I am writing this post hours before Apple’s big announcement, and it seems that the rumor mills are finally slowing down. We can expect a new Apple TV (will it support Apps??), and the iPad HD. Things will be faster, higher resolution, and more RAM. From a developer perspective I think the most important aspect […]

Security and your Mobile App
There’s an interesting perspective when it comes to mobile apps, people writing games don’t necessarily think about security. Enterprise app developers must consider security in their apps. And if you are developing social apps, security is even more important, there is no faster way to kill a social platform than to violate your users trust […]
Windshield Time
Years ago I worked for an experienced data processing manager. The fact that the job was in data processing should indicate the I am now an experienced IT professional. My manager would come up with these complex development problems and never give me time to actually think about how to come up with solutions. After […]
Sustain a bull – Apps?
Was grabbing my daily coffee at my favorite coffee shop BeanTraders, and saw a pamphlet on the counter for the “Sustain a Bull” program.

Are app factories worth your time?
I was listening to a story on the news the other day, and at the end the section was sponsored by a local app factory. This got me thinking. How much value do companies get out of app factories? Are they really just delaying the time when their developers need to get up to speed […]
Local App Spotlight – Downcast
I listen to a lot of podcasts. Probably way too many podcasts. When I am traveling on business, I tend to blow thru my iPad data plan in a week. Additionally, AT&T recently informed me that I am in the top 1% of data plan users of my unlimited iPhone data plan. In order to […]
Is the Triangle really an App Hotbed?
I was reviewing a study that I heard Leo Laporte talk about on MacBreak weekly, that claims that the App Economy has created 466,000 jobs in the last few years. The article can be found on cNet. I downloaded the report from TechWeb and saw this graphic – . According to this study North Carolina […]
