I'm a web-loving, webapp maker kinda guy. Here are a few things I have created for my employers, my freelancing projects and my own personal projects

My Phở app is now available for all mobile devices

Everything you need for the delicious Vietnamese noodle soup, Phở, is in this app.   Quickly get a list of all the Pho restaurants near you and plot them all on a map. Or enter in a city name to get all the Pho places in that city. Also included is a recipe to make your own Pho. View the photo gallery of all the Pho toppings you usually get in a restaurant – brisket, steak, fatty brisket, tai, chin, gau, pho ga, etc.  Finally, an app my parents would use.

For Google Android users, download the app in the Google Play store here and install for free,

For Apple iPhone users, use the Safari browser to access the web app here,

This app was developed using Sencha Touch 2.0.   Sencha Touch 2.0 is a javascript framework using HTML5/javascript technologies.  The data is taken from Yelp’s Webservice API.  I added Google’s geolocation APIs to plot the restaurants on the map.  The images for the Pho toppings were taken with my Canon t2i and photoshopped by me.

update: There are some pros and cons to using Sencha Touch over other mobile-specific frameworks like jQueryMobile.  I’m currently working on another smartphone app using jQuery Mobile and will have it available soon.
