religion". The study showed, when the apple fans spoke about the apple
product or a religious person spoke about his religion; the exact
brain cells activated for both of them. Such a strange fact.
Personally I have some friends who where anti apple when the
iPod came out. They hated it more when the iPhone came. But guest
what, I was planning to create an apple app but found out that these
guys have already started the ground work. That is how influential the
environment around people can be. People who used to hate it, love it
after actually using it. Another fact, most of my friends you have
photography as an hobby end up buying one of the mac machines and
later buy SLR camera. One more thing, they have all gone to
photography classes also. Crazy guys.
The reason I am writing this blog today is also because of the fact
that I wanted to create a simple app icon on the home screen of a
iphone / ipad that could lead me to my personal website / home page.
I achieved what I wanted. At least The initial steps. I am so glad.By
profession I am a Business intelligence developer, I work on reporting
platform, data warehousing. I have lost touch with the core coding. I
do write simple java based codes or scripting or jsp but not the C++
level.
I designed the template of the IBM COGNOS 8 reports to fit into the
mobile safari. Basically a web based application. A dynamic icon is
created with the exact report name that you would have created. This
way, the end user is only a touch away from his reports. Cannot
discuss anything else. CONFIDENTIAL. I am working something similar on
my personal website (which is not for commercial usage) and I will try
to put some screen shots.
Click on the app icon, enter user name password and your report is
ready. Simple isn't it.
I certainly think this is a great idea to integrate Business
Intelligence and the iPad users in the most cost effective way.
