Windows Mobile? Read More

“Social Media” – a ‘buzzphrase’ of our generation. Are you plugged in? Are you connected? Can I add you? Texting has exploded and its (possibly ugly) children have taken over the digital world.
Everyone reading this post is registered with at least one social media network. Most of you with two or more. Several of you with more than ten. Yes, more than ten social networks or tools. We now need to be connected, wherever we are and whatever we’re doing. Tweeting, liking, checking in, +1ing (is that even a word?!) recommending, lolling.
Just in case some of you don’t believe me, I’m not the biggest social media user in the world – trust me, there are some REAL addicts out there. Read More
