Web Development for iPhone: pretty standard affair

When the iPhone came out, developers wanted to know how they would program it.

Steve Jobs told them: web standards.

Someone posted a helpful entry in their blog that showed the user-agent string that the iPhone sends to web servers to identify its browser.

The blog post also shows how to tune the CSS and Javascript that go along with your XHTML web pages in order to make them extra-friendly to the Apple iPhone that millions of people already own.

So if you are a web developer, you might want to take a gander at Web Development for the iPhone. Then you can make millions of people a little extra happy with your site. Might make your boss a little extra happy with you!

Just imagine them saying, "I heard our site works really well with that Apple iPhone and the new iPod! Did you do anything special for that?" - and being able to say, "Yeah, but not much really - it was very easy."
