December 21st, 2010
Recently Ive been asked how do you get started writing unit tests? I had to give great thought to the question.

Reflections on Jive SBS
December 16th, 2010
I’ve been working with the Jive SBS platform for about 6 months at my current client. SBS stands for “Social Business Software“. At its heart, Jive is a portal product, with an emphasis on supporting social networking. Jive is a licensed product. It can be used effectively out of the box, but licensees have access to the source code (as well as the source of any open-source projects that Jive leverages). Jive provides a robust mechanism for customizing the functionality of the product via plug-ins that developers can create and install. I have found that the platform has some very useful functionality, as well as some substantial shortcomings. In this posting, I’ll describe some of the pros and cons of the platform (as I see them).

Lights, Camera, ActionSheet!: Updating iOS ShareKit’s Twitter service to provide photo and messag...
November 11th, 2010
ShareKit (<a href=http://getsharekit.com/>http://getsharekit.com</a>) is a popular, open-source, drop-in solution for implementing social sharing features in iOS applications. ShareKit does not yet have support for selecting/capturing a photo and sending it as part of a Twitter message. However, thanks to ShareKit’s open-source nature and framework for extensibility, I was able to add this functionality without much fanfare, and still leverage the recently added img.ly support to link to that image. An overview of an initial form of this implementation is outlined in this blog post.
