programming software - A programming tool or software development tool is a program or application that software developers use to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support other programs and applications.
smart card - A plastic card with a built-in microprocessor, used typically for electronic processes such as financial transactions and personal identification
- a plastic card containing a microprocessor that enables the holder to perform operations requiring data that is stored in the microprocessor; typically used to perform financial transactions
- A smart card, chip card, or integrated circuit card (ICC), is any pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits. There are two broad categories of ICCs. Memory cards contain only non-volatile memory storage components, and perhaps dedicated security logic.
- (Smart Cards (Chip Cards)) There are various types of Smart Cards, sometimes called Chip Cards. Electronic chips allow these credit cards to function in different ways: as credit cards, debit cards, frequent buyer or rewards program cards, I.D. cards, or any combination. Many college I.D.

Beginning Smartphone Web Development: Building JavaScript, CSS, HTML and Ajax-based Applications for iPhone, Android, Palm Pre, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Nokia S60
Today’s Web 2.0 applications (think Facebook and Twitter) go far beyond the confines of the desktop and are widely used on mobile devices. The mobile Web has become incredibly popular given the success of the iPhone and BlackBerry, the importance of Windows Mobile, and the emergence of Palm Pre (and its webOS platform). At Apress, we are fortunate to have Gail Frederick of the well-known training site Learn the Mobile Web offer her expert advice in Beginning Smartphone Web Development. In this book, Gail teaches the web standards and fundamentals specific to smartphones and other feature-driven mobile phones and devices.
Shows you how to build interactive mobile web sites using web technologies optimized for browsers in smartphones
Details markup fundamentals, design principles, content adaptation, usability, and interoperability
Explores cross-platform standards and best practices for the mobile Web authored by the W3C, dotMobi, and similar organizations
Dives deeps into the feature sets of the most popular mobile browsers, including WebKit, Chrome, Palm Pre webOS, Pocket IE, Opera Mobile, and Skyfire
By the end of this book, you’ll have the training, tools, and techniques for creating robust mobile web experiences on any of these platforms for your favorite smartphone or other mobile device.
What you’ll learn
Build interactive mobile web pages that comply with industry standards and best practices.
Develop web sites using the markup languages of the mobile Web: XHTML-MP, Wireless CSS, and WML.
Use Mobile JavaScript and Ajax for client-side web interactivity.
Adapt the syntax and design of mobile web pages to target smartphone models.
Enhance mobile web pages to target advanced features of smartphone browsers.
Validate and compress mobile markup to optimize for network transmission and browser performance.
Simulate smartphone browsers using emulators and development tools.
Who this book is for
Mobile application developers and their managers need to learn mobile web technologies because it’s in their economic interest. Time-to-market and opportunity costs are significantly lower for web-based mobile applications than for native ones.
Desktop web developers at software companies and IT departments of non-technology businesses need to learn mobile web technologies to meet the demands of managers who will soon be asking them to “mobilize this web site.” These developers will want to do the minimum work possible to maximize the compatibility of their mobile web sites. The standards-based approach advocated in this book will allow them to build gracefully adaptive and portable mobile web experiences that perform well across mobile browser platforms.

k8048
successfully programmed a PIC12F509 via K8048, and new software. this software is rather 'toxic', as it would be possible (in theory), to program smart cards, means ATM and pay TV, if you only would have 'the codes'. well i do not have them, and also i do not have a set-top box for pay TV. but it is the same technology- which should be treated as if 'the man would be inside'. no really. superstition and matrix- all three sequels.. in the order matrix 3, matrix 1, matrix 2 i have three programmers now, my USB module can not access baseline PIC anymore- because of firmware update, which is not backwards compatible. luckily, new software can program many PIC variants using the K8048 from VELLEMANN (purchased via MAPLIN). also there is a picture of this programmer PCB..two pictures from here. oh yes, i must say, for superstition reason, i do not use this K8048 directory anymore for new projects. the old software still resides..including supplied example code!
