Shane Gliser graduated from Washburn University in 2001, specializing in Java development. Over the next few years, he developed a love of web development and taught himself HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Having shifted his focus again, Shane's primary passions are user experience and the mobile web. Shane began working with jQuery Mobile while it was still in the Alpha 2 phase, and deployed American Century Investments' mobile site while the framework was still in Beta 2. Since then, he has rebranded and relaunched his own personal business, Roughly Brilliant Digital Studios (http://roughlybrilliant.com), as a place where he could start blogging tips about using jQuery Mobile. Andy Matthews has been working as a software engineer for nearly 20 years with experience in a wide range of industries and a skillset that includes UI/UX, graphic design, and programming. He is the coauthor of the books Creating Mobile Apps with jQuery Mobile and jQuery Mobile Web Development Essentials by Packt Publishing. He has written for online publications, such as Adobe, NetTuts, and .NET Magazine. He has spoken at conferences all over the country, and has developed a number of projects for the open source community.
