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 […]

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 […]
New UI Article and Architectural Presentation on PhoneGap
A couple of PhoneGap related activities I’ve been up to recently… First, an article I recently wrote on Creating a Card-based UI in PhoneGap has been published on DZone. Be sure to check it out for some tips on creating the user interface, all with just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This covers both basic/static […]
Photoshop Zoomify in HTML, powered by Leaflet
I’ve been spending a lot of time with Photoshop recently… Whether it has been retouching video or images, creating panoramas, or working with my aerial photos, it has been a lot of fun. One thing that I’ve been doing is exporting really large images to the web. So far this has been a very manual […]
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
With Halloween less than a month away, I figured it’s about time to update my “Instant Halloween” PhoneGap sound effects app. I’m happy to say that the latest version is now out for both iOS and Android. It has a few new sounds, a new UI style, and has been updated for iOS 7. I […]
Porting A PhoneGap App To Firefox OS
About a year ago I released the Fresh Food Finder, a multi-platform mobile application built with PhoneGap. The Fresh Food Finder provides an easy way to search for farmer’s markets near your current location, based on the farmer’s markets listings from the USDA. This app has seen a lot of popularity lately, so I’m working […]
