Platforms
iOS
My favorite platform to develop for, I have been doing so sice before
there was an AppStore to develop for.
LAMP Stack
A classic, I have used this regularly for many years, though am not
bound to it.
Andriod
Utilized sporadically, mostly for consulting work, but a platform that
I am trying to contribute to more by carrying over some of the lessons
that I have learned on iOS.
Microsoft PixelSense
Not a regularly used one, but one that I have learned a substantial
amount about and wish to see Microsoft give it the attention it
deservers.
Node.js
Mostly for personal projects, this platform is a personal favorite and
one I am excited to see continue becoming great.
J2EE
Specifically, I have used the Jboss implementation on Apache Tomcat
for large scale enterprise software.
