Going Mobile (for online shopping) is the Way Ahead Last Friday morning, at my London Heathrow Airport hotel, The Times newspaper was placed at my door.  I kept a two page spread article from inside the newspaper that was titled "Going Mobile Is The Way Ahead".  I don't think anyone would disagree about the impact that mobile devices and app development are having in our world.  Would you?  What really caught my eye (I love infographics and statistics) was the page full of results from a 2013 UK Mobile Online Shopping Survey done by IMRG/eDigital...

Happy Leap Day from Johannesburg South Africa... Today is February 29, 2012.  Leap Day!  I have arrived in Johannesburg for tomorrow's "RAD Studio XE2 in Action - Live" workshop.  I had a few minutes between arrival and our check of the venue, our slides and the demos.  We had lunch in Nelson Mandela Square in the Standton area of Johannesburg.  I had my picture taken in front of the benevolently smiling Nelson Mandela statue (click on the thumbnail to see the whole picture).
