RANT! rant ! Why Is Developing For BlackBerry Such A Pain?為什麼是發展黑莓這樣的疼痛?
I know I can’t speak from direct experience but this point just keeps on getting raised.我知道我不能發言,從直接的經驗,但是這一點,只是不斷得到提高。 The creator of BBSmart,創作者bbsmart , Neil, wrote a whole rant about his experiences with developing themes for BlackBerry尼爾,寫了一整個rant關於他的經驗與發展的主題黑莓 . 。 Personally I tried picking up some of the BlackBerry tools but even with my background in programming and graphic design I just threw in the towel.我個人試圖回升的一些黑莓工具,但即使我的背景在編程和圖形設計,我只是投擲在毛巾。
The shocking part is that Neil is already a veteran BlackBerry developer so he must have walked in with low expectations but even he was amazed.令人震驚的部分是,尼爾已經是一位資深的黑莓開發,所以他必須走在低的期望,但即使他感到吃驚。 In his words “Everything Sucks!”用他的話說: “一切sucks為” !
Turns out that Plazmic is riddled with bugs and can easily wipe out a users device.結果表明, plazmic是千瘡百孔的漏洞和可以輕鬆地消滅了一個用戶裝置。 Anybody have to reload their device due?任何人必須重新載入他們的設備,由於? It also has not been updated in over a year!!!它也尚未更新,在超過一年的!
All of these Plazmic 4.3 beta themes recently have shown that the new version offers a larger feature set but it seems to have th same stability bugs.所有這些plazmic 4.3試用版的主題,最近表明,這一新版本提供了一個較大的功能集,但似乎有次,同時穩定的臭蟲。 The crazy part is that RIM is already releasing themes using Plazmic 4.3 on their mobile.blackberry.com website.瘋狂的一部分,是RIM公司已經釋放的主題,使用plazmic 4.3對他們的mobile.blackberry.com網站。 Theme developers are telling me horror stories about what a Plazmic 4.3 theme can do to a device.主題開發商告訴我的恐怖故事,什麼是plazmic 4.3的主題,可以做的一個裝置。
Weirdly enough RIM seems to be fine with developers releasing Plazmic 4.3 themes for free but if they charge for them RIM sends in their legal department. weirdly足夠的RIM公司似乎是罰款與開發商釋放plazmic 4.3主題為免費,但如果他們負責為他們RIM公司發出在其法律部。
So did I get all the details right Neil?所以我得到的所有細節的權利,尼爾? Personally I just think this sucks that there is no end in sight for theme developers.我個人認為這只是sucks為有看不到盡頭為主題發展。 Or am I missing the silver lining.或我失踪銀內層。 Let me know!讓我知道了!

Heh, you always link to my ranty posts!港燈,你總是鏈接到我的ranty職位!
What shocks me the most is that even RIM is releasing dodgy themes.有什麼衝擊,我最重要的是,即使是RIM公司是釋放dodgy主題。 About a day or so ago you posted about how RIM had released a theme obviously built using Plazmic 4.5 (http://www.berryreview.com/2008/06/16/rim-just-released-another-nice-theme/).約1天或前你張貼有關如何RIM公司已經發布了一個主題,顯然建成使用plazmic 4.5 ( http://www.berryreview.com/2008/06/16/rim-just-released-another-nice-theme/ ) 。
I was there when this theme was announced on BlackBerry forums all over the place and I watched the carnage happen in real-time as people reported bricking their their devices, which happened to be running OS 4.5.我在那裡時,這個主題是宣布,黑莓論壇所有的地方和我看到大屠殺發生在實時的時間,作為人民的報導,砌體他們自己的設備,所發生的要運行OS 4.5 。 How funny/sad is it that a parent company is out there releasing software that bricks users devices.如何搞笑/可悲的是,一個公司的母公司是有釋放的軟件,磚頭用戶設備。
But yeah, I think you covered all my points well thanks Ronen!不過,嗯,我想你涵蓋了所有我的論點,以及感謝ronen !

I’ve posted about it elsewhere, but I’ll chime in just cuz I LOVE your RANT threads Ronen!我已經張貼有關它在其他地方,但我會附和,在短短cuz我愛你rant線程ronen !
It’s far more than just themes.它的遠不止剛才的主題。 Those are merely eye candy.這些都只是眼睛糖果。 It’s lack of applications that will diminish RIM’s user base FAR more than pretty pictures and icons.它的缺乏應用,將會減少RIM的用戶群遠多於漂亮的圖片和圖標。 RIM had better do something, and do it quick. RIM公司有較好的做點事,並做快速。 Their token 3rd party developer efforts are, I suspect, already DWARFED by what is being done by 3rd parties for the iPhone.他們的令牌第三黨發展的努力,我猜想,已經相形見絀正在做些什麼,由第三各方為iphone 。 The RIM SDK is a joke.周邊SDK是一個笑話。 RIM hasn’t taken the clue (at least publicly) of how badly just this ONE aspect of iPhone is going to hurt their future. RIM公司並未採取的線索(至少在公開)如何嚴重,這只是一個方面, iphone是去傷害他們的未來。 If there isn’ta sea change soon, I can’t imagine anyone but die hard Blackberry lovers staying in the BB development camp.如果不是海的變化很快,我不能想像任何人,但模具努力黑莓愛好者留在的BB發展的陣營。 With such easy tools to use (and arguably even WinMo devices are easier for which to develop) RIM is soon going to be left holding the bag being the ONLY ones developing anything to run on their hardware.這樣很容易使用的工具(甚至可以說是winmo設備更容易來發展)沿岸地區是盡快去留待舉行袋作為唯一的發展中國家來說,任何對他們的硬件產品。
Then again, might that actually be their intent???再說,可能會認為,其實他們的意圖? ? ?

Well, speaking as a relatively recent convert (I’ve been writing for BB about 5 months now), I’ve seen better dev.那麼,作為一個比較近期的轉換(我一直在寫作BB心跳約五個月) ,我看到了更好的開發。 environments and I’ve seen worse.環境和我見過更糟。
WRT the iPhone - that ain’t exactly a walk in the park either. wrt該iphone -這是不完全散步,在公園裡。 First you have to a) get a Mac because the SDK won’t work on anything else, b) learn/use Objective-C to write all the code and c) get somebody at Apple to call you back to give you a signing key (they’re “too busy” right now).首先,你必須一)擁有一台Mac ,因為SDK的工作將不會對任何其他二)學習/使用目的- C來寫的所有代碼和c )得到有人在蘋果叫你回給你一個簽字的關鍵(它們還可以“太忙”的權利,現在) 。 This, of course, doesn’t include having to spend the bucks for the actual device and inflated data plan (which is how they can afford to give it away for $200).當然,這並不包括有花雄鹿為實際設備和誇大數據計劃(這是他們如何能夠負擔得起給它距離為200美元) 。
What about Android?什麼Android公司? Great development environment but absolutely 0 customers probably until early next year.偉大的發展環境,但絕對零顧客可能至明年年初。

Gents, we have developed a secure delivery and secure forms app, which is a MIDP2 port of our normal java app…we only have two complaints: 1) we had to build some RIM API specifics into the API and (2) because of this we have to have a RIM build and a MIDP2 build for S60/Nokia and others. gents ,我們制定了一個安全的交付和應用程序的安全形式,這是一個midp2港口我們正常的Java應用程序… …我們只有兩宗投訴: 1 )我們要建立一些沿岸地區的空氣污染指數具體到的空氣污染指數及( 2 )因為這我們必須有一個環,建立和midp2建設s60/nokia等。 We have not have any experience with themes and plazmic, but the java sdk ain’t bad.我們已沒有任何的經驗,主題和plazmic ,但Java的SDK是不壞。

I ignored the warnings about 4.5, and attempted to install the BB theme on my poor baby. i忽略了警告,約為4.5 ,並試圖安裝的BB主題在我的貧窮的嬰兒。 I don’t have to tell you what happened.我手邊沒有告訴你,所發生的事情。 After the initial panic, I used my common sense and had it working in about 10 minuts.經過初期的恐慌,我用我的普通常識和它的工作在大約10分鐘。 Never again!永遠不會再!
