Getting Started

The main purpose of this book is to include all factors which are used in making applications, which contribute to appropriate solutions, ideas, technology choices, and then launch an application being made to the users. Applications must allow us an easier, faster and better quality handling of repetitive cases in the real world.

 

Daily routines

Purpose of an application

When we have an idea for an application or get a request from one customer, it is necessary to examine its actual purpose of use according to the actual needs of the real world. That means that things which are recorded on a paper or remembered in our brains and routines which are performed repeatedly, we convert into an application.

Repeated work performed by application

 

In such a way things that are repetitive and tiring for a man, may be put into the computer, which means that it will be easier for us and our brains to think about other important issues, such as decision-making based on information analysis and vision applications.

 

The application itself will be completed according to the users` needs and requirements. With time we have to add to the application new functionalities in accordance with the needs and requirements that the users have to make an application perfectly suited to the actual processes and users and thus saves valuable time in recurring tasks.

 

This same principle of optimization work in manual work would be more difficult to reach, since it is more difficult for people to get used to different processes than to change the application itself which could guide the user through optimized work process.

 

Even repetitive work, if it is carried by an application, will be always made the same quality, and if the user`s interface is simple enough at user`s leaves there is no chance to make an error, as this could happen if the same work is performed manually.

 

The problem gets the solution

The application and user requirements

When planning the application all functionalities must be discussed about. The application should enable them and they should be taken from the real environment-life. When planning the application we need to draw a wireframe how the application will look like - set of basic elements that will be used, colours.

 

It must be written down how it will be implemented according to specific cases of use and functions, what in an application occurs, displays according to the certain action of the application.
