The good thing about that: you can be sure that as a blogger, you will never run out of ideas and content to write, simply because someone, somewhere else, is making changes. In my case, it is the end of support for … Continue reading Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDKs – Overview
I had an extremely brief discussion the other day about custom code, Extensions, and data quality, with Urs Boller.

Since then, I have learned a lot, and I sort of don't want to look back at the … Continue reading Launch Extensions & Cato Fong

I'd also like to erase them from my … Continue reading Out with the Old!

It allows people to use a UI, and it generates Javascript, which can then be added to your web site to do stuff. Ok. Terms The process of generating … Continue reading Launch libraries – Dev/Staging/Prod
Sometimes I have trouble with the beginning of an article. This is such a case. I have been pondering the best way to use Launch to track visitor activity for some time.

It really boils down to two approaches: Use _satellite.track() and put payload into the … Continue reading Launch, Events, and EDDL – aka Jim changed my mind
For the last 5 years and a bit, I have been working in the Adobe office in Basel. I came here more or less by chance, and it turned out to be a nice and interesting place.
