This enterprise started back in late 2009, with the ambition to create and provide mobile applications (’apps’). The rationale being to focus on the needs of the user and provide apps which are as flexible and as simple as possible to use. The development process involves repeatedly ‘boiling-down’ to get to the heart of each feature implemented.
Fundamental to that process is Titanium from ‘Appcelerator‘ which aligns perfectly – enabling developers to build apps rapidly for multiple platforms from a single technology (in this instance Javascript).
In March, www.keepitsimpleapps.com deployed it’s ‘maiden’ app: AppNotes v1.0 for the iPhone, followed by an enhancement (v1.1) one month later. There’s another enhancement about to start which hopefully should be released in a week or two.
Aside from AppNotes, there’s a much more significant project in the works, details of which will hopefully be coming out in the next few weeks.
For those that may not have ventured far into the site, it isn’t all quiet. I’ve been enhancing the Career History page to showcase some of the sites I have project-managed in my current position (with the obligatory Lightbox effect).
I have added a summary of the project to provide and maintain a site for a local business (Ammi Flowers) that I was asked to put together. It’s been well received by the proprieter and their customers and is regularly revised and enhanced as the business develops.
I’ve decided to restart my blog, because I wanted to move it up to the Homepage of my site and upgrade to the newest version, with all sorts of potential bells and whistles.
My plan is to get into the habit of blogging once a week, even if it’s just a brief check-in.
