App development for School District

I am looking to create a app that has our events, twitter feed, school calendar, facebook page etc on it. I have never develpoed before and would like anyone who can give me some guidance or sample code. This would be baisically pulling data from our website but with a pretty GUI.

For someone coming here looking for help you have a funny way of doing it.
You were given sound advice by a knowledgeable poster who is volunteering his time to help. Considering the information you supplied his advice is correct.
First if you have no prior programming experience the chances of you coming up with a useable app in the next few years is slim. Second how can you limit the app to IOS, what about all the parents using Android phones? What happens to them?
Why not start with the other districts you say that are near you and have implemented this? Given that they have already done this their advice will be much more relevant then anything you will get here.
The article you linked to was interesting. While I am a firm believer in a strong public school system the waste in duplication of effort for all these districts to be developing their own, essentially identical apps, does give one pause.
As the district isn't making any money off the app, why not see if one of them won't share what they have done so far.
Finally you'd be better off approaching this from the design of the web site. As was noted in the article some districts have redesigned their site to be accessible from all devices.
And if all of these doesn't change your mind try Start Developing iOS Apps Today
good luck

Local hosted exchange (2013) to Full Online Office 365 for School District : Pointers for migration appreciated!

Good afternoon all,
The school district I manage is currently using locally hosted exchange server(s) for mail. (Server 2012 box that has Exchange 2013, and an older Server 2008 box that has Exchange 2010)
We are wanting to make the migration to full online Office 365. We're talking about 450-500 mailboxes maximum.
In order to do this as seamlessly as possible, I need some help.
Any of you pros that have any gotchas/recommendations/best practices or walk-thrus for this i'm all ears.
Thanks so much, i really appreciate any help that can be given on this.

Vasil, thank you very much for this...it really helps a lot. One question for you, and i hope i'm understanding this correctly. In our school district, we have 2000+ students, and 350~ faculty. We will still be locally managing our users (who will
be tied to email addresses that will then be hosted in office 365) through local active directory. Will this be a problem? The only reason I ask this is because of reading this: Do you want to manage user accounts in your on-premises organization? No (listed
for cutover) We will keep our user account management (if that's what this is talking about) local on the DCs that are on our domain through ADUC. Is this what it's talking about, or is it talking about managing their email addresses? Maybe i'm making this
more difficult than it is... thanks for all the help!

Small App Development for Lollipop Know How

Hi Guys,
Let me introduce myself, i'm hansip87 that is known for my own Small App for Sony Xperia device such as Media Viewer Small App and Fast App Switcher Small App. With this post, i only want to help any other small app developers about developing small apps for Lollipop and so on.
I contacted Sony Mobile Developer team to request Small App API SDK for Lollipop. Unfortunately they have no plan to update the Small App API to Lollipop. Instead, they give me a workaround to compile the project with Lollipop SDK. Here are the steps from them:
Step1.
Change the ProjectBuildTarget from "Sony Add-on SDK 3.0" to “Android 5.0.1”. (A build error occurs temporarily then)
Step2.
Include a path of the “(sdk root dir)/add-ons/addon-sony_add-on_sdk_3_0-sony-19/libs/com.sony.smallapp.jar “ to the “java build path” in a project.
Now all these steps are OK IF you don't use proguard. If you do, please add this line to your proguard.project file:
-libraryjars (sdk root dir)/add-ons/addon-sony_add-on_sdk_3_0-sony-19/libs/com.sony.smallapp.jar
That way will ensure that your Small App can be compiled correctly.
Hope this post helps other Sony developers. Cheers!

As much as we appreciate the post - I have had to remove the links as per the forum rules ref advertising your own apps and or site etc

Do you offer a price reduction for app developement for Non profits.

We are developing Apps for our church and were looking at the cost of developing and Apple app. We are a small church so do you offer any type of discounts for non profit apps.

You are not addressing Apple here, only other users like yourself. You will need to contact Apple directly with this question.

Looking for top mobile app developer for quick convo / advice

Hi,
This is an unusual post. I have what I think is an awesome idea. I am fumbling with the notion of making in open source. I want to network to top mobile app developers to discuss it. NDA required. Patent pending.

Are you sure you need an app? Could you do this with an internal web site? You can use mobile styles and it would be indistinguishable from an app.

Start Development for Fiori app for my organization

Hello Experts,
I am starting with custom app development for my organization and I am not able to sure which development environment I have to use.
SAP River RDE or Eclipse.
Also If I would like to use either of above then what kind of licensing and setup required for my organization.
Could anyone please help on the same.

Hi Masayuki,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I checked the River RDE and as I understood it is web-based tool.
So I just would like to know if I would like to use it for my ogranization then what setup is required. Is there any licencing for this as our organization is end client and we are going to use for our production environment. Also, how I can save my applications on our SAP productive environment.
Could you please help me with this .

Ubuntu Touch app development in Arch?

Has anyone here done any app development for Ubuntu Touch?
I been wondering how I could set this up on Arch to start experimenting with Ubuntu Touch SDK (since I use Arch on all my computers and doesn't really want to switching my main desktop to Ubuntu.... since I have everything configured the way I want already... for everything else).
I was trying to search through AUR for ubuntu-sdk, but I could not find anything.

I have the same problem. I'm really not understanding the way Launchpad does stuff, but I will try again to get what I need there. I think the only thing you should need is the Ubuntu qtcreator plugin, the rest of the "Ubuntu SDK" and its dependencies should be available in the main arch repos.
EDIT: Found the page that's probably the most important: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-team

NEWBIE SOA Question:Appl Development for SOA

This question may have been answered elsewhere; if so, my apologies.
As a newbie to SOA, I am trying to wrap my head around the question of how app. development for SOA differs from traditional models. For example, non-SOA environments there are few external considerations when coding a process,
but in SOA environments, I understand everything is a service.
Can someone provide a few code snippets as to how they would look in each environment?
I have read through several documents on SOA and have done the SOA tutorial, etc. but I have yet to see a side-by-side comparison of application code in SOA and non-SOA environments.
How would an architect plan the translation and mapping of business objectives and functional requirements into a technical solution for SOA, architecting the SOA solution ?
I would really appreciate any pointers (links to articles, etc.) in this direction. Thank you.

Hello Gordon,
SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) - as the name indicates, it's design is based on services. SOA is another integration technique which is used for small scale integration. SOA is an approach to have software resources in an enterprise available and discoverable on network as well defined services. Each service would achieve a predefined business objective and perform discrete units of work. The services are independent and do not depend on the context or state of the other services. They work within distributed systems architecture.
Few links which may help you in understanding SOA and it's design patterns -

Why are most apps only for apple products?

Why are most apps only for Apple products.???
why aren't most of the apps developed for other systems?

I am equally disappointed by the lack of Android support.
Just a guess as to why there is so little support for Android ... I'd bet that Adobe is slow to release Android apps because Android is fragmented with a very broad range of versions out there. Even if Android device owners want to upgrade to the latest version of Android, they usually can't get an upgrade -- this may be a problem with the device manufacturer (there are many of them), a mobile carrier or even Google.
iOS devices only have 1 company involved in the update process: Apple. Since iOS is a closed platform - controlled by 1 company who pushes identical updates to most devices - it is a lot easier to maintain a reliable app for iOS users.
I don't want to switch to iOS devices, but I may have to until Adobe steps up its Android development.

App Development

Hi,
I am just looking for some advice on starting app development for iPhone and iPad. I have knowledge of C# , C, C++ and bit of Obj C. I have installed xCode and tried few examples in Object C and also I have tried MonoTouch. MonoTouch seems very easy to use as compare to pure Obj C. Could you please could you please suggest what is the best , easy and quick way to develop and learn the app development. Is it writing app purely in Obj C or Munotouch or any other framework like Marmalade.
Thanks

I would use Objective-C without any helper frameworks.
If you use non-Apple development tools, you won't be able to ask about any problems you might have.
You'll be restricted to the third-party for support.

Proper schooling for App Development?

Hi, I am curious to know if there are schools that major in app development? Or at least proper training to become an iOS developer? Through proper schooling like Universities or community colleges? I am in Las Vegas, NV and was wondering if they offer it here. Or is it just a computer science degree and then pick up the programming language of iOS developing? Thanks in advance!

That is about as good as it gets.
Don't be fooled by media headlines and stock market reports. Apple has zero respect in universities or enterprise. If you want to write software for Apple products, you generally have to learn it on your own. There are books, online resources such as the ones K T mentioned, and especially Apple's own WWDC, but mostly you have to learn it on your own. One of the best ways to do that is to do all of your computer science assignments on your Mac. Make sure to test them either Linux or Windows before submitting. Your task will be easier (thanks to clang) and more pleasant (thanks to Xcode and the Mac). Your final result will be more correct and robust because you have gotten it working on multiple platforms.

I just created a new AppleID account for school and it won't allow me to review my account for iTunes. Which has led me to be unable to install the apps I need for school

I have an iPad Air given to me by my high school. I just created an AppleID account for school usage, but every time I try to install apps a little pop-up comes up. The pop-up tells me to log into my AppleID account and then takes me to iTunes. Since my AppleID account is brand new, my account has not been logged into iTunes before. Another pop-up shows up telling me to "review" my account (asking me to agree to the iTunes/App Store agreement, entering my address, credit card info, billing information). I enter everything but the credit card information because since this is my school iPad I will not be purchasing anything so I clicked none for payment. No matter how many times I complete this form, I can not get pass it and a red sentece comes up telling me to contact iTunes support for assistance.

Have you done as the message tells you and contacted iTunes Support ? If not (these are user-to-user forums) :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
- then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
