Over the course of the last eight months—though it feels twice as long—I’ve been spending nearly all of my free-time (and more) working on a book, entitled “Building Windows 8 Apps with JavaScript.” I realized a bit ago that I ‘ve said nothing of this book here on my blog, [...]
For the past several months, I’ve been working on my first book “Building Windows 8 Apps with JavaScript,” slated for release later this year. It’s been a long, yet gratifying, ride, and I’m excited to see the final product in print in just a few short months. If you haven’t had a [...]

Over the last several months, I’ve been spending a lot of time in [...]

On October 8th, 2011, in Austin, TX, we held the first HTML5.tx event. We sold all 250 tickets two weeks ahead of time, and had over 240 people show the day of the event.

Earlier this week, I wrapped up the third installment of my “Building Apps for HTML5” Series for MSDN Magazine (check out part 1 and part 2, if you haven’t already), and there was an out of scope item that I didn’t have the space to cover, but thought would be a good blog [...]
Last month, I blogged about how much I love KnockoutJS, a fantastic JavaScript MVVM framework for creating rich, dynamic UIs.
