At first we thought it would be hard to develop a SMS based application as we were new to that. But it was fun to develop it after understanding the logic behind it properly. Actually the whole process of developing the app was a new experience to us. Indeed we came across some difficulties specially when simulating the app. But the support materials they have provided in the AppZone.lk site were fair enough for us to get on board. We watched the videos on AppZone.lk and it was a huge support to clarify the problems we had. Anyone who is new to developing apps can get a good knowledge by simply referring those videos. It is no rocket science at all, if you have the will and a good business logic which will catch up by the customers.</span></div></div></span>Sachith Senarathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01285593172975297504noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5346065408087462538.post-90853614149681789332010-12-14T19:44:00.000-08:002010-12-14T19:48:46.021-08:00Cloud Computing<p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; text-align: justify; "></p><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Internet Based</b></span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Resource Sharing</b></span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; ">Virtualization</span></b></span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; "><b>service Oriented Architecture</b></span></span></li></ul><p></p><p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; "><b>Cloud computing</b> is a technology that uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications.
