Friday is my last day at Sencha.
It’s been a great company to work for, with smart people, valuable products and a vibrant community. It’s not too much to say we’ve really led this year’s growth of interest in mobile web applications, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
But for me, a new challenge. As of Monday, I’ll be Head of Mobile Developer Relations at Facebook.
Not much to say right now – I have a six-week bootcamp to get through – but it’s probably sufficient to say the company also has a few interesting ambitions in mobile.
So, thank you Sencha, for a brilliant experience. And hello Facebook: let’s see what we can do.
Best of luck James, they clearly know what talent to pursue.
that is great James! in dotMobi I did not use to speak much, but I kept reading your blog sometimes
I wish you very the best of luck, well deserved.
have a good start and fun with your new challenge
greetings nils

Thanks for your efforts, vigor, and sensational outlooks on where we’re all going with mobility.

Good luck in your new gig! You may need a few more gears now.

Congrats! That’s gotta be pretty exciting. I’m curious how does one get a job with Facebook. Did they seek you out, or vice versa? Hope you can continue to share your wealth of knowledge!
Congratulations. I just got into Sencha Touch a few weeks ago when I learned of the demise of Flex. Your tutorials were VERY interesting in helping me get off the ground and into the framework.
