Brian Leroux

A web hacker best known for his work on Adobe PhoneGap and later Apache Cordova. These days he's exploring the emergent bot space which are really just freaky web services. (The freaky part is that we can build web services with javascript and we no longer need servers.) He loves JS, despite giving him so many reasons to feel otherwise, and with a few friends collects those special edges in a little blog called wtfjs. You can find him around the usual developer-y places
