About Me

About Me.md

There is not a huge deal of stuff that I have done or am doing, but am doing my bit! I am UI developer by profession and by choice! I love the ever changing landscape of UI and try my best to keep track of things! I am currently working with Macy’s Inc. as a Sr. UI Developer (e-Commerce). I am part of their foundational UI team working on the Macy’s mobile website.

I have authored a book titled Mastering jQuery Mobile published by Packt Publishing. The framework seems to be dying out now, but at one point it was THE mobile framework to build all your mobile websites. I also have been a technical reviewer for a couple for their titles in web UI development.

I started writing this blog with the intension of logging what I have studied and also sharing it with the world as a by-product. I would love to get your feedback on any of the articles I post on the blog. Drop me a line and I should get back to you pretty quickly. Feel free to follow me on Twitter!

Just writing that "This is an info window" in the information bubble is not very interesting! And I know this...Have gone through the same phase!     So, today we will do something interesting! We will display the latitude- longitude co-ordinates of the point that the user clicks on the map! Doing this is not at all complex! Copy paste the following code and you will see for yourself a map coming to life!     The output of the above code looks as seen in the result section above! If you have any queries regarding the above code please comment on the blog post or feel free to contact me at my mail ID .
