Joining Adobe!

I’m pleased to announce that as of next week (July 26th) I will be joining Adobe as a Technical Evangelist, with an emphasis on enterprise mobile applications! Many of you know that I’ve been passionate about the Adobe ecosystem for quite a few years… I became really involved late in the Macromedia days, and have worked with Flex since 1.5 and Flash since version 3 (now working on version 11). I’ve had the opportunity to work on some incredible projects, and a lot has changed throughout this time. I have been fortunate to witness the changes throughout the web that have been made possible by Adobe’s technologies, and I’m even more excited that I now get to play a part in it.

In the last year I have primarily focused on mobile application development (both phone and tablet paradigms)… native Objective-C for iOS, HTML5, Appcelerator Titanium, PhoneGap, a little bit of native Android, and (last, but most definitely not the least) Adobe AIR for mobile (BlackBerry, Android, and iOS). Now, I am excited to use this experience to show how Adobe’s technologies can be used in web, desktop, and mobile scenarios, for building incredible applications on multiple platforms, with an easy-to-use and extremely powerful development paradigm.

I’d also like to take a moment to thank my current employer, Universal Mind, for the opportunities that I’ve had while working here. While with UM I have had a great experience, and I wish them many great successes in the future. It has been an awesome time, and I’ve had the good fortune of being a part of some ground-breaking and exciting projects (while also getting to work with some of the best and brightest in the consulting and design industry).

This is an exciting opportunity, and I am happy to share it with all of you. If you ever are in need of information or best practices regarding Adobe and/or mobile, please do not hesitate to ask!

Until next time…

Blog Updated!

Well, hello again everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve been active on this blog (tricedesigns.com). This is the first post at this location in nearly 2 years. As I was writing for insideria.com this blog began to suffer. If you’re wondering where the old content has gone, I’ve decided to take it down.  All of my content which was formerly at insideria.com is now available at developria.com.

I migrated this site from the old Blogger hosting since they decided to no longer support FTP publication, and a lot of the content that I had here was from 2006-2009, so a fair amount of it was outdated. If there was something that you really miss, please let me know, and I will dig it up, update and re-post.

Expect to see this blog become a lot more active, with some significant updates in the near future. I have some exciting announcements coming soon, and you can expect to find a lot of content regarding mobile applications, mobile paradigms, and their applicability in the enterprise.
