Blog Abstract

In the posts to follow I plan to cover various Web and Mobile development topics including:

  • Erlang-based tools like Webmachine and Riak
  • Rhomobile’s Rhodes Framework, Rhosync Server, and Rhohub
  • BlackBerry RIM development
  • Location-based Social Applications or Community Applications
  • Sustainable Computing
  • Platform as a Service Providers
  • The Future of JavaScript
  • and more

Technical topics will be kept short and sweet in order to provide quick guides/tutorials. I am not going to claim any technology reviewed here as being the only solution but I will attempt to show when and how to use them.
