About the Reviewers

Stephen Feather is an Appcelerator Titanium Titan, holding TCMD and TCAD certifications, and a frequent speaker on mobile strategies for small businesses and nonprofit organizations. In 1994, he started his own consulting firm working directly with communication companies such as Netscape, Microsoft, and Oracle in the early days of the Internet. In 1996, he wrote Javascript by Example, one of the first publications on the then new scripting language. Over the next 17 years, his firm would grow to become a widely recognized vendor of multimedia software for language learning and providing support to colleges and universities throughout the Southeastern United States.

In 2009, he cofounded Feather Direct, recognizing a need for quality mobile application development, reputation management, and SEO services for smaller organizations. He volunteers his time to assist and train a new generation of mobile app developers through online forums and local user groups.

Jude Osborn is an experienced, well-travelled Software Developer, having led and developed projects across the web, mobile, and desktop spaces and in locations spanning the globe. Jude is passionate about new development technologies, and right now is especially giddy about JavaScript frameworks and mobile.

Jude currently works with Google's Creative Lab (on behalf of the web development agency, Potato) on prototypes and experimental software projects. Every morning he walks across Sydney's Pyrmont bridge soaking up the sunshine and looking forward to the next amazing technological challenge.

When he's not cutting code and trying crazy new techs, Jude loves creating Littlest Pet Shop YouTube videos with his daughter, barely managing to compete in Starcraft's gold league with his son, and enjoying a nice glass of wine with his beautiful, amazing, and supportive wife.
