About the Author
Shane Gliser graduated from Washburn University in 2001, specializing in Java
development. Over the next several years, he developed a love of web development
and taught himself HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Having shifted his focus again,
Shane's primary passions are user experience and the mobile web.
Shane began working with jQuery Mobile while it was still in the Alpha 2 phase and
deployed American Century Investments' mobile site while the framework was still
in Beta 2. Since then, he has rebranded and re-launched his own personal business,
Roughly Brilliant Digital Studios (
http://roughlybrilliant.com), as a place
where he could start blogging tips about using jQuery Mobile.
Major thanks go to Todd Parker, Scott Jehl, and the rest of the crew
at Filament Group and the many other volunteers who have given
their time and talent to creating jQuery Mobile.
Jim Tharp, thank you for being my mobile partner-in-crime and for
your continuous, epic sense of humor.
To the leadership team at American Century Investments, thank you
for believing in my little two-week demo and trusting us to march
down this unknown path.
