Crucial Phone/iPad/OSX enterprise programming functionality are coming Wednesday #iOS

Av
Icloud

The Apple platform is poorly represented in business. Since 1982, doing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), meant working on DOS/Windows. Two years jowever, it became suitable for me to do something serious. But we had to let the iFacturas app ve stored on Microsoft Azure servers. Icloud wasn’t an option two years ago, not even last year!


With iOS 5 and iCloud everything change. I would characterize Apple Platform to be very interesting as an ERP development platform.


This is what I need on iOS 4 and OS X Lion:

  1. SQL database 
  2. PDF reporting
  3. In App Purchasing
  4. Camera
  5. API for third party Apple apps
  6. Notification to the users
  7. Localization
  8. Time-taking from the clock

In my last seven posts, I’ve covered just the first two points. Next week I will provide links to external tutorials, services, apps or provide my own explanation


In four days we will get iOS 5, iCloud and Lion X 7.2. Ther we hopefully will get usable:

  1. Synchronisation of database
  2. Cloud storage of database
  3. Backup of database
  4. Imessage as delivery mechnaism
  5. Photostream interface to database
  6. Twitter integration
  7. Notification center


I will need weeks to digest all this new stuff, and integrate it into my earlier projects. What we still will miss in the Apple ERP platform are:

  1. Payments to end-users
  2. Facebook integration
  3. API for web-access

Why do I do this? Well, I need it to clear my thoughts. Besides I need to set some standars for my next ERP app development. People working with me also must have a way to start learning.


Please note me if there are more! I’m happily to upgrade the list if you can prove the need!

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", ...

Hva er den egentlige forskjellen på høstens nettbrett?

Av
Google selger allerede et godt 7’ nettbrett, Nexus, og Microsoft og Amazon har annonsert sine nye som kommer i oktober/november. Rykter vil ha det til at Apple kommer med en iPad Mini i oktober. Alle nettbrettene synes å være utmerkede mht spesifikasjoner og pris. Og brukerne står ovenfor en vanskelig oppgave når de skal velge. Horace Dediu i Asymco satte meg på sporet i å se hvilken jobb nettbrettene skal gjøre for oss. Jeg har valgt å se markedet som fire mobile plattformer, eller «Eco-systemer», som de også kalles.

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.
