IBM MobileFirst Foundation provides two mechanisms to manage app versions and updates. Neither requiring you to write any additional code! The first is app versioning; MobileFirst Foundation tracks each version of an app that you deploy, and gives you the ability govern or restrict access to specific platforms and versions. App versioning applies to all apps, native or hybrid, on […]

So, What is IBM MobileFirst?
I’m still “the new guy” on the MobileFirst team here at IBM, and right away I’ve been asked by peers outside of IBM: “So, what exactly is MobileFirst/Worklight? Is it just for hybrid apps?” In this post I’ll try to shed some light on IBM MobileFirst, and for starters, it is a lot more than just […]
IBM Worklight Powered Native Objective-C iOS Apps
IBM MobileFirst Foundation (also known as IBM Worklight) is a middleware solution for developing mobile applications. Out of the box, Worklight enables security and authentication, device management, encrypted storage, operational analytics, simple cross platform push notifications, remote logging, data access, and more… Historically, most people think that Worklight is just for creating hybrid mobile (HTML-powered) applications. While […]
DevNexus 2014 PhoneGap Presentations
I’ve just wrapped up my presentations for this year’s DevNexus event in Atlanta – it has been a great event, filled with tons of information on web, mobile, and back-end development. I had 3 sessions on PhoneGap – One intro, one advanced, and one a mobile frameworks panel. Below are my presentations. I didn’t record […]
PhoneGap Presentations from HTML5DevConf
I was searching the web earlier this week for an older presentation from a few months back, and just happened to stumble across my recent presentations from HTML5DevConf from this past October. Looks like the videos were posted in November, but I’m just seeing them now. I had two sessions: Designing and Architecting PhoneGap and Mobile Web Apps […]
More Device Motion Experiments with HTML & Adobe DPS
I wanted to follow up my last post on 3D Parallax effects in HTML or Adobe DPS, I’ve decided to release some of the other experiments that I’ve been exploring with device motion in DPS publications. Check out the video below to see two new samples, and a corrected version of the strawberries example from […]
Photorealistic 3D Parallax Effects in HTML or Adobe DPS with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Edge Animate
A few weeks ago, a fellow Adobe colleague showed me a DPS publication that had an amazing design. All of the content looked great by itself, but what really made parts of it “pop” was that in certain areas there was a 3D parallax effect, which made it feel like you were looking into an […]
PhoneGap & Hardware Session Video now Available
The recording for my session “PhoneGap and Hardware” from PhoneGap Day back in July is now available! Be sure to check it out. There were apparently some issues with the audio, but you can still hear everything. I’d like to express a huge Thank You to everyone who attended, and to everyone who watches this video! […]
Status Tap/Scroll To Top in PhoneGap Apps on iOS
One criticism of PhoneGap apps that I sometimes hear is that they often don’t have “standard” features from the native operating system. Little things, like iOS’s ability to scroll a container back to the top, just by tapping on the operating system’s status bar. These types of features are not hard to add to a […]
New Version of My Halloween PhoneGap App
