Friday is my last day at Sencha. It’s been a great company to work for, with smart people, valuable products and a vibrant community. It’s not too much to say we’ve really led this year’s growth of interest in mobile web applications, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. But for …
I unashamedly maintain that there is so much more to being successful on the mobile web than dealing with screen size. But I do accept that dealing with screen size is at least a first step. Thank goodness then, that the matter of screen size is so simple and well understood. Really? As web …
Dave Kaneda and I wandered along to the Facebook Mobile Hack last week. We spend a lot of time attending, speaking at, and sponsoring hackathons, but wanted to have a go at getting involved for ourselves. Consider it SenchaCon decompression or something. The event as a whole was excellent – …

Here at Sencha Towers, we’ve been having a bunch of fun with the new accelerometer & gyroscope APIs in the iOS4.2 web browser. Rob Dougan has put together a tilt-controlled list and Ariya Hidayat a box of marbles. Both require an updated iPhone or iPod Touch (although Ariya’s …
I’m extremely pleased to announce that one of my projects, tinySrc, has become part of Sencha, alongside such awesome projects as Raphaël JS, jQTouch, Connect, and InfoVis – as well, of course, as the company’s core products like Ext JS and the revolutionary mobile …
