Webapps are basicaly small applications running in the web browser. To make a webapp you simply need to know a little of HTML and Javascript.

First – something to laugh about:

Now, some people have created a starter kit, called iTemplate and are selling it for $199 !!!
Are you kidding me? $199 for a simple HTML page and an image?
Now here is what they write:

Do you want to create your own web app website but you don’t know how? Even if you have only a little website creation experience, you can create your own web app website with our new iTemplate starter kit!

What comes in the kit?

We give you an HTML template file, sample image files in various formats, links to important creation and submission information, and a document explaining just how to create your web app and submit it. We give you information that our design company has learned since day one of our online experience.

Now i seriously hope this is some kind of a joke, and nobody will actually be stupid enough to buy it. I can’t even understand how could Apple release it into their webapps page.

Want to see it for yourself?

And now – something usefull:

Well, that iTemplate thing was pretty amusing until it comes down to you – how do you start? Well, if you really need some kind of template to start from – do not worry – there are actually some good templates available for free, just like it should be.

I present you iWebkit 3.0 http://iwebkit.net/ — a good template under constant development that will help you get started with developing webapps for your iPhone and even let you easily create some cool effects for your webapp
