Challenges that Mobile App Developers Face

Sign up to post in the forum. It’s Free.

“There is an app for that” is the best way to describe why the last two years have probably been the best time for app developers across platforms. Not only have apps entered everything from health, entertainment, education and more, but also created brand new niches for themselves.

The App Scene

For example, the PDA (personal digital assistant) aspect of a smartphone has morphed into the to-do list app industry, each app working to outdo each other, throwing everything from minimal interfaces for note taking to feature-packed software that lets you do everything from making a phone call to recording videos – right inside the app.

The almost overnight-success stories of a handful of mobile games has led to not only games that copy or in many ways emulate the USP’s of app marketplace winners, but also to “gamification” – apps which reward you for being true to your goals or checklist.  And a whole range of apps are designed for industrial purposes, from laying concrete to architectural calculations to even using your device as a controller for factory machinery.

The intense competition has led to a few areas of concern that app developers need to keep in mind which are being explored below:

Device Compatibility

While apps are often devised keeping in mind a certain OS (notably Apple’s iOS) for a consistent experience, a new, emerging challenge is being usable across the entire gamut of devices.

Designing an app that works well, without lags, glitches, bugs and compatibility issues across laptops, computers, mobile, phablet and tablet is often a formidable task. A variety of factors come into play -responsive and adaptive design, the need to showcase content differently, choosing whether the app is online, offline or simply syncs online whenever the Internet is available.

While tablets and phablets are finally mainstream, it is revolutionary experiments like the Google Glass which will pose new challenges to device developers, with new design rules and requirements

Processor Requirements – How much is too much?

With quad-core processors, can we safely assume that the future of mobile are high-powered apps that clock high on the CPU and feature HD viewing? Perhaps not, because at the same time, markets like South East Asia are still biased towards budget phones.

At the same time, even in countries like the UK, people still want more for less. This necessitates rapidly rolling out different versions of apps for different devices as updates, and app developers run the risk of alienating device owners with older specifications. And, in the cutthroat app market where every pixel and every line of code matter, copycat apps which are stripped-down, bare minimum versions of the original often thrive and that becomes yet another challenge.

The Market

Market leaders can radically dent the market. Apple quietly leaving out the CD player in a few of its Macbook editions, or NFC being ignored by many big players means that a technology that has developers vying with each other to develop apps on can be suddenly pointless. Unpredictability prevails in the markets and developers need to take into account the business aspects as well.

Only an experienced app developer like Softwaredevelopers UK understands the dynamics changes in the world of apps and can deliver solutions conforming to clients’ individual needs.

Getting Started With Court Reporter Training

Sign up to post in the forum. It’s Free.

Anyone who is fascinated by court proceedings but does not really want to become a lawyer might want to put some thought in getting court reporter training. This is the person who sits in the courtroom and types up everything that is said. These transcripts are used to review cases and to help juries remember everything that happened during the trial that they might have otherwise forgotten. Before the individual starts to look into training programs, they need to understand that this is a very fast paced job and can be very demanding. It can also provide a very good living.

A person cannot just walk into their local court house and apply for the job. The judicial system cannot hire the person until they have been properly trained. There are some very strict guidelines regarding this training.

This is not the kind of field that individuals can just start on a whim. The training program is very intensive. When the student has completed the training program they will have an associate’s degree. It take the average person around two years to complete the program.

Anyone who is not already a good typist before they go into the program should definitely work on their keyboarding skills. One of the most critical traits a court reporter needs is fast typing speed. Before the court is going to be able to hire the individual, they have to be able to prove that they can type a minimum of 225 words per minute. If the person cannot type that fast they will not even be able to graduate from the program.

Being able to type fast is only part of what the reporter will be graded on. They are also going to be graded on their accuracy. Not only does the student have to prove that they are able to type every word that is spoken during the course of a trial, they are also going to have to use correct grammar and punctuation.

Individuals should plan on spending a great deal of time listening to people. During the course of their career, they are going to have to deal with a variety of accents and speaking styles. While they will be allowed to interrupt the proceedings if they do not understand what a person has said, it is better if they do not have to. Developing a strong ear will increase the value of the individual in the courtroom.

The National Court Reporters Association is one of the best resources for anyone who is seriously considering court reporter training. The association’s website is full of useful information and links about the field as well as educational opportunities. The more time the individual spends learning about the field, the better able they will be to determine if it is going to be a good match for them, or if they should consider a different profession.

Getting Started with the Right to Enfranchise

Sign up to post in the forum. It’s Free.

 

Or Log in.

 

If you are eligible to apply to buy your freehold, (known as the right to enfranchise or collective enfranchisement), the most crucial time is before your lease falls below 80 years which is the same boundary line as for extending your lease. As you may be aware, it is at this stage that the level of premium paid for the freehold increases and you share any profit with the landlord.

When you know collective enfranchisement for your home or block of flats is for you, get an initial appraisal or enfranchisement valuation report from a surveyor. Find one who is experienced in enfranchisement work. This document will prepare the ground for future negotiations. If you encounter problems and you have to go to a Leasehold Valuation Tribunal, you can use the valuation report as evidence.

Do some of your own research first so that you are familiar with the criteria – this will help you not waste time and might even save you money.

Create a list of essential collective enfranchisement questions which need answers:

1) Check the name of your landlord and his contact details?

2) How best does he prefer to be contacted?

3) Are you disputing or in disagreement with any service charges or management issues?

4) Have you attempted to reach an agreement with your landlord?

5) How many flats are in your block?

6) Have you spoken to the other tenants and asked what they think about the right to enfranchise?

7) How many have expressed a wish to be included in enfranchisement?

8) Does anyone own more than 3 flats and are there any non-qualifying tenants?

9) What is the size and type of the flat? ie: number of rooms and floor area.

10) How many years are left on the existing lease?

11) What is the amount of ground rent payable?

12) What does this cover?

13) Where is your flat located?

14) Is your block new? Was it purpose built as a block of flats or old and converted?

15) Are there any outbuildings such as garages?

16) Is there a garden area?

17) Do you know if any current planning applications for the property have been made?

18) Do you know an experienced lawyer who can handle collective enfranchisement?

19) Do you know of a qualified surveyor who is compliant with RICS regulations, or could your solicitor put you in touch with one?

20) Do you know the difference between informal, formal and desktop valuations?

Once you have this information to hand you will be in a stronger position from the start. You can try to informally negotiate a price with the freeholder. Or, by consulting your solicitor, start formal collective enfranchisement proceedings: serving a notice on the freeholder, setting out your offer price for buying the freehold.

One final question to ask: is getting the right advice more valuable to you than the cheapest route possible? Consult a solicitor now and make sure that they specialise in the right to enfranchise!

Bonallack & Bishop are a firm of experienced collective enfranchisement solicitors who can advise you on your right to enfranchise. Senior partner Tim Bishop has grown the firm by 1000% in 13 years and has plans to expand further.

In this age of smart mobile phones one can find a wide variety of phones with a host of them having a separate OS of their own. We have iOS, Android, Bada (Samsung), Symbian, Blackberry, Windows mobile, HP webOS etc to name a few. Since the market is not matured yet – meaning since smart phone is new – so many companies are launching their own products and each have their own set of customers too. So if you are a smart phone app developer you are left unsure as to which technology to go for and build expertise in app development. iOS is the king now but what if Android dominates the market in few years time? Or What if you build expertise in Blackberry thinking it will pick up steam but it does not?

These or similar questions will always bug you since no one wants to be left out. As an app development company also one would face similar dilemma. Some questions like these are to a large extent addressed by cross-platform mobile app development.

Cross-platform mobile development refers to frameworks or platforms as they are called which enable development of apps which can work on any or most of the popular OS available in the market. Given below are 3 good platforms currently available in the market.

RhoMobile – RhoMobile offers Rhodes, an open source, Ruby-based framework that allows for development of native apps for a wide range of Smartphone devices and operating systems. OSes covered include iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, RIM and Symbian.The framework lets you write your code once and use it to quickly build apps for every major Smartphone. Native apps are said to take full advantage of available hardware, including GPS and camera, as well as location data.

Appcelerator – Appcelerator’s Titanium Development Platform allows for the development of native mobile, tablet and desktop applications through typical web dev languages such as JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby and HTML. Titanium also gives its users access to more than 300 social and other APIs and location information. Appcelerator’s offerings also include customizable metrics for actions and events. App data can be stored in the cloud or on the device, and apps can take full advantage of hardware, particularly camera and video camera capability.

PhoneGap – PhoneGap, the recipient of the winning pitch at Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco’s 2009 Launch Pad event, is a FOSS framework that helps you develop apps for iPhone, iTouch, iPad, Android, Palm, Symbian and BlackBerry devices using web development languages such as JavaScript and HTML. It also allows for access to hardware features including GPS/location data, accelerometer, camera, sound and more. The company offers a cross-platform simulator (an Adobe AIR app), as well as online training sessions to help you access native APIs and build functioning mobile apps on the PhoneGap platform.

Cross platform application development in India is new but there are companies which are investing heavily in this area and have developed a good high caliber team by virtue of the fact that they were smart enough to figure out it’s potential early and had invested early in building the right skills. Some of these companies have delivered projects which have been highly appreciated by clients.

Getting Started With Social Media Marketing

Sign up to post in the forum. It’s Free.

 

Or Log in.

 

Awareness is the key in   Social Media Marketing , and if you know how to make the most out of your available resources, success is in your future. Social networking sites may not be able to display your inventory or serve as order forms for your customers, but they are effective means of communicating with your clients.

Building awareness can take many forms such as  Email Marketing , but its main purpose is establishing your business’ name, and letting people know that you have the products or services they are looking for. As soon as you capture their attention, you need to get their interest with offers they can’t resist and reasons why they should choose you over other competitors. Advertising your products in different social networking sites can trigger your customers’ desires, but in order to fully satisfy what they want you need to make sure that your website is streamlined, optimized and organized. Make sure that your Web Design interface makes it easier for them to look for what they need.

Below are a few effective steps for social media marketing:

Step 1: Communication is the key

As an entrepreneur, it is very important that you learn how to differentiate communicating and selling from day one. You don’t just sell your products; you also listen and help your customers with their needs. Advertising via social networking sites is more than just catchy taglines or colorful banners; it is also about building relationships with your audience. Once you are able to acquire this trust, sales will follow.

Take note that social media can be compared to a cocktail party. You are there to socialize, mingle and build your credibility. Always remember that you can hand out your business card without really trying to sell anything. If they are impressed with your capabilities and knowledge, they will contact you personally.

Step 2: Start your own blog

As a consumer yourself, you should know that people are more comfortable purchasing products from businesses/entities that they know and trust. Starting your own blog will make it easier for you to build your credibility.

Step three: Lurk

While working on your blog set up your social media accounts at the same time and start lurking. Just like in a cocktail party, you need to listen carefully first before joining in the conversation.

Step four: Join in conversations you can relate to

Content is the key in making your blog a success and to keep your visitors coming back for more, you need to make sure that what you put in it is interesting and will encourage your audience to participate. It is also very important that you include posts that could possibly answer their questions. Make sure that they are engaging, insightful and humorous because this can directly affect the branding and information of your online shop.

Although a lot of online merchants still find social media marketing uncomfortable and foreign to them, you should defy this trend and use it to your advantage. As long as exert the effort and follow these basic guidelines, you can effectively communicate with your audience and should see your sales sky rocket.

I became interested in Internet marketing during my last year in college. After graduating from Babson College with a marketing degree I took on several jobs working for Internet websites as a consultant on how they could improve their outreach. I thinksthat the best way to help a business of any size is by expanding its horizons on the web. As a mother of 2, I found a way to work from home through the Internet and not leave my kids alone. I believes that a mother can do both work and take care of her family. I have been recommending online jobs for housewives and people who work at home for many years now. This is a way that I can balance the two passions of my life, family and internet marketing.

You must traffic that’s targeted or else you’re not going to make any money from your website. Especially for online businesses these days, getting visitors who are interested in what you’re offering is getting difficult. As the competition grows, and the internet becomes more massive in size, the game is getting harder and harder. If you want to win the game, you need the correct implements and techniques. Google Adwords can be the tool you need and you can get the traffic you’re after. This implement certainly is changing and becoming more difficult, however. If you hope to succeed, you will have to understand the complexity of it and you’ll need to learn what to do to make money off of it.

Don’t be one of those people that just starts without doing the proper legwork because you’ll lose your shirt and that can cause you to want to quit. In this article we will be discussing some common AdWords mistakes that people make from time to time.

If you want to stay away from the first mistake most people make when using Adwords, you’ll want to stay away from keywords that are too broad in nature. You must be precise with Adwords and if you don’t use precise words, you won’t get the intended results. Too many people think that they can just put money into Adwords and then they can sit back and watch the cash roll in. It’s not that easy, however. If you use broad keywords, you may think more traffic will come in, but actually you’ll just lose your investment. It’s important to only use those keywords that target the services and products you offer, and to stay away from any broad ones. If you’re advertising about your Piano Lessons website, then you should target keywords like “learn piano easily” not keyword phrases like “piano”. If you want to succeed with Google Adwords, that’s all that’s required.

If you don’t use Adowrds ad serving, you’re committing another blunder. This implement will make it so that your working ads are given prominence over your other, non-performing ads.

Adwords priorities to ads with a higher CTR rather than ads with a low CTR. You will then be able to make more money from Adwords and actually succeed from your campaigns. All in all, it’s essential to use this service so that you’re not losing anything from using ads that don’t work as well as the others.

You should never just rely on one ad to give you the results you’re after. Even if you’re a great copywriter, you will have to make a couple of ads so that you can change them out once you start getting traffic. You will then have the power to use ads that actually work, and then take the ads out that don’t work. If you can change your ads accordingly, you’ll get better results. This also gives you the opportunity to test your market and see how it responds back.

If you want your ads to be as successful as possible, you need to make sure you avoid these common mistakes. It’s easy to blow off all your money on one single AdWords campaign, but it’s difficult to take that same money and spread it out between different campaigns to generate profits. So be wise in your decisions.

One thing that many people do at times is pampering themselves. For some they do it in a regular basis while others just treat themselves to the luxury of getting pampered when there is more than enough money to cover for basic needs. Imagine the wide margin that wants to get pampered daily. Most of them would prefer to go in a Spa. Technically, the term is widely used today in providing different services. Massage, water therapy, hair and nail services, are some of the services offered and many more. Make sure you have the idea of the things that you may need when you plan to start your own spa business. What are the things you need to prepare? What plans should you be corroborating in order to come up with a good strategy?

First of all, you need to have a business plan. Included in it is the kind of services you will be providing, the concept of spa business you are opening, and materials you may need. You also have to find a good location that is near to the business center yet can provide a view which lined up with the concept of relaxation. The reason why people pamper themselves is for them be relieved from the daily stress of life and to invigorate oneself. That is why, in your business plan, you should also have a market research if your business is strategically in the right location.

How you structure your new spa business is entirely up to you, but it is important to create a detailed spa business plan in order to get your new venture off the ground.

Starting a new spa business can be quite an expensive undertaking, and it will be impossible to raise the startup cash you need to purchase property, rent space, hire employees and buy the equipment you need without a solid and detailed spa business plan behind you.

Licensing is also an important factor you need to get in starting a spa business. That is a requirement since the more certified you are with the regulating bodies like your local government, the more the consumer will trust your business. If you offer services like hair and massage, then it is best to get those certified hair dressers and those that are licensed to do massage. These are just few obligations that you need to fulfill in order to provide a better service for your future customers. All the employees should also be trained altogether to know how to build rapport and give quality customer service.

Make sure to have a state of the art facility, complete supplies and equipments, and other materials necessary for the kind of spa business you will have and the type of concept you will launch. This allows you to compete with competition. With all these you can also set your goals to profit and execute your business properly. Being complete is making you ready for any future challenges in your operation. Making your people ready will initiate and establish you a good name. You will have a good reputation. These things will help you prepare for anything.
