Bio

Brock Whitten is a Software Engineer in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. Formerly at cloud computing company Joyent and co-creator of the PhoneGap project, he is now working with Rob Ellis on solving the latest problems in the mobile space. Brock has a history of speaking at conferences and is an advocate of open web standards. Brock finds it hard to overstate the value of a good API and feels performance matters. Great software invariably has two qualities—fast, and easy to use.
