Building Mobile Apps With the Appery.io Development Platform and Orchestrate Database | Appery.io: Accelerating Mobile Innovation in the Enterprise. Posted: August 11th, 2014 | Author: Dmitry Zaytsev | Filed under: API, Database, Enterprise | Tags: API, Database, Enterprise | Comments Off Appery.io and Orchestrate have collaborated to create this easy-to-follow tutorial on how to build a mobile app. The app is built in the Appery.io visual development platform, connected to an Orchestrate database via REST APIs, tested, and deployed.
Gone are the days when you could afford to take months to build an enterprise mobile app. In today’s fast market, you need to be able to prototype the app in a few days (or even hours), release the first version in a few weeks, get feedback, fix bugs, release the second version. Repeat. This tutorial shows how fast it is to build a real mobile app connected to an API back end when using powerful cloud tooling: Appery.io and Orchestrate.
Orchestrate – database as a service Appery.io – mobile development as a service What we are going to build What you will learn After completing this tutorial you will learn: 1. Apple Acquires Indoor Mobile Location Positioning Firm WifiSLAM for $20 Million. The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has acquired indoor location company WifiSLAM, paying around $20 million for the firm. Apple has confirmed the purchase, but declined to offer any details on its plans for the acquisition. The two-year-old startup has developed ways for mobile apps to detect a phone user’s location in a building using Wi-Fi signals. It has been offering the technology to application developers for indoor mapping and new types of retail and social networking apps.
The company has a handful of employees, and its co-founders include former Google software engineering intern Joseph Huang. Apple has been beefing up its location expertise over the past several years through acquisitions, including small firms such as Placebase, Poly9, and C3 Technologies. With its purchase of WifiSLAM, Apple seems to be adding a new focus on indoor location tracking. Geolocation 101: How It Works, the Apps, and Your Privacy. Facebook wants to know “What’s on your mind?”
Twitter asks “What’s happening?” But that’s getting old already. The burning question for the next wave of social networking is “Where are you?” --and services like Foursquare, Gowalla, Brightkite, and Loopt want you to use your smartphone to answer it. The technology at the heart of this trend is called geolocation; and with a GPS-enabled smartphone such as the Apple iPhone, Google Nexus One, or RIM BlackBerry, you can use it to let your friends know where you are, or to find places recommended by people you know, or to check in remotely at clubs, bars, and restaurants.
Regardless of privacy concerns (which I'll look at later in this article), it looks as though nothing will stop geolocation. How It Works Typically, geolocation apps do two things: They report your location to other users, and they associate real-world locations (such as restaurants and events) to your location. The First Wave of Apps.
Infographic: The Growth of Enterprise Mobility. No industry vertical has been more disrupted by the evolution of the smartphone than the enterprise. Since Apple released the iPhone in 2007 and the subsequent rise of Android, IT departments have struggled to reconcile device and application management, security and software deployment. What to do when every employee wants to bring their own device to work? An infographic from xcube puts the changing enterprise mobile landscape into perspective. For instance, 63% of enterprises look to mobility for cost savings and near 50% are responding to employee demand. Since the end of the third quarter in 2011, the iPhone is the most preferred smartphone in the enterprise at 45%. BlackBerry comes in second at 34.5%. Check out the studious infographic below. Brands are flocking to apps. Business apps were the fastest growing section in the Apple App Store from 2009 to 2010, up 186%.
