Last Night I had the chance to catch my first meetup of the Triangle Cocoaheads. What a great meetup, and I certainly plan on attending this more often. Our hosts over at Two Toasters, a local App development company, had a nice downtown office fully supplied with Pizza and drinks. The room held probably 25 […]

Appcelerator’s Quarterly Survey Results show iOS dominant in the Enterprise
For all the talk about how Apple is not enterprise friendly, I was surprised to find the news that more than 50% of enterprise app developers want to target iOS in the quarterly survey that Appcelerator runs. This shift from Android to iOS continues to reflect, in my opinion, the challenges of targeting Android’s plethora […]
Open Development vs. Open Source
Sitting in my favorite coffee shop this morning (BeanTraders), while working on the edit for one of my other podcasts (GamesAtWork.Biz) I got to thinking about Open Source vs. Open Development (btw, open development doesn’t have a dedicated wikipedia page, so I guess it means too many different things to too many different people).

BYOD impact on app development
I saw a study a few weeks back that stated 60% of independent app developers are enterprise developers in the day and app developers by night and weekend. While this sounds right from a pure numbers perspective, it got me thinking about how the BYOD (bring your own device) trend in the enterprise may be […]
Working on new review
I am hoping to get the point to where I can post a weekly review, but right now I feel that if I can do monthly I am being pretty successful. Having said that I am pretty excited to be heading to the TechCrunch meetup on July 10th at Tyler’s Taproom in Durham. Come and […]
Episode 1 – Downcast App
Well, I have finally gotten the first episode of Triangle App Show edited and clean up.. including my attempt at writing a theme song. Seth McFarland from Downcast was kind enough almost a year ago to be the first person to record an interview with me. Now that I have the Reflections Application on my […]
