Jason Morris

Jason Morris has been developing software for as long as he can remember. He’s written software for the desktop, the server, for feature phones and for smart phones. He’s written in many languages, and deployed in a variety of countries. Jason loves a good programming challenge, and when he’s not writing code, or spending time with his family, taking photo’s or camping: he’s probably thinking about programming. In 2010 / 2011 he wrote Android User Interface Development: A Beginners Guide, which helped many beginner Android developers take their first steps into the realm of User Interface design and development for mobile devices.
