Having a bit of trouble figuring out what I need to do, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm wanting to start developing an application (similar to Siggy, W-space mapper, etc).
My background with development is almost entirely in C++ and C#. I've never done any amount of browser programming so I'm not exactly sure what I need to even start researching.
Anyone have any good resources? |

The main thing to know is:
The IGB is just a browser. No flash or any other plugins, but nothing particularly special about it. It has some special javascript functions, and a few special headers, but many things don't need any of them.
Pick a language to code in. C# is a viable one, for web development. You /will/ need a firm grasp of html, with a fair grasp of javascript and css (if you want any client side logic at all, and for it to look at all nice)
Have a peek at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/605634/would-c-sharp-be-a-good-language-to-learn-for-web-development Steve Ronuken for CSM 9!-á I'm starting early :) Handy tools and an SDE conversion Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |

Heh, you are in a similar position as I was when I started with upro. Most of the things I've learnt the hard way and along the path I came across a few helpful things that I wished I've had found earlier.
One StackOverflow answer that I came across read something like this "When engaging in JavaScript, watch Douglas Crockford on YUI Theater, go directly there, do not pass Go and collect 200$": http://yuilibrary.com/theater/?start=231 - specifically this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ifWcnQs6M He has also two specific JavaScript book recommendations (His own book and "JavaScript, the definitive guide", now in 6th ed.) - I've read them and they are very suitable for starting.
As for HTML & CSS, find some good books/resources on them. My recommendation in general: Oreilly books.
There are also a few online learning resources dedicated to teach you programming in JavaScript. I didn't check them out but are said to be adequate.

If you're familiar with C# then I would personally take a look at MVC4. Go through some of the examples and you'll have a good feel for how to put a web application together. From there you can work out how to acheive your web project for EVE.
The IGB is basically a version of Google Chrome. So you have most of the rendering and scripting capabilities available.
The most notable difference I have found between IGB and Chrome appart from the lack of plugins (e.g. Flash) is that you don't get access to localStorage. This becomes a pain if you want to cache large data blobs on the client. Fleet-Up.com - Your fleet operations, on steroids. |
