Re: [WikimediaMobile] Mobile App for the Kingdom Hearts Wiki

Hi. I’m KeybladeSpyMaster, and I’m an editor at the *Kingdom Hearts Wiki* <http://www.khwiki.com/>. I’m writing because we recently updated our home page, which raised the concern about it’s appearance on mobile devices. That created a interest/desire in a mobile app, which I’m venturing/experimenting in doing. However, I’m not very knowledgeable in coding or anything of the like; it’s something I’d like to learn, and something I hope to learn through this project. However, I don’t currently know it, and I’m having trouble creating this app. I have a couple of questions that I hope you will be able to help me with, but I think some information on my efforts is in order, so that you may understand my situation and hopefully be able to guide me in the right direction. *Efforts* - I’m trying to develop the app for Windows 8.1 first, since I’m familiar with that environment and design. In fact, I’ve already designed the UI on paper. I hope to be able to expand to Android, I just can’t right now because the Eclipse software will not run on my computer right now, and I don’t understand why. I’ve got no experience or knowledge of iOS apps, so I personally do not have plans of going there right now. - Since I learned a little C# in school, I’m trying to code the app in C#/XAML - I’ve downloaded the source code for the Wikipedia app, hoping that it would help me. However, I don’t really understand HTML/JavaScript enough to know what it is that goes on in the app, and how it’s able to extract the information from the website. *Concerns* I’m hoping you could help me at least understand how to get the app to access the information from the wiki and display it on the app in a similar fashion to how the Wikipedia app does so now. Also, I know the Wikipedia app is in HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Would I have to switch to HTML/CSS/JS to code the app, or would it be okay to still try in C#/XAML? I personally am more comfortable in C#/XAML because it’s easier for me to design the UI in C#/XAML than in any of the other languages.
