When I first began fiddling in the PC arena 4k RAM was current and personal hard drives didn’t exist quite yet. Anybody else remember block ANSI graphics, CPM and 8 inch floppies?

So I have been developing software since 1989. I started with dBase and ANSI “C”. I soon jumped on Visual Basic 1.0 and have been working with the Microsoft stack on and off ever since. Like many I suffered through the original Active Server Pages and Visual InterDev. I was quite a bit happier when c#/ dot Net and Visual Studio came to be.

My focus for the last decade has been integration, collaboration, and bringing it all together into an enterprise web portal. This allowed me to branch out into other technical realms such as Java, Linux and multiplatform systems architecture. All centered on the browser as a delivery platform.

During this entire time I was thinking how awesome it would be to deliver enterprise content and collaboration and dashboards to mobile devices. So much fragmentation to deal with, writing native apps to support multiple platforms would be a nightmare of coding logistics.

Now doing the Mobile Web thing with Microsoft's MVC 4, Jquery Mobile, knockout JS and others.
