The largest democracy in the world will see the general elections in 2014 and Mobile Apps , just like other multi media technologies are proving to be a game changer. In the recently held elections in 5 states of India where the number of voters were more than the entire population of some countries of the world, the parties that used social media had an edge over the others. There are two ways in which mobile apps can be put to use in the elections. First is by the political parties, to woo the voters and to make them aware of the schemes or manifestos, Second is by the third parties, like NEWS companies to analyse, aware and to communicate.  Not only in India, the role of Mobile apps has been seen in the 2008 US elections and the recently held Japanese elections too. Focusing on India, AAP’s mobile app connects very much with the public and contains latest blogs from their leaders, opinion polls, twitter and Facebook connectivity, videos and much more. It also has a donate feature ...

We may live in a global world where the financial markets never sleep, but keeping in touch with the latest prices no longer requires us to be tethered to a laptop or desktop computer. The new breed of mobile apps allow us to receive up-to-the-minute charts, figures and analysts' reports while equipped with nothing more than a free-wheeling tablet or smartphone. Below  we've included  ten of the best apps we can find, given the rather specific demands of these programs. The best of these apps are far more than mere conversions of existing desktop software. Even in the normal-sized trading world, debates proliferate about whether it's better to be a 'Technical Analyst', using chart action to plot the next move, or a 'Fundamentals' trader, combing the balance sheets for such old-fashioned snippets of info as revenue and cash flow. Either approach, though, demands access to lots of intricate data, and the cramped screens and limited workspace of even relatively...

While most of us are anchored firmly in the digital world, the landscape of hospitals and other healthcare organizations seems rather primitive, often choosing to drown its inhabitants in a sea of paperwork rather than offering them a versatile and adaptive digital interface that provides them with all the information when and where they need it. Here  we'll look at the reasons  why the mobile app revolution could transform healthcare - and why the wheels have taken so long to start turning. Big systems bigger bottlenecks Most hospitals are now wired into a vast computer system. Yet, despite the presence of so much technology, data entry remains frustratingly backwards. Computer crashes and nurses queuing to get access to the system are just two of the likely bottlenecks. Where doctors and nurses are on the move, they frequently have access to little more than a clipboard and pen. Any notes they make have to be laboriously recopied across into the system - dramatically increasing t...

I am a strong web enthusiast that lead me into learning Javascript. But after learning this scripting language, I must say everyone who uses a computer must learn this language and there are many reasons for this, few of them I am going to list over here. It is the easiest Object Oriented Programming language. It is very flexible in syntax, unlike Java it is not a strictly typed language. It is a cross platform language which can be run on mobile devices as well as laptops. You don't need anything to install, test, run and debug your JavaScript programs except a web browser. Stackoverflow has highest number of questions tagged as Javascript. So, you will be getting best support from the web while learning this language. With introduction of node.js Javascript, which often used to be a client side scripting language, it can now be used for server side programming as well. For any Computer Science student or anyone looking a career in computing, it is essential to know th...

This post is in the continuation of my previous post . In this post, I will tell you about : How to deploy HTML code to build iOS , Android and Windows application. How to retrive the value of the data from the form that we created in my previous post. The submit button that we created in our previous does nothing. In this, we will add some functionality to it. We will show a popup after we press submit showing the values that we entered in the text boxes. To do this, you need to write a function in a javascript. It is a good idea to create a separate folder for all your scripts. I have created a folder named “js” and created a file called “custom.js” in that.   For the popup, you need create a separate “div” tag. Place the code shown above the closing “</body>” tag . < div data-role ="popup" id ="submitPopup" data-inline ="true" data-transition ="slideup" data-position-to ="origin" >     < span id =...
