If there is one thing that will stand the test of time, it's thumb placement on mobile devices. This makes consideration of the "thumb zone", a term coined in Steven Hoober's research, an important factor in the design and development of mobile interfaces. Have you ever interacted with a mobile website or app that simply didn't play nice with your thumbs? Perhaps you've had to stretch to get to an important menu, or swiping turned into a battle with multiple swiping elements. Mishaps such as these reveal poor consideration of the thumb zone.The post The Thumb Zone: Designing For Mobile Users appeared first on Smashing Magazine.

I recently sat down with Rock Zhang, a Chinese mobile entrepreneur. Rock is my classmate from business school, and we have both worked in the mobile industry for a while. In an age when the best marketing is good product management, Rock knows how to make millions of Chinese users fall in love with an app. I asked him to share his thoughts on app localization. For me, China has always been a hard market to crack. I've marketed several mobile apps in European and US markets, and my apps have been featured many times in the App Stores in Russia, Israel, Spain, Germany and the US. But in China, our growth was stalling, and I don't think we ever got a request for promotional artwork to be featured in the App Store. Truth be told, my "Asian expansion strategy" usually boiled down to hiring freelance translators through Elance to help me localize App Store pages in Chinese, Korean and Japanese.The post Five Rules Of App Localization In China: Money, Dating And App Store appeared first on Smashing Magazine.

On the TutsPlus.com site there's a new tutorial posted showing you how to use the Symfony Console component to create custom CLI commands. In this article, we're going to explore how you could create custom command-line interface (CLI) commands in your PHP applications using the Symfony Console component. After installing the necessary libraries, we'll create a few handful of examples to demonstrate the concepts of the Console component. In fact, this component is used by several PHP frameworks to develop CLI applications, and a few popular frameworks are already using this component as a starting point. The tutorial starts with a brief introduction to the Console component and what kind of features it offers. Following this it includes the instructions to get the component installed, configured and shows the creation of a first "hello world" command. With some of the basics in place, the tutorial then moves on to a more real-world example showing the creation of a "clear cache" command that includes a "groups" input option.
