Single Page Apps - Analytics

Since I have been using JQuery a lot lately, I've done a lot of experimenting with single page apps. They are great, but there are several drawbacks as well - one of them is that using tools like Google Analytics means your website gets 'one visit' when the user loads your single page app.

Here is some info on setting up Google Analytics to work with a single page app - and give you proper tracking of your website usage.

Web Apps - Mobile Browsers

I don't know if you often get requests to develop websites for mobile browsers, but I get that request pretty regularly. I don't really enjoy it a lot because there are a whole lot of common UI behaviors that are hard to program or just take a lot of time.

Anyway, I came across this site the other day and a lot of my future problems have already been solved.
