How Cloud Computing Redefined Businesses in 2015?

Ever since Amazon announced a new technology ‘Cloud Computing’ way back in 2006, tech experts around the world have made predictions about cloud at the start of every year and reviewed it at the yearend. Such has been the impact of cloud computing services that it has redefined the way data is stored and how businesses use their tools and applications. With each passing year, we see more acceptance of the cloud among small and large businesses and 2015 will surely go down as the year when cloud computing redefined businesses.

New Business Models

Cloud solutions have helped businesses develop new business models that help them in gaining competitive edge over their rivals. Some of these business models wouldn’t have been possible to develop without a technology that is as flexible and scalable as the cloud.

Accessibility To Tools

One of the major growth areas in 2015 has been the upsurge in the use of tools and applications under the SaaS (Software as a Service) model. This has allowed small businesses and start-ups to access the top end tools and application without having to invest a large sum of money in their outright purchase.

Mobility

Businesses are increasingly going mobile both in the way how they are offering products and services to the customers and the way people work in the organizations. ‘Work from Home’ has emerged as one of the best ways of retaining talent and attracting new people to the fold. Cloud Computing allows you to make tools and application available to the users irrespective of the location and the device used.

Enhanced R&D

Businesses that rely on R&D have moved most of their research projects to the cloud in 2015. This has helped different teams in different corners of the world simultaneously work on the project thus expediting the development of new products and services resulting in increased profits and more value to their customers.

Data Storage

Even businesses that haven’t moved on to the cloud are actually using many cloud solutions without even realizing it. Data storage lies at the core of cloud technology and has allowed businesses to move precious data to the cloud. This saves businesses from the cost of maintaining their own data centers and regularly monitoring them.

Reducing Costs

Last but not the least Cloud Computing solutions have helped businesses cut down on their operational expenditure. As the competition intensified in the industry those with cloud computing solutions benefitted with a less capital-intensive model that offered them more flexibility and agility to change with the shift in market trends.

Cloud computing solutions have become a must for businesses across different industries and if you want to migrate to the cloud or augment your presence we at Semaphore Software can offer you the best of cloud solutions. We are one of the leading cloud computing service providers in India and cater to the needs of customers around the world.

Google Will Switch to OpenJDK in Android N

When Android N rolls out at the end of next year, Google will have switched over to OpenJDK, the open source Java Development Kit from Oracle, instead of the proprietary JDK that Google currently uses for its Java APIs. According toVentureBeat, who confirmed the change with Google after Hacker News first noticed a big code commit to OpenJDK, Google is going with this open source JDK because Android is an “open-source platform” and so it makes sense that they go this route to not only simplify code for developers to build apps, but it also allows them to make “more contributions to the OpenJDK project.”

Mmmhmm. 

For you and I (the non-developers in the building), this all probably doesn’t mean much or won’t affect much of how we use Android. But one has to wonder if this doesn’t have something to do with the ongoing litigation between Oracle and Google over Java. As far as we know – unless the two sides have settled out of court without telling anyone – this battle is still very much as hot as ever, so the move to OpenJDK could be a sign of what Google sees as a long-term out or option. The sooner they get into an open-source Java scene, the better.

OpenJDK, though!

Oh, and here is that big ol’ commit of an “Initial import of OpenJdk files.”

Father of Android Plans To Start His Own Smartphone Company

Short Bytes: Andy Rubin, a legend in the Android world, is planning to make a return to his creation with a new smartphone company, according to sources from the industry. It would be interesting to notice Rubin’s strategy as Android is already an overcrowded category with low-profit margins. 

Andy Rubin founded Android before it became one of the most known products of Google. According to the sources close to the situation, Andy Rubin, the father of Google’s Android phone operating system, is planning to get back in the Android game.

After being away from Android for more than two years, he is planning to start his own phone company. The Information reports that Mr. Rubin has recently tried to hire people to help start a new smartphone company.

Andy Rubin shares an interesting relationship with Google. In the year 2013, he left the Android division of Google to work in Google’s robotic department. Next year, he left Google completely to start his own incubator Playground Global. Currently, he is running his venture capital firm Playground Ventures with $300 million in funding. He’ll be starting this Android phone company via Playground Fund, his own tech startup incubator Playground Global.

If we believe the reports, he might bring something special to the family of Android handsets. In the past, he has mentioned that Android is his baby and he is not leaving it behind forever.

When he left Google few years back, Android ecosystem was an entirely different category. Now it features tons of major players like Samsung, Xiaomi, HTC, Motorola, Lenovo, Asus, Micromax etc. So, it would be interesting to notice Rubin’s strategy as Android is already an overcrowded category with low-profit margins.

Android Game Development - Advantages Not to be Ignored

               The development of the mobile industry is playing an important market - the ability to conceptualize, develop and play the video device to bring a more successful and easier than ever before. Android app market and a lump sum needed for submitting an application, the cost is almost negligible close to the millions of customers to find. Although the bidding process is considerably shorter than in the most other Smartphone, such as regulations are more forgiving app for the Android operating system.

              Another drawing point for the development of games on Android devices is the programming language Java is presented. Java has long been one of the most popular programming languages that video game developers, and it is easy for the average programmer to get the Android Application development for the first time. Compared with most other mobile platforms, which are generally sports are changed or new invented language; the learning curve is reduced to almost nothing, when a fresh developer can be a game played in a part of time.

             Another unique aspect of developing games for Android is the lack of standardization in the family phone Droid. Because the Android operating system will not allow a mobile phone company decides to vary the phones themselves to the limit in terms of functionality and hardware specifications. Even a fully functioning device A-GPS and HDMI video compatibility, another features a QWERTY keyboard and a GPS at all. Although it is certainly dependent on a number of developers, because they probably have a phone that will meet their needs in the precision equipment to find, they also limit the potential audience, some phones will not be able to support the most complex applications.

           When you reach the process of developing the game at last to the point where it was made public, Android App developers are presented with a different choice of the market, the game will be seen? Unlike the IOS with many markets and shops app for Android phones, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The basis of the market of Android built with only the applications that are compatible with the phone is used in the Amazon app, another free application offers every day to give countless marketing strategies almost intimidating, making it useful than an application can almost always be introduced in a number of contracts with no problems. However, if it makes sense to get attention through different areas is another matter altogether.

           The process of global the Android game development really offers the most diversity in the market for smart phone. From beginning to end, these strategies can be tailored by hand to the likes of the promoter, making the game closer to the original concept as currently possible. While the public may not be as important as users of iPhone, Android looks like a serious candidate, just because of the access. And the best variety of the smartphone market today, the development possibilities are endless, and the continuous discharges can only add to the platform capabilities to offer.

MVC in Java

What is MVC Pattern?
         MVC Pattern stands for Model-View-Controller Pattern. This pattern is used to separate application's concerns.

Model
         Model represents an object or JAVA POJO carrying data. It can also have logic to update controller if its data changes.

View
         View represents the visualization of the data that model contains.

Controller
         Controller acts on both model and view. It controls the data flow into model object and updates the view whenever data changes. It keeps view and model separate.

Implementation:

            We are going to create a Student object acting as a model.StudentView will be a view class which can print student details on console and StudentController is the controller class responsible to store data in Student object and update viewStudentView accordingly.

       MVCPatternDemo, our demo class, will use StudentController to demonstrate use of MVC pattern.

Now we create the example in java MVC so follow step by step.

Step 1

      Now we create the model. model name is student.java.

Student.java

public class Student {
   private String rollNo;
   private String name;
   
   public String getRollNo() {
      return rollNo;
   }
   
   public void setRollNo(String rollNo) {
      this.rollNo = rollNo;
   }
   
   public String getName() {
      return name;
   }
   
   public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
   }
}

Step 2:

      Now we create view and view file name StudentView,java.

StudentView.java.

public class StudentView {
   public void printStudentDetails(String studentName, String studentRollNo){
      System.out.println("Student: ");
      System.out.println("Name: " + studentName);
      System.out.println("Roll No: " + studentRollNo);
   }
}

Step 3:
      Now we create controller and controller name is StudentController.java.

StudentController.java

public class StudentController {
   private Student model;
   private StudentView view;

   public StudentController(Student model, StudentView view){
      this.model = model;
      this.view = view;
   }

   public void setStudentName(String name){
      model.setName(name);  
   }

   public String getStudentName(){
      return model.getName();  
   }

   public void setStudentRollNo(String rollNo){
      model.setRollNo(rollNo);  
   }

   public String getStudentRollNo(){
      return model.getRollNo();  
   }

   public void updateView(){    
      view.printStudentDetails(model.getName(), model.getRollNo());
   } 
}

Step 4

        Use the StudentController methods to demonstrate MVC design pattern usage.

MVCPatternDemo.java

public class MVCPatternDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      //fetch student record based on his roll no from the database
      Student model  = retriveStudentFromDatabase();

      //Create a view : to write student details on console
      StudentView view = new StudentView();

      StudentController controller = new StudentController(model, view);

      controller.updateView();

      //update model data
      controller.setStudentName("John");

      controller.updateView();
   }

   private static Student retriveStudentFromDatabase(){
      Student student = new Student();
      student.setName("Robert");
      student.setRollNo("10");
      return student;
   }
}

 Now Run your Project and watch the your application Output.

Like this:

Student: 
Name: Robert
Roll No: 10
Student: 
Name: John
Roll No: 10

Unsurprisingly, mobile application development segment has been conquered by fastest growing Android platform within a very short span of time. Its impact can also be seen in the market as leading software development companies have come up with a number of Android application development projects and tools as well.

Talking about this new mobile application development concept deeply, it is nothing but a open source platform that endows mobile application companies with a source and advantage of making use of free applications development tools as well as technologies to meet and beat the users’ demand and to make the Android based smart phones and tablet devices more advanced and useable. When it comes to mobile applications for Android, different types of tools and languages like Java language are used to leave no stone unturned in providing the latest features to users.

SL4A or Scripting Layer for Android making this unique application more advanced as user can note down mobile applications in different supporting technical environment like Perl, JRuby, Python and the list goes on. On the other hand, Android 2.2 version that supports Adobe Flash and AIR technologies as well persuades users to a smart phone developed by using Android application and tools.

For debugging, writing, testing and other related concepts, Android SDK is a one stop solution as it provides an easy access to the aforementioned applications. In addition to this, there are a number of other applications and tools making Android supported smart phones and tablet devices perfect to use. These latest applications include Eclipse IDE, Emulator, C/C++ libraries as System C library, SGL graphics engine, 3D libraries based on open GLES 1.0 applications, SQlite Open Core Media Libraries and much more.

Android app developers make use of Android framework APIs and have a wide range of libraries to take advantage of. The Android platform embraces such C/C++ libraries as System C library, SQlite, Open Core Media Libraries, SGL graphics engine, 3D libraries based on OpenGL ES 1.0 APIs and some others.

Smart phones and tablet devices that have Android applications support have really captured the mobile phones’ market. Now, having such smart phones not only leave a remarkable impression upon, but also keep you in updated with latest technologies and mobile applications.

MVC Hello World Program in asp.net

This article is about create mvc (Model View Controller) application in visual studio 2013.

i am using visual studio 2013 if you don't have visual studio 2013, have upper and lower version it's doesn't matter because upper and lower little bit different for creating project.

Now follow the steps.

Step 1) Open the visual studio and select the File > New > Project.

Step 2) Select the template web the (ASP.NET MVC4 and MVC5 web application).

Step 3) Select the "Empty" Template and razor or aspx view engine. i chose aspx here to use aspx pages for the view.

Now MVC applicatio has been add to in the solution.

Step 4)Now we will add the controller to our application. then just right click on controller in the solution window then "add" > "Controller".

Step 5) Set the name for the controller and add it.

Step 6) The next step we will add the view for our controller. to do that open the HelloWorld Controller. Right click in the index action and click on "Add view".

SO Don't check the "user a layout or master page" because we do not have any master in out application. after adding the view open the source code and add your design. i will add one simple line in it, "Hello World! this is my first application".

Last Step) Open the RouteConfig file and set the default action to open.

Press F5 button and run you application on browser.

This is output your application.

MVC (Model View Controller)

What is MVC?

MVC is a framework for building  web application using MVC (Model View Controller) design.

Model

1. The Model represents the application core (for instance a list of database record).

View

1. The view displays the data (the database record).

Controller

1. The  Controller handles the input (to the database records).

 The Model: 
                 The model is the part of the application that handle the logic for the application data.

The View:
                  The View is the part of the application that handle the display of the data. most often the view are create from the model data.

The Controller:
                   The controller is the part of the application that handle user interaction.

Let's See an Example:

                   Suppose we're developing an online book store. The user can perform actions such as: view books, register, buy, add items to current order, create or delete books (if he is an administrator, etc.). Let's see what happens when the user clicks on the fantasy category to view the titles we have available.

                   We will have a particular controller to handle all books-related actions (view, edit, create, etc). Let's call it books_controller.php for this example. We will also have a model, for example book_model.php, handling data and logic related to the items in the shop. Finally we will have a series of views to present, for example, a list of books, a page to edit books, etc.

What are the Advantages?

               The most obicous advantage we gain using MVC is a clear separation of presentation (the interface with the user) and application logic.

To be Continuous. 

Java Programming

What is Java?

          Java is a programming language expressly designed for use in the distributed environment of the Internet. It was designed to have the "look and feel" of the C++ language, but it is simpler to use than C++ and enforces an object-oriented programming model. Java can be used to create complete applications that may run on a single computer or be distributed among servers and clients in a network. It can also be used to build a small application module or applet for use as part of a Web page. Applets make it possible for a Web page user to interact with the page.

5 Important Rules in Website Design

When it comes to your website, extra attention should be paid to every minute detail to make sure it performs optimally to serve its purpose. Here are seven important rules of thumb to observe to make sure your website performs well.

1) Do not use splash pages

Splash pages are the first pages you see when you arrive at a website. They normally have a very beautiful image with words like "welcome" or "click here to enter". In fact, they are just that -- pretty vases with no real purpose. Do not let your visitors have a reason to click on the "back" button! Give them the value of your site up front without the splash page.

2) Do not use excessive banner advertisements

Even the least net savvy people have trained themselves to ignore banner advertisements so you will be wasting valuable website real estate. Instead, provide more valueable content and weave relevant affiliate links into your content, and let your visitors feel that they want to buy instead of being pushed to buy.

3) Have a simple and clear navigation

You have to provide a simple and very straightforward navigation menu so that even a young child will know how to use it. Stay away from complicated Flash based menus or multi-tiered drop down menus. If your visitors don't know how to navigate, they will leave your site.

4) Have a clear indication of where the user is

When visitors are deeply engrossed in browsing your site, you will want to make sure they know which part of the site they are in at that moment. That way, they will be able to browse relevant information or navigate to any section of the site easily. Don't confuse your visitors because confusion means "abandon ship"!

5) Avoid using audio on your site

If your visitor is going to stay a long time at your site, reading your content, you will want to make sure they're not annoyed by some audio looping on and on on your website. If you insist on adding audio, make sure they have some control over it -- volume or muting controls would work fine.

Application Service Providers and Hosting

Application service providers (commonly referred to as ASP's) have quickly sprouted onto the web hosting scene in effort to provide businesses with new and innovative services. The term ASP should not be confused with Microsoft Corporations software application.

The number of applications provided through the ASP model is growing. Accordingly, there is a growing business of companies developing software for the ASP marketplace. What sorts of applications are being developed? As remotely-hosted applications can provide cost-effective access for businesses to unique software, many of the applications are designed to be of occasional use in terms of use. Others are geared towards using group connectivity provided by through the Internet to provide an application that is flexible. 

 

ASP's have created software programs to handle various business functions as materials management, human resources, financial management, and e-commerce transaction services. 

The variety of solutions provided by ASP's is vast. Many ASP's are doing great business in meeting operational needs of companies across different industries and business functions. There are a number of technical and business issues currently addressed by ASP's to develop and enhance system applications. 

A major advantage for businesses in seeking ASP services is that they provide an opportunity to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. Companies can have access to a wider-range of software products with the possibility of paying less than an outright purchase through usage charges. This allows businesses to access applications that can service particular business needs so companies can focus on their core operations. Furthermore, ASP's are developing new software that can provide business solutions to operating issues not previously addressed through PC-based software. ASP's also remove many of the technical administrative and maintenance issues associated with software by providing real-time upgrades, remote hosting, remote dial in customer support and overall software management. 

Web hosting companies are involved in the development of applications – however, many of the hosting companies serve to provide network management and serve the application remotely to users. In providing ASP-related services, these companies are essentially AIP's (application infrastructure providers.) 

For mainframe web hosting applications, ASP service providers are pioneering a new way to host and maintain business applications.
