Jon Reid Expert Profile

Jon Reid is a user interface developer with fifteen years of professional experience. Early in his software career Jon was fascinated with the user interface and he found himself drawn to browser-based technologies: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Jon is passionate about usability and accessibility and believes in making the web a better place for everyone.

Throughout his career Jon has worked in a broad range of companies, from genetic research to enterprise-class document management, a true testament to the reach and power of web technologies. Jon's experience also includes interactive agencies, including the top advertising firm Crispin Porter + Bogusky, where he was the lead developer on the Microsoft "I'm a PC" campaign. Jon's broad experience gives him valuable insight into how web technologies are applied on a daily basis by developers working in the trenches.

Though he loves programming in straight JavaScript, Jon has been using jQuery almost since it was first invented (on his birthday!) and has used it in too many projects to count. He is the author of "jQuery Mobile," published by O'Reilly Media.
