Hello World!

Hello there!

One my New Years' resolutions was not really all that original: to start blogging, at least every once in a while. So there it is! :) For one, I would like to improve my English writing skills but also tackle my procrastination tendencies.

Since I spend most of my wake hours in front of the computer doing mobile development , I figured this fun little side project could be the right place to share my thoughts on the mobile programming and some other interests in the "real life" such as music, travel, sports, etc.

So, after more than a year, practically an eternity in Android-time, I have decided to resume work on the Sharpoid app.

First version was a little bit rushed, created for local Android developer contest. Although IMHO it was more technically complex than the competition, it failed to gain much interest among the non-geek population.

That was two years ago. Raising popularity of the Android platform in the meantime brought on board more geeks :) but also a lot of others interested in programming, aka the citizen developers, who may find Sharpoid useful in the everyday tasks.

In the meantime I have translated Sharpoid core from Java to C# and successfully ran some tests on Windows Phone and iPhone (Xamarin, ex-MonoTouch). Windows Phone is really an awesome platform and it could run the next Sharpoid version. There are also unreleased Blackberry and Java ME versions of the runtime.

Stay tuned for more info. And, as every other unknown blogger, I would love to hear your comments.
