Form Design with Adobe Proto
Now that the semester is winding down, I wanted to spend some time experimenting with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Adobe Proto. To me this is a key tool to rapidly create wireframes. It is also something which I think needs to be incorporated into our web curricula. Therefore, […]
Read MoreGoogle fun
For those who might get easily bored on this “Black Friday,” I offer the following short post on fun with Google. Just visit Google.com and try some of the following search terms. I suppose it should go without saying that you want to use a modern browser (which would not […]
Read MoreProto CheatSheet
I have been working with Adobe Touch apps for a while and I occurred to me that someone may want a “cheat sheet” to help with specific gestures and menu items. Ok, I sometimes forget how to draw a dropdown list using a gesture. I created this list as a […]
Read MoreKindle Fire Screen Captures
In my simple view of the world, it should be relatively easy to take a screen capture of what I see on a smart phone or tablet. Why would I want to? I often need to show students what a given environment looks like. Using a document camera or some […]
Read MoreTablets and Web Design
Those who know me realize I am not a fan of paper. I have not provided paper handouts to my students since 2000. Personally, I find it much easier to organize and locate digital materials.I don’t think I am alone in this view. Of course, a big problem is having […]
Read MoreHow to email your professor
Having just gone through several episodes of email miscommunication, I thought it might be appropriate to put some notes together regarding the best approach to sending email to your professor (that would be me). It is important to recognize that I receive well over 100 email messages per day and […]
Read MoreIntermediate Twitter
Assuming you have decided to take initial steps into the Twitter ecosystem, I thought it might be appropriate to cover additional tools and websites which can help manage the information “overload.” Yes, 140 characters doesn’t seem like much, but there can be a fair amount of information when you start […]
Read MoreTwitter 101
On more than one occasion, I have mentioned to someone – “if you followed me on Twitter…” Often, I get either a blank stare or some short statement about not using Twitter. I thought I would take a little time and explain why I use Twitter. Short answer – it […]
Read MoreAdobeMAX 2011
It is rare that one is present at a defining moment in the history of technology. This was one of those events which focused on the tectonic changes happening in technology today. Although touch and gesture are big, the ubiquity of mobile devices is changing the way we interact. We […]

Los Angeles. Sunday, October 2, 2011 – This event was provided for educators (those living in the Los Angeles area and those visiting from many other states and countries). Sessions were recorded for those who could not physically be present. It was a great opportunity to meet and discuss current […]
Read MoreWindows 8 with Internet Explorer 10 initial thoughts
I have been examining the recently released Windows 8 Developer Preview. Obviously, my focus is on web development related materials. I was excited to see that JavaScript is included as a language choice with Visual Studio 2011. That will (hopefully) be the focus of another weblog entry in the near […]
Read MoreMobile JS Summit
I had the distinct pleasure of participating in the Mobile JS Summit on August 30, 2011. This conference was entirely online (using Adobe Connect). There was a wealth of information presented over the course of the day. I will try to summarize some of the highlights. The sessions I was […]
Read MoreBook Review – CHOICE
CHOICE magazine recently asked me to review a book and published my review in their August, 2011 issue. For those who do not have ready access, I provide a copy of my review below. Yu, Liyang. A developer’s guide to the semantic Web. Springer, 2011. 608p index afp ISBN 9783642159695, […]
Read MoreIs summer really over?
“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” This quote by Carl Sagan essentially sums up how I feel about this past summer. I have learned so much and had so many incredible experiences and met so many knowledgeable and passionate people and renewed a number of friendships. For those […]
Read MoreArchos 101 Tablet and Screen Captures
Given that I have an Archos 101 Tablet, I wanted to include some screen captures for my upcoming CMWEB 141 class on mobile and multi-screen development. Since I connected my Motorola Droid 2 to my Windows 7 (64 bit) laptop, I thought that would be the best approach. I already […]
