Trials and tribulations of software development…
If you attended our JavaScript Frameworks session at Adobe MAX 2013 and would like the session resources, you can find them here:
1) The presentation slides
2) The AngularJS sample Wine Cellar application
3) The Ember.js sample Wine Cellar application
Also see Christophe’s blog for the links to his github account where you can find the Backbone.js and jQuery Mobile versions of the wine cellar... 
Recently AngularJS, an MVC style JavaScript framework from Google, has been gaining more momentum. I’ve been curious about it for awhile and when I read this article recently, I decided it was finally time to give it a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. I first watched these two videos by John Lindquist which I highly recommend as a starting point to get your feet wet. They are... 
Brian Rinaldi at the Adobe Developer Connection (ADC) has recently put together a free monthly newsletter to help keep you up to date on all the latest and greatest content available on the ADC. The topics span a variety of subjects including HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, Mobile Development, PhoneGap, Responsive Design and more. The January newsletter can be found here. To start receiving this newsletter, simply... 
I’m happy to post today there is now support for a generic push notifications plugin for PhoneGap Build. The new plugin is called PushPlugin and works for both iOS and Android push notifications. The iOS support is based on the Apple Push Notifications Service (APNS) and the Android support is based on Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). This has been a highly awaited need and I’m so glad I can... 
Our team has been busy working on a new initiative called Adobe TechLive, a place where we’ll be hosting interactive online webinars on various topics. Some upcoming topics include Adobe’s Create the Web tour introducing Adobe’s latest new tools and web technologies, a PhoneGap Open Session where you can come to get your questions answered about PhoneGap, PhoneGap Build and mobile... 
Recently I blogged about sending push notifications via the Pushwoosh service and specifically with PhoneGap applications. While working with the service I noticed it had something built in for setting up geozones for your push notifications (aka: geofencing). If you’re not familiar with this term, it’s basically the ability to send push notifications to a device when it’s in a certain... 
I recently posted regarding the use of Push Notifications on both iOS and Android with PhoneGap. Both of those addressed sending push notifications from a general 3rd party server where you write the server side push code. However, there are many services out there you can leverage for sending push notifications as well and this post will address Pushwoosh in particular.
What’s nice about Pushwoosh... 
Something cool that many mobile developers (and particularly native developers) might not be aware of at this point, is the option to use PhoneGap (aka Cordova) as a component within your mobile application, as a web “subview” of a whole native application where you want to render HTML/JS content and/or interact with the PhoneGap APIs. In this webview component (sometimes also referred to as... 
My last post covered push notifications with PhoneGap on Apple devices, but I also wanted to cover push notifications with PhoneGap on Android for those developing cross platform applications. I found that I was able to get my notifications working much faster on Android comparatively.
Google Cloud Messaging
Android push notifications are available via the Google Cloud Messaging – GCM service...
This is part 1 of a new series to help explain how to set up and use Apple Push Notifications (APNs) in your mobile applications. Push notifications are different than local notifications in that they are coming from a 3rd party server to inform the user of something, versus a local notification which is scheduled by the application to run on the device itself without any server interaction. For instance... 
Often times half the battle to getting started with cross platform development is getting set up. I’ve blogged about this often times before, but now there’s a helpful new tool available from our Adobe engineers to help you set up a cross-platform project template quickly! The tool is called cordova-client, and it allows you to edit one code base and maintain and manage your overall... 
Twitter Bootstrap is an open source toolkit to help you create visually pleasing interfaces for your web and mobile apps quickly. According to this article it’s the most watched and forked repository in GitHub. A couple of developers that work for Twitter wrote the framework (hence the name), you can follow them on twitter at (@mdo and @fat) actually wrote the framework. There’s a great article... 
At PhoneGap Day last week I saw a demo showing the AppLaud Eclipse plugin by Mobile Developer Solutions (MDS), a plugin for creating PhoneGap templates to make your PhoneGap/Cordova for Android development fast and easy. I found it particularly interesting as I had discovered this pain point myself and been trying to address it with my own set of templates, but always thought a plugin would be ultimate.... 
Sometimes the hardest part of trying a new technology is the initial configuration process. This post is intended to help developers in getting started with PhoneGap more quickly cross-platform. I’m working on some pre-configured project templates and the first one is included with this post.
Basic PhoneGap Project Template
This first template contains preset project templates for iOS and Android to... 
I recently discovered a neat framework I wanted to blog about to inform people of another great option for developing in mobile. This framework might especially appeal to Flex/AIR developers as well, so take a moment to read on. It’s called Kendo UI Mobile, but this same company also has libraries for web and data visualization. In this post I’m going to specifically focus on mobile, though...
