  • http://twitter.com/vladrys Carl Franc Rai

    I must admit—I think as a freelance designer I have underestimated the emergence of mobile web. A few years ago I thought it was just a fad, or something that wouldn’t be really as big as it is today…and I was caught off-guard! Today, I’m still more comfortable in developing websites full-scale but I’m doing some personal projects on the side to touch on the mobile front, and I need all the help I can get! I think “HTML5 Mobile Development Cookbook” would be great teacher for me to understand the medium and finally professionally touch on it, especially since the demand for mobile web development is really big right now. Count me in! :)
