I'll try to summarize all the work that I took the application DEVELOP Mussage iPhone in a week . If you do not know yet what Mussage, you can read this post !.

I was doing the steps and tools (mostly free) that I was using.

Use Case Diagram

First of all, and basing on the idea, I made ​​a use case diagram with yuml.me

MockUp

Then a scheme harmonized navigation screens with Balsamiq MockUp :

DER

It is time to design the tables that will have the database! For this we use the designer MySqlWorkBench

Xcode

It is time to program in Objective C ...

Also used the following Frameworks, libraries and tools for IOS:

  • FMDB for SQLite
  • JSONKit for and receiving Json parsing the Server
  • MD5 Hash for sending to the server and authenticate the login
  • Internationalization of Strings and Xib in English and Spanish.
  • Views QuartzCore for animation
  • MediaPlayer for playing songs on iPod

Server Side (PHP)

Developed with the IDE Aptana Studio 3 API to provide services to the app and interact with the database.

Web Application for HTML5

To accompany the launch of the app, a website based on a Template and tuned with PHP.

Post in the AppStore

Multitouch. Farewell to click

2 comments June 21st, 2010 2 comments

The mouse came with the popularity of the PC and was one of the reasons for any "simple individual" can handle easily the computer back in 1995. Before he had to make things as difficult as typing "cd wordpress" with the keyboard to access a directory. But now you could double click on a folder.

This great revolution that resulted in the time that peripheral (and just as my parents are about to understand the diferncia between a right click and left click) is about to disappear to be replaced by the multitouch.

While Apple always stood out to offer its users friendly interfaces (such as when he created the one-button mouse) managed to bring their screens millions of users with unprecedented multi-touchscreen mobile phone: the iPhone.

The Touchscreen existed

Has ciendo memory, many years before the release of the iPhone in 2007 and existed touch screens and the best known product was the Palm. The PDA never succeeded. Perhaps because they were imitating the click of a mouse but with a plastic tipped pen that put pressure on the screen (the stylus). And like a cursor, is only a place at once.

I remember seeing pictures from the iPhone online and think "but who wants to touch the screen with your hands?". I was crazy. Is that for decades we have been accustomed to pushing buttons (like Desmond on Lost: "Push the button!"). Cell phones were all with numeric keypad and some offered full QWERTY keyboards (and minutely useless).

So ... how to break the old paradigm of push buttons to dial a phone number? At that time there was a Palm touchscreen model that was also mobile phone and had very few sales. What is the difference besides the iPhone was much more fashionable?

The difference is the Multitouch. And the technology that came with it.

Without going into too much detail I'll try to explain the difference between multitouch system introduced by Apple with its iPhone and the touchscreen system "classic" (which are more like a click). The multi-touch screen is a continuous electrical flow over the entire surface where the visual pose a finger is interrupted. And that disruption is reflected in the device as a "touch". It has the ability to interrupt the current screen simultaneously (using multiple fingers at once) achieving the multitouch. No need to put pressure on the screen. REPEAT: no need to put pressure on the screen:. This new system dispensed with the use of plastic pencils or other items. With the fingers of the hand, so easy.

We must say q ue iPhone with multitouch was accompanied by an operating system for you. The best example to adopt this technology is to manipulate photos with your hands. When you open a photo and you zoom with two fingers is a completely natural experience. You do not have to click a magnifying glass, or a "plus" or type "200%". Slide your thumb and forefinger. It's simple intuitive is incredible. Go to the NEXT photo by dragging your finger or zoom back to the original with a "double tap" (two touch a row). Same for manipulating maps, draw or play Field Runner.

Once you start to use the multitouch and no turning back. You do not want to use more than the mouse. I find this ridiculous, outdated past. Why move a plastic gizmo when I could touch the screen to select what you want?.

Goodbye to the mouse, throw it away.

Supermarket Website

No comments May 20th, 2010 No comments

"The typical U.S. supermarket offers 30,000 to 40,000 different products. The average buyer
tour the store in about 21 minutes, and choose from among this wide range of some 40 000 products, 18 items. Making such decisions is a kind of feat.

But it's nothing compared to what happens on the web. There are a million registered websites, containing 250 million pages. It is amazing to find the appropriate page in the universe, and the number of pages doubles every year. "

Excerpt from the book by Kevin Kelly: "The new rules of the new economy" of 1998, Chapter Abundance not Scarcity. Currently (May 2010) the number of web pages indexed by Google than one billion.

What the hell is Google Trends for WebSites?

No comments September 27th, 2008 No comments

Continuing with the post above (I recommend reading it before continuing), let's talk about "Google Trends for Websites"

With this tool we can see and compare traffic between sites.

But that does not rank ?

( what the hell is Alexa? )
Sure you do!, Chango!

It's basically a cross between Google Trends and Alexa, it is actually in direct competition with Alexa (and other less known www.compete.com , like forgetting that domain! : P .)

We find sites through its domain, and see its evolution in time of visits.

This is a powerful tool to see our own evolution in enterprises, or what is better, the evolution of competition :)

Let us with a practical example:

"Clarin.com, taringa.net, lanacion.com.ar, minutouno.com, ole.com.ar"

What the hell is Google Trends?

2 comments September 11th, 2008 2 comments

Basically Google Trends lets you see the GUI search terms through Google and also compare it against other terms, including criteria such as date or geographic location.

The aim with this?

Knowing trends! chango!

Knowing that is what people want more! and knowing these needs is possible to generate products to cover (MUEJEJE), imagine a marketing department would pussies with a tool like this!

It may even be useful if we are not sure of any synonym, and we can say as the people performing searches (eg free or free) ;)

The only drawback it has is that there are absolute values, if not, on from the first comparison, therefore, to compare the first term will always have the value 1, the value of the remaining terms are relative units the first (basically a multiplier)

Like everything in google minimalist to the extreme, to execute a query just type up to 5 terms / words separated by commas.

Let's make a good practical example for you to understand the potential

Look and compare the number of times they were searched for the words


"Sarah Palin, Obama, McCain"
