Posted on by Kallala

phonegap

What is PhoneGap:
PhoneGap is an application framework that is based on the open standards of HTML5 and allows PhoneGap developer to use common technologies (HTML, JavaScript and CSS) to build applications for multiple mobile platforms from a single code base.With PhoneGap you can:

1. Take advantage of HTML5 and CSS.
2. Use JavaScript to write your code.
3. Access Native Features of the supported platforms.
4. Deploy your application to multiple platform.
5. It works similarly to native applications without a browser frame around them.
6. The basic fundamental of PhoneGap is “Write Once, Compile in the Cloud and Run Anywhere”.

Development of Application using PhoneGap within 30 minutes

Prerequisite Software for Application Development

1. Eclipse Integrated Design Environment (IDE) to write code for the development.
2. Java Development Kit (JDK).
3. Android Software Development Kit (SDK) for developing Android Application.
4. Android Development Toolkit (ADT).This is a plug-in for Eclipse required for the Android Application.
5. Install the PhoneGap and add the plug-in in your eclipse.

Build the Application in PhoneGap

1. After the PhoneGap plug in added in your eclipse, you will find an icon in the eclipse tool bar. (refer Screenshot – 1)

2. On click of the icon you will get a “Create a PhoneGap for Android Project” page.(refer Screenshot-2)
3. Choose “Use Built-in PhoneGap – version1.1.0” under “PhoneGap Configuration” and choose “use PhoneGap example source as template for project” under “Project Contents” then click on next button.

Technical Enhancement Witnessed in .NET Framework 4.0

Posted on by Kallala

Dot Net has evolved as a gem of an enterprise software development technology ever since it was introduced back in 2002.

Although .NET has been constantly undergoing some changes but the .NET version 4.0 has come up with some significantly important ones.

These changes are related to the overall architecture and greatly enhance its functionality.

Dynamic Language Run time (DLR): Engineers at Microsoft have come up with Dynamic Language Run time (DLR), which is built above the Common Language Run time (CLR) and facilitates easy interoperability of like set of technologies inside a regular framework.

It allows .NET developers to build applications using dynamic languages like Ruby, Python etc on top of .NET Framework run time.

A set of new services have been added through DLR, which allows the implementation of dynamic languages on the managed platform of .NET.

The dynamic type system, regular hosting model, and quick dynamic code generation are some modules that are supported by these services.

DLR comprises of 3 layers which are as such:

  • .NET Language Integration level
  • Language Binders
  • Dynamic Language Runtime Code Components

Support for Parallel Computing: Writing robust multithreaded applications and asynchronous code is possible with the parallel computing model provided in .NET 4.0. A managed library for design and implementation, called Parallel Extensions Library, will utilize the parallel hardware of a system to carry out parallel computing.

Managed Extensibility Framework: A new Managed Extensibility Framework has been introduced which can be applied to build lightweight, extensible and unified applications, by influencing the characteristics and benefits of the run time environment (CLR).

Although Windows Communication Foundation was introduced in .NET 3.0, certain enhancements like simplified configuration, IIS hosting, REST features, Workflow and Routing services have come up with .NET 4.0.

Similarly, the Windows Workflow Foundation has also witnessed enhanced extensibility in WF designer, improved activity model, and built-in activity library in this latest version.

Utilizing the iPhone/Android application development, our experts have recently developed an interesting application through which you can give update about any upcoming events of your company.

You can post your blogs, let your company delegates know of any recent projects undertaken- there are so many things you can do with our application. With these applications integrated with the iPhone, you can showcase your successfully completed projects and keep your clients updated.

What’s more, you can integrate this application with Google maps to utilize it as a roadmap for getting the location update.

Why Choose Ruby on Rails for your Web App

Posted on by Kallala

Ruby On Rails

Ruby on Rails, popularly known as RoR, is developed using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern along with the agile development methodology. Ruby on Rails is intended to emphasize Convention over Configuration (CoC), and the rapid development principle of Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY).

Benefits of Ruby on Rails

  • Development Speed

Ruby on Rails allows features to be developed quickly by using existing methods and components with the help of modular design. The factors behind its time-saving results include- modular design, leaner code base, and availability of existing gems/plug-ins. So the development cycles in Rails are shorter as compared to its counterparts.

  • Flexibility

In Rails, there are lots of in-built components of specific functionalities already available. These modules can be reused in development rather than building everything from scratch. Ruby on Rails offers the ability to easily modify a web application in response to customers’ needs.

  • Cost-effectiveness

In addition to the flexibility and development speed, Ruby on Rails is an open-source web application framework that helps in developing cost-effective web applications without sacrificing performance, speed, and quality.

  • High code quality

The Ruby development community is very active and responsive. There are a lot of resources available over the Internet and any problem encountered during ROR development can be easily solved by communicating to the community. Also, security updates and bug fixes are released regularly which helps in maintaining top-notch code quality for application development.

  • Industry support

There are many Ruby on Rails web hosting/consulting companies such as AWS (Amazon EC2), Heroku & EngineYard offering cloud-based services. They offer a scalable hosting environment and provide support for the development and deployment of Ruby on Rails applications.

Andolasoft offers quality rails development service. We specialize in developing database-driven web applications in an efficient and hassle-free way. Visit our portfolio and Contact us for further details.
