Stepping aside

All,

SAP eliminated my position back in March, so I'm no longer involved with SAP's Cordova-based products. I recently started a new job at Forrester Research; I accepted a position as a Principal Analyst in Forrester's Application Development and Delivery area. In this role, I'll be focusing on mobile and open-source development. Because of my new role, I'll likely not be able to participate in the Cordova project any longer.  I'll keep trolling the list and help out where I can, but I'm not sure at this time what I'll be able to do.

I will however see you guys at open source conferences and at PhoneGap day this year if possible.

Don't feel too bad - the changes in 5 hit me too (although I was lucky
enough to still be able to update :).

Well, the latest two books are out there, together providing 800 solid pages of Cordova coverage. Right now it's pretty hard to publish books on Cordova as  you guys are making big changes too quickly :-).  Just published a book on Cordova 4 and within a week of it coming out you guys release cordova 5. Too hard to keep up.

Kidding aside, the books are selling quite well, so when the publisher's ready to do an update, perhaps I'll be able to do it.

what does this mean for the future of your book John? (def the best
resource out there for our community and we really appreciate the years of
work you've dedicated to the project.)

also: would love to see you at PGD!

John,

Congratulations on your new position (and sad that SAP eliminated your prior position). I hope it is rewarding and exciting for you, and that you accomplish great things. :-)

Cordova won’t be the same without you, though! I hope things work out so that you can continue to contribute, but I also know that new jobs and such tend to get in the way of that. We’ll be happy to see you stop by whenever you can, though!

All my best,

~Kerri
