So I think I have uncovered something major. In my iOS security app for the preschoolers, I plan to include or make a separate app for looking at curriculum. I WAS going to download to the local app an html page, scrape the links, download those resouces, change the local html page links to local links and – voila- an offline app. Genious … well, it has already been invented with html5 (isn’t it always the way). \u00a0I noticed it while looking up how to specify local iOS urls<\/a>\u00a0(see part where it says CSS Ninja).<\/p>\n

Here are 2 EXCELLENT articles and Q&A’s below them. I am going to try this- it is exactly what I need to make the curriculum offline. Why, if I am reading\/reviewing with my kids do I need curriculum offline. I am an at-home and not a circus dad you might say . . . yes, but my wireless router is in the basement and I have a 3 year old with a 3 year old attention span and so do many other parents out there. 3G is still quite slow and I am not sure when Telus here in Calgary is going 4G – besides when the wifi is going in and out and has 1\/2 the bars – the phone is so busy establishing which network to use, that it does not download any webpages. Also typing into my facebook app the different sets of curriculum for 3 different kids ages that I require is tedious and annoying – one page that links all of this? Great – just what I need. This offline approach is just what I need I hink and other need as well from small interviews I had with other dads (moms don’t do this techno-learning quite as intensely). Read on over the next while to see how things are going. I am going to serve up the pages and manifest files with php.<\/p>\n

The 2nd is beyond a stunning example of someone who knows what he is doing and is referenced by the 1st in the comments as to why things are not going well. Read them in the following order.<\/p>\n
