Software development is when a user desires to create new software or, usually, upgrade their already existing system for a more efficient one. The users can be as diverse and large as an entire corporation or organization, a team that relies heavily on said software or even a small group of individuals. Once they establish that they wish to create a new system or upgrade said existing system, they will be required to devise and implement a master plan which will lead to the creation of this new system. Several steps are required to complete this software development process. This includes, but is not limited to, working out what the system needs to accomplish, developing it accordingly, writing out the code, thorough testing and debugging, and finally launching, should everything work out. This development process can take as few as a motivated programmer to several or even hundreds of developers. To establish what is required from the system, in other words, the problem(s) that it must solve, there has to be research. Sometimes the problem can be a common one, requiring the creators of new software to make theirs to solve the problem in a way that puts their product ahead of their competitors. However the problem can be entirely new, requiring the team to come up with a method of resolving it. Finally, it can be a recent problem that has been discovered, making the previous software obsolete, requiring a new creation to resolve said problem. And so, at this point of software development, the goals that are meant to be attained are set out. Once...

As if taking the que on the challenge being posed by mobile phone/mobile computers giant Apple Computers, Microsoft have once again showed why it simply cannot be toppled. Steps have been taken to modernize system software for mobile phones. And there is a lot of reason why software development or in this point mobile applications development is very much alive. The Windows Phone OS ease of use with which applications can be quickly prototype or released suggest a bigger looming prospect of Windows 8 (and its release) becoming more of the selling point. Application and systems developer likes Windows Phone as an OS as well as development environment. So as most developers that Windows Phone have matured over the last couple of years and has become a very solid operating system. Citing the phones responsiveness OS and attractive design together with ease of use considered as its strong selling point. Likewise, the Metro User interface – definitely a cut above from the existing iOS and Android has shown the style and usability. And with the finishing touches and lunch of the Windows 8, being in the very near future, leaves the likewise legacy systems at greater far end for the new software development needs. Developers have created more than 100,000 developed windows mobile application have made the Windows Phone a viable and strong alternative against the iOS and Android systems. When an application or modernize software system is ported by the developers they already have in mind the feature to look into the Metro User Interface. Microsoft also encourage to use...

Software conversion also known as computer migration, data migration or software migration is the copying of files from one computer to another computer, usually a newer version. And so, because the user does not want to lose the data and application stored on the “host” computer, they copy the necessary files and applications that are needed. Software conversion can be accomplished by use of an external storage medium such as an external hard disk. However, imagine that you have been asked to transfer data and application of an entire company to the newer machines. That would require more space than the common hard disks can contains. Therefore, looking ahead, certain companies saw this problem and solved it by providing internet storage. This assists users to accomplish software conversion by allowing the needed data and programs to be sent online to a protected server, and so after the machines are changed, they data is downloaded into the new systems. Another method involves using a data cable connection when one needs to perform a software conversion. All the user is required to do is either to send the data to the new computer on a network, or backup the data on the organization’s server (if one is present) then restore it accordingly. Sometimes, a software conversion becomes an unnecessary mission in that the machines that are being upgraded to already come with the necessary programs. However, there are several files perhaps that the user still requires, and so there is less that needs to be moved. If any applications, never the less, there may be a few programs the...

PowerBuilder has for years been considered the best application development software among RAD softwares. Its main benefits are speed and simplicity, which are offered by its DataWindow component. Unfortunately though, due to advances in technology, programming languages as well as business needs PowerBuilder is falling into obscurity. The results of this are diminished support services as PowerBuilder experts are becoming scarce and a lack of extensibility for Power Builder based applications. This has necessitated migration to modern platforms such as Java and Microsoft .Net platforms. Legacy migrations such as PowerBuilder to Java have their benefits as well as complications. The main benefit that is reaped from the PowerBuilder to Java migration is platform flexibility. Other advantages associated with this migration are both platforms have the same type of look and feel and PowerBuilder to Java has some degree of automation. There is error handling and security as well as near exact replication. As an upgrade, the PowerBuilder to Java migration provides similar services as the PowerBuilder Classic version, just with more efficient technology. As such the Power Builder to Java upgrade should be able to provide the same productivity levels and higher in a modern environment; little to no limitations on the target server platform as well as an open, flexible platform development environment. This means the upgrade should enable application design and creation using the latest software development methods. Maintenance costs should also be reduced. As with any legacy system migration, quite a bit of money and expertise is needed. Further more migrations such as PowerBuilder to Java can be risky and complex as critical business applications are involved. Thus the...

It is important for businesses and organizations to keep their modern enterprise software in pace with dynamic organizational or business needs. An organizations middleware must evolve along with that organization or business making sure to keep in touch with business changes such as growth, seasonal variation or contraction. Middleware should possess characteristics that allow it to be easily modified to accommodate such fluctuations as well as flexible and cost efficient in order to fully benefit its users. Oracle WebLogic Suite 11g, a foundational element of Oracle Fusion Middleware is a modern infrastructure foundation that offers just this. Oracle WebLogic’s design principles, best-of-breed and integrated hot pluggable contribute towards improved agility and astuteness of business applications while lowering IT costs and maximizing efficiency. This technology offers the ideal mix of scalability, performance and operational efficiency to support contemporary IT requirements driven by dynamic business needs. The following are just a few business and organization benefits of Oracle WebLogic suite 11g: Fast application server: This Oracle WebLogic server is proven to offer its users top performance. Regardless of whether it’s running on a single or multiple application server instances in support of your organization or business’s applications, Oracle WebLogic server offers its users the fastest performance. With most data centers deploying the newest hardware architectures including 64-bit memory, multi chips and high speed network connections it is only natural that they require a modern middleware application infrastructure foundation that offers server speeds that are not only advantageous to the end user but also help reduce costs with regard to hardware savings (more transactions per server) as well...
