Jonathan's book is the most comprehensive documentation available for developing web applications for mobile Safari. Not just great tech coverage, this book is an easy read of purely fascinating mobile tidbits in a fun colloquial style. Must have for all PhoneGap developers.- Brian LeRoux, Nitobi Software and co-creator of PhoneGap
The future of mobile development is clearly web technologies like CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Jonathan Stark shows you how to leverage your existing web development skills to build native iPhone applications using these technologies.- John Allsopp, author and founder of Web Directions
Over the holiday break I had some time to read (a better word might be "consume") Jonathan Stark's book "Web Publishing with PHP and FileMaker 9." In a little more than 250 pages, Jonathan manages to do the impossible: He explains how to put the FileMaker API for PHP to use. If you are looking for a good book on PHP and FileMaker integration -- whether you are new to the topic or consider yourself to be a pro -- then I highly recommend picking up a copy of "Web Publishing with PHP and FileMaker 9."- Tim Dietrich, FileMaker Addict
Jonathan Stark's "Web Publishing with PHP and FileMaker 9" is the essential introduction to the greatest era of FileMaker web technology. Simple and straight forward, Jonathan lays down the foundation for deploying and developing FileMaker and PHP applications. If you are considering the integration of FileMaker databases with the web scripting language PHP here is the resource you're looking for from an author who has spent years helping to blaze the trail.- Lance Halberg, fm-synergy.com
Jonathan Stark is a true master of his craft. His teaching style combines the highest level of instruction with a logical structure and approachability that is as easy to follow for a raw novice as a seasoned expert. I wish I'd had this book when I was getting my start: I could have hit the ground running with a good breadth of knowledge, rather than pecking away one function at a time on my own.- Brian Dunning, briandunning.com

Without a doubt he has been our best IT investment this year and we are very happy to highly recommend his services.- Derek Giesbrecht, Amusement Equipment Directory
I hired Jonathan to develop our first iPhone solution for a demo with a potential client. To his credit, I e-mailed him on a Friday and by Sunday we not only had negotiated a contract but he began work. Before most developers would have even setup the environment he had a working model that helped us refine our requirements. Jonathan was very easy to work with and flexible in adapting to our requirements. The final solution was not only to our liking but it knocked the socks off of the client.- Darwin Stephenson, San Francisco Bay Area, CA
