I’d like to take a moment and introduce “Walkable Restaurants” (or just “Walkable” as I like to call it), a new application that I built to demonstrate how to create PhoneGap applications using Backbone.js.

Folding HTML Views in App-UI
A few months back I released App-UI, a UI container toolkit for creating HTML experiences. It gives you common “view navigator” paradigms for mobile experiences… a view navigator stack that can push and pop views, a split view navigator, and a “sliding view” like Facebook’s iOS experience. All of which are created entirely with […]

Using HTML/JS Templates to Generate More Than Just HTML
I recently worked on an application that was used to demonstrate the process of capturing data from a mobile application created using PhoneGap, and pushing that data into a LiveCycle server’s workflow engine. Since my data was being captured and stored locally as JSON objects, I asked myself “why can’t I use a template to […]
“Open With” in iOS PhoneGap Apps
Let’s say that you have a PhoneGap app that has access to documents, but you want to open those documents in a different application outside of your PhoneGap application. For example, let’s say you have a DRM-protected PDF document that gets authenticated by an Adobe LiveCycle server. On iOS devices, the DRM can […]

Emulating PhoneGap/Cordova Apps in the Desktop Browser
Earlier this month the PhoneGap team held the first PhoneGap day. This was in part to celebrate the release of PhoneGap 2.0, but more importantly to bring together members of the PhoneGap community to share and learn from each other. There are great recaps of PhoneGap Day from RedMonk, as well as on the […]
Using Adobe Edge Animations As Components
You’ve probably heard of Adobe Edge, a timeline-based tool for creating interactive and animated HTML content. Edge enables you to easily create interactive experiences that rely only on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If you’ve used other Adobe Creative Suite tools, such as Flash Professional, Premiere, or After Effects, then Edge will probably look quite familiar. […]

MegaList jQuery Plugin
I’ve been working on lots of different projects lately. On several of them, I’ve had the need for a reusable list component. In some cases, it needed to handle a large data set, in others it just needed to be self-contained and easy to use. Out of these projects came MegaList: a reusable list […]
