Apple iPhone 5 And iPad-Mini: Rumors Or Truth

Posted on by Jay

Lately there are rumors about the iPhone 5 is being under development to have a year end release. If the rumors are true then it will surely bring an excitement among iPhone application development industries.

With marginal improvement to iPhone 4, Apple launched the iPhone 4S in 2011 with voice recognition system Siri and a cloud storage service iCloud. Based on the iOS 5.1.1, iPhone 4S acts as hotspot by sharing its internet connection over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB and also users can access the App Store.

A reports say that a Taiwan based manufacturer is assigned with the development of iPhone 5 and the manufacturing process is under way. As per the rumors, the new iPhone will have the back of both glass and aluminum. The most debated features that the iPhone 5 may have are: 7.9 mm thickness, Retinal display, near field communication technology, Passbook feature from iOS and a quad core process in hardware configuration.

Never miss an update from us. Join 10,000+ marketers and leaders.

Above all these there is also a possibility that iPhone 5 will come with a 19 pin dock connector instead of the current 30 pin connector, to include the headset jack aside. If this happens all the old dock connectors available with current versions will be useless.

Apart from iPhone 5, there are also rumors about an iPad Mini(a smaller version of iPad) will be launched in near future. As per anonymous resources its been claimed that the new iPad Mini will have a screen size of smaller than 8 inches compared to 9.7 inches of iPad. The third generation tablet iPad3 has major features like high resolution Retinal display, 5 MP iSight camera. And it will come with iLife and iWork apps.

If Apple is taking majors to develop iPad Mini or any similar product, hopefully most of these features or some better features will be incorporated into it. As per reports the iPad Mini will be launched during Christmas season of this year. But again there is no official announcement from Apple about these rumors. If iPad Mini is under development then it will surely give tough competition to Google’s recently released tablet Nexus 7.

Advance Java and J2EE Helps Java Developer to Built Enterprise Application

Basically Java is an object oriented programming language. It was invented for the purpose of increasing the productivity of both developers and End Users. Java enterprise application development is not an easy task for a java developer being high risky. Before java, Professional developers were doing their jobs faster through COBOL, Pascal, C, or C++ in a complicated process and the end user can also build new creative mini applications using various. Now software marketer and enterprise application developers have rush to create creative new generation applications using java with less risk and more user friendly. The fourth-generation programming languages have gone to the back seat and the new generation developers giving more productivity to the market through advance java and J2EE.

Java came in the year 1990 with more portable option with C++ to develop embedded systems by Sun Microsystems. Sun Microsystems has offered java as a programming and development platform. It became an awesome choice for developer and software venders to develop high quality applications and software. Development of business and enterprise application development was bit complex at that time but after arrival of advanced java and J2ee it helped a lot. J2EE is the Java 2 Platform; Enterprise Edition helps in developing multitier enterprise applications. Before J2EE, the Java developers were also facing some problems during the application development because of the following reasons:

1. More use of modules in the projects. We are in the favor of modularity which helps java developers to work separately but when you have few line codes inserting many buckets the developer may face problem.

2. Developer can invent new programming language but Implementation can be done under the underlying platforms with traditional service provider.

3. The steady stream of new UI approaches reflects in the presentation layer due to Java’s lack of leadership.

4. The deficiencies of Java disclose in hibernate, spring, Struts, and other frameworks.

The advanced J2EE model provides modified and simplified approach to develop high quality java application development. The complexity of enterprise applications are managed through its components and application developers are free to stick on their logic. J2EE summarizes the layers of functionality in specific types of components. This helps in faster development in time, better quality, maintainability and portability of applications. It hides the complexity and create flexible user Interaction.

At Andolasoft the Java Developers are dedicated to provide quality Java and J2EE application developments that are robust and performance oriented. We follow Agile Methodology and this iterative process allows us to deliver enterprise applications quickly. Our team of skilled Java and J2EE Developers are highly experienced and ready to take on any technical challenges.

Why Hire PHP Developers for High Quality Web App Development

Posted on by Jay

PHP is a widely-used Open Source, general-purpose, cross-platform & HTML embedded server-side scripting language, that suits web development.

PHP Framework is a fundamental platform that helps programmers for rapid and effective development. It’s one of the powerful tool which helps to tweak code in a standard configured manner & can be used with many relational database management systems (RDBMS).

Reasons of Choosing PHP scripting language

Simple and Easy To Learn

PHP is one of the easiest scripting language to learn and understandable by developers. The syntax is somewhat similar to Java and C. However, knowledge of HTML is the only prerequisite to code in PHP.

Instant Support

When a developer stuck with any coding issue, there are huge numbers of references, forums and support communities available online and they are free. This is simply because, PHP is very popular, widely used and having the largest user base.

Supports All Major OS

PHP can be run on top of major operating systems such as Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac OSX and so on.

Free of Cost

PHP is an open source and 100% Free for use by anyone. This cuts down cost of production as well as hosting. For these reasons it enjoys popularity over other expensive scripting languages such as ASP, JSP and others.

Integration

PHP makes developers life easy as it can be integrated easily with any of the systems like MongoDB, Memcache, Pusher and more. More or less PHP applications can cater any verticals such as banking sectors, health/hospital industry, government sector or corporates and so on.

Frameworks

PHP developers can develop robust application within a very short time frame using a variety of frameworks like Symfony, Slim, Silex, Zend and Aiki. Each framework allows you to avail a set of benefits including code reuse, better session management and database access libraries.

Easier to fix problems

It is obvious that the web application development is not free from issues, however with PHP it is comparatively easier to troubleshoot than it’s counterparts. This is because with each request, PHP cleans up and starts over. So issue with one request does not affect another request.

Scalability

Scalability is always in demand be it for databases, hosting, or programming, scalability. PHP is built in such a way that you can easily increase your cluster size with grow of your projects.

Object Oriented

Java and Windows COM objects can be called called from PHP. Also PHP allows to create custom classes which in turn can be borrowed by other classes. This is one of the useful capabilities of PHP.

Speed

PHP does not take lot of system resource and operates much faster than other scripting languages. PHP maintains its speed even if it is used with other software. Since PHP is out for a long time, continuous effort is on to make it even better. As a result of which it is fairly stable compared to it’s counterparts.

While planning anything on CakePHP, you should always choose a reliable company like Andolasoft to handle your work. Get in touch to convert your ideas into app.
