Mobile Software Engineering Mobile Software Engineering Mobile MVC Frameworks Outline • Introduction • Pattern • Design pattern • Framework • Mobile framework • Model-View-Controller (MVC) • MVC-based mobile frameworks PART 1: INTRODUCTION Pattern • A way of doing something, or a way of pursuing intent. • This idea applies to cooking, making fireworks, developing software, and to any other craft. • It is a solution to a problem in a context. • Patterns are classified into 1. Design Pattern 2. Architectural Pattern 3. Macro – Architecture 4. Micro – Architecture 5. Idioms or Coding Patterns 6. Language Paradigms Design Pattern • A category of patterns that deals with object oriented software. • Represent solutions to problems that arise when developing software within a particular context. • Capture the static & dynamic structure and collaboration among key participants in software designs • Can be used across different domains. Examples of Design Pattern framework • Made up of group of concrete classes which can be directly implemented on an existing platform. • Written in programming languages. • A large entity comprising of several design patterns. • Concerned with specific application domain e.g. database, web application etc. Design Pattern vs. Framework • A design pattern is a type of pattern and is more like a concept. • A framework is something already coded to be used repetitively. Mobile Framework PART 2: Model-view- Controller Represents the model in a suitable format to interact and access the data, usually called "User Interface" (GUI Java, HTML, XML). Video Samples PART 3: Mvc-based mobile framework .NET Framework Architecture .NET History ASP.NET MVC ASP.NET MVC ASP.NET == ASP.NET Web Forms ASP.NET Web Forms + MVC Pattern = ASP.NET MVC ASP.NET + MVC Pattern = ASP.NET MVC ASP.NET MVC • Microsoft ASP.NET Frameworks ASP.NET Web Forms ASP.NET MVC • ASP.NET MVC is a revolutionary way to develop web applications Built on Model-View-Controller pattern Separation of concerns Invented in 1978 by Trygve Reenskaug Very popular web development frameworks ASP.NET Web Forms • Original design from late 90s. • Strongly typed compiled code replaced script. • Abstract away the web. • Click events replaced “POST” operations. Design Goal • Does not replace Web Forms but provides an alternative framework • Still runs on ASP.NET Caching, modules, master pages, providers, handlers, session state • Embrace the web Clean URLs and clean HTML • Extensible and pluggable framework Pluggable view engines • Testable Maintains a strict separation of concern jQuery Mobile • A touch-optimized web framework. • Developed by the jQuery project team. • Focused on compatibility with a wide variety of smartphones and tablets. • Current version is jQuery Mobile 1.4.5 jQuery Mobile • A unified UI system that works seamlessly across popular mobile device platforms. • Built on HTML5, CSS3, jQuery and jQuery UI. • A wide variety of mobile platforms are targeted, so that no browser or device is left behind. • All jQuery pages are built using a clean, semantic HTML to ensure compatibility with a wide range of platforms. • Accessibility features like the WAI-ARIA are tightly integrated. Features • Lightweight and minimal dependency on images • Progressive enhancement • Responsive Design • Powerful AJAX-navigation system • Touch and mouse event support • Powerful theming framework • Easily customizable • Built on Jquery core • Compatible on various device platforms and mobile web browsers • HTML5 markup-driven configuration for fast development and minimal required scripting Advantages • Save development time to a great extent. • Accelerate the development • Take care of device, OS and browser fragmentation to a great level. • Include media queries that support a wide range of device form-factors • Pretty light-weight. • A large user base and community for all the help that you need during development. Disadvantages • Certain level of design constraints • Customization overload Requirements For Development • Your favorite IDE for HTML • Visual Studio, Eclipse, TextMate, etc. • A web browser capable of inspecting HTML elements / JavaScript debugging • Google Chrome, Safari, IE9, etc. • Device or emulator for testing your application • Mac (iOS Simulator), iPhone, iTouch, iPad if targeting iOS devices • Android device or Android Emulator jQuery Mobile Views jQuery Mobile Data Handling Note: You will likely want to use Backbone.js to enhance native data handling Dynamically Populating UI PhoneGap • PhoneGap (Apache Cordova) is a platform for building natively installed mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript History • Apache Cordova was originally called Phonegap build by Nitobi. • Open-source & free software from the beginning (MIT License), Apache License now. • Nitobi then acquired by Adobe and donated the PhoneGap codebase to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). • PhoneGap is still a product of Adobe. It is a distribution of Apache Cordova. Think of Apache Cordova as the engine that powers PhoneGap. Architechture Sencha Touch • Browser-based mobile application development framework. • Uses similar development paradigms to Ext JS 4. • JavaScript MVC class-based approach to development. • Open source. • Supported by Sencha (VC-backed). • Compatible with most mobile browsers (Chrome, Safari, iOS Browser, Android Browser, Kindle, current-gen Blackberry, Windows Mobile/Surface. • Excellent developer tools and resources. • Compile to native app with either PhoneGap or Sencha CMD. • Native API support for some device APIs. • Several code generation tools available. Advantages • Full-featured WYSIWYG IDE available • Use same IDE, concepts and similar syntax for Touch & Desktop development • Best performing mobile web framework • MVC framework well-suited to large development projects, working in teams • Documentation, Examples, Fig Leaf's Getting Started Tutorials Disadvantages • Syntax and MVC framework can be challenging to master for non- professionals (somewhat mitigated by Sencha Architect) • Performance not as good as native app (but improving) • No visual theme builder, upgrading from older versions typically involves some level of effort.

  • A Survey on Content Management System, Software's and Tools
    ISSN (Online) 2393-8021 IARJSET ISSN (Print) 2394-1588 International Advanced Research Journal in Science, Engineering and Technology ISO 3297:2007 Certified Vol. 4, Issue 11, November 2017 A Survey on Content Management System, Software's and Tools Madhura K Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department, Presidency University, Bangalore1 Abstract: This paper contains a survey of content management system, content management process, architecture and working. Also contains different types of tools and software. Content Management (CM) is the process for collection, delivery, retrieval, governance and overall management of information in any format. The term is typically used in reference to administration of the digital content lifecycle, from creation to permanent storage or deletion. The content involved may be images, video, audio and multimedia as well as text. A Content Management System (CMS) is a computer application that supports the creation and modification of digital content. It is typically used to support multiple users working in a collaborative environment. A Content Management System (CMS) is a tool for creating and managing digital content such as documents, text, web pages, videos and images.A content management system (CMS) is a software application or set of related programs that are used to create and manage digital content. CMSes are typically used for Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Web Content Management (WCM). An ECM facilitates collaboration in the workplace by integrating document management, digital asset management and records retention functionalities, and providing end users with role-based access to the organization's digital assets. A WCM facilitates collaborative authoring for websites. ECM software often includes a WCM publishing functionality, but ECM webpages typically remain behind the organization's firewall.

  • Gender and Sexuality
    Annual Review FAR BEYOND THE RAINBOW. of Critical Psychology 11, 2014 THE CONSTITUTION OF COLLECTIVE IDENTITIES Gender BETWEEN CIVIL SOCIETY AND THE STATE and Marco Aurélio Máximo Prado and Frederico Viana Machado Sexuality Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais e Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Abstract The present work focuses on the constitution of collective identities around the Parade for LGBT Gay Pride “Belô” (Belo Horizonte – MG). Transforming processes, which involves the foundation of al- ternative policies that aim for the equivalence of civil rights and the fulfillment of the principles of citizenship for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender, had been analyzed. We discussed the specificity of these experiences in the city of Belo Horizonte, trying to apprehend them first and foremost in the movement that goes from the civil soci- ety to the political institutional spaces, without losing sight of the other way round. From a historical retrospective of the tenth first editions of the event and of the local activist actions in this period, one can observe the construction of a felling of injustice and the awareness of social rights, besides the formation of political boundaries in the context of an emergent LGBT community. From an analysis of the political opportunities and of the collective identities’ construction, we investigated the strategies for facing, which are structured in this politi- cal scenery, the diversity of actors with whom this movements establish a dialogue as wells as the contradictions and conflicts that derive from it. Various qualitative methodologies were used, as interviews (individ- ual and collective) participant observation (minutes and field notes) and documentary research.
