My writing

I write articles every once in a while for IBM developerWorks, Amazon Web Services Developer Portal, and Developer.com.

I was lead author and technical reviewer for iPhone Games Projects, from Apress, available June 22, 2009. I wrote two chapters, and verified the technical accuracy of the other chapters.

I also worked on Beginning iPhone Games Development, also from Apress, published on May 14, 2010. I authored the chapters on UIViews and Core Animation.

Below is a list of my articles to date:
