It is Cordova way or No way

Apache Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. It allows you to use standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development, avoiding each mobile platforms' native development language. 

Applications execute within wrappers targeted to each platform, and rely on standards-compliant API bindings to access each device's sensors, data, and network status.

Cordova

Apache Cordova is a collection of code libraries and APIs that allow a mobile app developer to access native device function such as the camera or accelerometer from JavaScript. Combined with a UI framework such as Dojo or Sencha Touch, this allows a smartphone app to be developed with just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
When using the Cordova APIs, an app can be built without any native code (Java, Objective-C, etc) from the app developer. Instead, web technologies are used, and they are hosted in the app itself.

Because these JavaScript APIs are consistent across multiple device platforms and built on web standards, you can port to other device platforms with minimal to no changes.

Apps using Cordova are still packaged as apps using the platform SDKs, and can be made available for installation from each device's app store.

Cordova provides a set of uniform JavaScript libraries that can be invoked, with device-specific native backing code for those JavaScript libraries.

Cordova is available for the following platforms: iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Palm WebOS, Bada, and Symbian.

This is yet another example for the KISS Principle.

Happy Cordova'ing guys. Apache rocks.

Things of Future - Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing concept that describes a future where everyday physical objects will be connected to the Internet and be able to identify themselves to other devices. The term is closely identified with RFID as the method of communication, although it also may include other sensor technologies, wireless technologies or QR codes or new met

The IoT is significant because an object that can represent itself digitally becomes something greater than the object by itself. No longer does the object relate just to you, but is now connected to surrounding objects and database data. When many objects act in unison, they are known as having "ambient intelligence."

The excitement on what's possible is only increasing everyday. The champion NFC and its brother technologies have taken computing to an all time new height.

Computing is for pleasure, computing is for emotion, computing is for better living.

Add intelligence to your life - inteliscan.in

Over the last decade, putting innovations into real use has been exciting me more than the actual innovations. The consistent belief and conviction on how a new idea can be used always surprised me to the maximum. Take a look at how distance communication leaped out with mobile technologies. Always amazed looking at commercializing and maximizing the use of GPS and GPRS technologies.

Then came the real surprise use of 3G and 4G spectrum and the communication and interaction making way out for more realistic and instant

Currently trending techniques are educating consumers to use communication to authenticate what they see, what they consume, using simple but effective communication tools. As a consumer, I do not need to bother where and who authenticates my subject, but they are all available around me through my Touch Screen and the Index Finger.

I mean, literally connecting the screen of my Smart Phone and my Index finger, I can authenticate, communicate, validate and verify what I need, I want any time.

Had an opportunity to evaluate use of traditional tractability techniques like bar codes, data readers and the complete gizmos.

I know you will be keen to know what is next. Have a look at our new product intelligent trace-ability tool for anything and everything. Visit inteliscan.in - Engage and Assure Instantly.
