Theme week: Optimizing your infrastructure

The IBM Mobile blog has been running "theme weeks," so I chose to write an article for last week's theme, which was "Optimizing your infrastructure." When I think of optimizing your infrastructure, I think of performance tuning, in particular, tuning the middleware layer, so I give my tips on tuning the IBM Worklight Server.

It is published here - Changing your tune from desktop to mobile.

You can check out the other articles published from that week on The Mobile Frontier blog.

Mobile Application Development: Starting from Scratch

That's where I was only a few months ago - starting from scratch. Now that I've been through the "crucible" so to speak, I have some wisdom to share about my experience, and a few tips to pass on. Here is my guide to getting up to speed quickly. HTML5 HTML5 is a blanket term used to describe the latest web technologies from W3C, including HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. The web revolves around this now, but it still has yet to prove itself on the mobile front. It might not be as fast or efficient as using native code. However, it's the logical choice when developing for multiple platforms, and better to brush up on these skills before diving into any enterprise web project.

As I close this chapter, I find myself looking toward the next—searching for an organization ready to leverage twenty years of experience in global training strategy and digital transformation. The past year was defined by a singular mission: overseeing the deployment of AI-driven tools to accelerate learning content development. I witnessed the immediate, complex results of those efforts firsthand. Now, I am eager to carry that momentum forward. But before I step into the future, I must reflect on the remarkable, often unpredictable, year that was 2025. Leadership in a Time of Transition The year began in the wake of 2024’s reorganizations.
