6 posts on #iPhone & #iPad Enterprise Resource Programming: Database and PDF-reporting are covered

Creating enterprise apps for iPhone and iPad isn't trivial. In @iFacturas we used 21 months to get out the current version. Now I'm diving into enterprise programming myself, in order to find a better way to do it. 

If you know me, you also know I'm loving accounting, specially accounting program design. In many years, there has been two important parts of accounting programs, entering data and reports.

Entering data has to do with database and database view programming. Reports with the same database and presenting reports, normally on PDF.

I've just finished a roundtrip on database and PDF programming, and have documented the process and the source here in 6 blogposts:

I may have found the golden egg in #iOS database programming! It's @sensiblecocoa
I've earlier told you about that programming iPhone isn't that hard. That was only partly true however. For database programming in iPhon...

Update: Hands-on with @sensibleCocoa #iOS tableView framework - I see light in the tunnel!
I've got the "Sensible Tableview" installed. I've passed the videos one more time, and now I'm hands-on. Yesterday I tried a small project ...

#iOS PDF programming isn't that difficult either. The hard part is to know where to start ;)
I like to create a PDF file in my iPhone app. I then did spent to much time looking at various PDF framework. I didn't want to reinvent a...

...  Apple's print tutorial for iOS does a good job explaining it. But sadly, the tutorial has a bug in this call. 

When preparing for the following, and hopefully last, post, I decided to try to store the project in github.com to let you easily share it. That drove my tutorial to an halt. Without really knowing anything, I did a git init and git commit command, and suddenly all my source-files disappeared!

I've combined the iPhone 4 Development Essesials for XCode  Chapters 32 and 33, with  Apple's print tutorial for iOS. Most of it is wrapped into the following savePdfFile method:

Good luck with the posts! If you like I may record videos on the post. It depends on the comments…

Predicates in Core Data

Av
Database programming is all about filtering and sorting tables linked to each other. According to the book Core Data , «Core Data is Apple’s object graph management and persistency framework for iOS, OS X, watchOS, and tvOS.» In a sense, predicates are an object version of the WHERE clause in SQL. Just like NSFetchRequest represent the FROM clause in SQL. I never have had problems with WHERE and FROM in SQL, but the predicate format strings in Core Data has been quite a struggle for me. I don’t think the struggle is only my fault. Predicates should clearly be thought, at least to me, as a method of writing WHERE clauses. Here is some notes from tutplus’ Core Data and Swift: Relationships and More Fetching : let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K == %@", "last", "Doe") The predicate format string uses %K (K stands for Key) for the property name and %@ for the value. let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "%K >= %i", ...

How To Disable Google’s Personalization Of Search Results

Do you want to know what the rest of the world gets as answer for their search, instead of what Google thinks you may want to see? I do, therefore the post from MakeUseOf.com by Ann Smarty did catch my interest. She explains it well, both for one-time use and how to change your firefox and chrome browser, and I just copy the one-time part: 2. Disable Google Personalization: One-Time (Browser Independent) Again, you may like the feature and the fact that Google tries to show you what you really want (your favorite sites or sites you are more likely to like on top), but in some cases you will want to see “real” results (for example, to check how your own website is doing). In this case, what you need to do is manually modify the search query URL path: just add this parameter: pws=0 The ‘pws=0′ parameter removes the search personalization: If you don’t want to add the parameter manually, use this browser bookmarklet (courtesy of  Google System Blog ): Turn off Google perso...

Photo from Hotel Continental website 200 persons, mostly investors, joined to see what 20 startups could offer in Oslo after the finance crisis . I was astonished to see so many foreign investors, from US and from UK. There was in my opinion a lot of great projects . Since I also presented, I could only follow some: Yes Game : They have ingenuos  reduced the chess board from 8X8 to 5X6 by taking away all second officers. In that way they have create a Chess Attack, which can take you into the final stage of a chess party immediately. They have it for iPhone and very important, also as a physical board. uformia created software very well suited for 3D printing. The CEO Cherie Stamm was an American living in Norway. She softened every Norwegian heart when the said the reason was our beautiful nature. 3D Printing is in my opinion a possibility for the Western society to rebuild the manufacturing industry we lost to China. kikora presented a math editor, which evalua...
