Geolocation- The Technology Behind GPS Based Services

On September 6th, 2017 in technology
You can take any social media, utility, or e-commerce app now, your location will be required for at least one or another purpose. The technology used for this trend is called Geolocation, and you can easily use it with a GPS-enabled smartphone. download

How does it work?

Any geolocation app does two things-
  • They report your location to other users
  • They associate real-world location (such as restaurants, superstores, events, etc.) with yours.
GPS work on the basis of the GPS chip installed in your phone that provides your exact location with geolocation apps like Google Maps. It gives the most accurate results when you are outside in clear sky. When GPS signals are unavailable, geolocation apps take the information from the cellular network triangular and your approximate position, though it would not be accurate. Some geolocation systems use GPS and cell site triangulation in combination to zero for the device location. This arrangement is called Assisted GPS (A-GPS). The geolocation app gives accurate results in the fairly clear sky. It causes problems in localities where storefronts are in close proximity. These issues are solved with A-GPS. ID:40746532

Favorite of Tech-Biggies

Geolocation has become mainstream. The tech giants are not only looking forward to it, they have made it one of the features for their apps. From Facebook to Snapchat, all these social media apps have special geolocation features. Facebook launched the geolocation feature that tells your location to your friends, while Snapchat has recently introduced the geolocation along with amazing graphics. Apart from this, Google introduced Google Buzz. Twitter has introduced the geolocation API that allows third-party developers to incorporate the feature into their apps.

Geolocation and Privacy

Unfortunately, your privacy is a major concern while sharing your location on social media. It puts your security at risk. Though companies are working hard at keeping the privacy and reducing potential dangers, without always succeeding. Most apps provide you a certain level of privacy. geofencing-and-geolocation  

Application Based on Geolocation

Geolocation has become advanced with time, it has been applied to many location-based applications. Our team has also developed applications based on it called Vehicle Tracking System, GeoRadius, etc. These apps are used for fleet services, tracking services, taxi dispatch services, employment tracking services, field force tracking, etc. Also, these apps are used to provide solutions related to vehicle protection and personal safety. Apart from this, our team has also developed an app called Fooda which is used to order food from nearby restaurants. It has also used Geolocation technology for ordering food.  

Where is it heading?

Right now, real world applications of Geolocation are growing at fast pace. Apart from mobile data penetration and gaming, the location-based apps are used for many important operations in different industries. Enbake has dedicated team in the field of GPS telemetry who has been working on location driven mobile and web apps for industry verticals such transportation, food delivery, education, personal tracking, and insurance.

Solidus: Next Generation of Spree Commerce

On August 17th, 2017 in technology
With Spree being acquired by First Data Corporation, they have stated that their support for the Spree open source project will be less. So, there is a new platform which is rumored to be equally good as Spree i.e. Solidus. It is a new open source e-commerce platform for high volume, complex super stores which is built on Ruby on Rails. It is a mountable engine that provides a scalable, stable, and highly customizable platform for e-commerce. solidus-ecommerce-platform-open-source-Blue-Stout

Let us dig a little bit deeper to know more about it.

Spree Commerce has been one of the best open source solutions built on Ruby on Rails. The reason behind is its lightweight code, minimal and modular approach from the first step. Apart from this, it is highly customizable and can be integrated easily. This is the reason, developers working on Spree were highly motivated, boasted quicker site load times and overall better storefront performance. Now that Spree is moving away from the open source project, there is a new solution for the enthusiasts: Solidus.
As mentioned above, Solidus is a new open source project which is carried by Spree’s open source community. They are creating high-quality code to overcome some of the problems people faced while using Spree. But, the truth is Solidus is not a replacement of Spree, it is a fork of Spree.
By fork we mean the development team has chosen a different path to build the same product on a different way. Spree Commerce project has been forked into Solidus. Spree 2.4 gave Solidus a foundation of Spree and diverged to a different direction. Related image

Is it better?

Solidus is a forked version of Spree 2.4, so it is similar to Spree. But it is moving forward with a vision of making following things better:
  • Increase the code integrity
  • Well defined extension points for simple and safer customization
  • Making it more secure
  • Introducing clear and stable API
  • Clear and straightforward migration path

Let us check out the Pros and Cons of choosing Solidus-

Pros-

  • It is Spree 2.4 but a better version as Solidus has improved the product immensely.
  • Dedicated development team.
  • Solidus has created a slack channel for developers to always have access to support.

Cons-

  • Many companies are not using it yet.
  • Many companies think that the solution is ‘too new’ to be used.
If we think about it, logically, then Solidus is just a newer and better version of Spree. So the ‘too new’ argument is actually invalid. Related image

Let us check out Pros and Cons of Choosing Spree-

Pros-

  • Highly customizable
  • It is simple and can be used according to customer’s need

Cons-

  • Spree is no longer supporting the open source project
  • The vulnerabilities and issues of Spree may not be resolved
  • Major contributors have moved on to other projects
How to migrate to Solidus if I am still using Spree?
Migrating to Solidus is pretty easy. But you need to keep few things in mind before migrating to Solidus. First, if you are using any earlier version of Spree than 2.4, then you need to upgrade it to version 2.4 before migrating. Second, if you are using the latest version of Spree, Soludius would recommend you to upgrade it to Solidus 1.1 which includes updated migrations to support data from Spree 3.0.

Wrapping up

In conclusion, there is no need to panic if you are still using Spree. It is not a huge change or leap. In fact, it is a continuation of Spree with improvements. Solidus has got the support of some major brands like Bonobos, AYR, and Stembolt, so we can say that the future looks promising.

Things You Should Know About SEO

On August 1st, 2017 in Creative, technology, Web Designing and Development
Competition brings out the best in everyone, especially when it comes to business. Almost every business has a website which is important for growth, but what is the use of that website if it is not visible to the visitors? Having a website is meaningless if it doesn’t help you in growing your business. Image result for SEO If your website doesn’t show up in the first few pages of the search engine, the people would not even notice it. According to a research, 89% of people use search engines to look for products, services, and information. But how do you manage to rank well on search engine pages? The answer is through Search Engine Optimization.

Know more about search engine optimization

It is the process of getting traffic from the free, organic and natural search results on the website, also known as SEO. Most popular search engines rank the web pages on what the search engine considers most relevant to users. The term refers to the process of tuning a website to achieve a high ranking for specific keywords or phrase. Image result for SEO SEO is not what it used to be 2 years ago. Now, the key to SEO is meaningful content.

Problem

The main problem you will face is that very few companies and people know how to optimize a website or what to do afterward. Yes, it is possible to create an attractive site, but there are hundred such websites which look the same. SEO majorly depends on the content of your website. So, you are supposed to put original content on your website. Image result for SEO You need to hire a company who know about search engines and how they prioritize and rank the website. They should know about things like website traffic, social networking, and other technical aspects.

Conclusion

Image result for SEO So, after know about the search engine optimization and the problems, we conclude that the focus of SEO should be on the searchers, not the search engine. All the search engines have the same criteria of ranking page. They rank on the basis of what is most relevant to the user. So, rather than focusing on what search engine wants, the company should focus on what the user wants to see. This is what makes your website’s ranking better.

Ruby Metaprogramming

On July 3rd, 2017 in programming, technology
Ruby is definitely one of the most widely used languages nowadays. And if you are also working on Ruby, you must have heard the word ‘metaprogramming’. Even if you have used metaprogramming, there are chances that you didn’t understand it completely. Metaprogramming is an important concept of Ruby, and you need to understand the usefulness of this concept. the-black-magic-of-ruby-metaprogramming-1-638

What is ‘metaprogramming’?

It is a technique in which the written code writes itself, you can say programming of programming. This might sound confusing, but it is pretty simple to understand and work with. It helps you to add, edit, or modify the code while it is running. It can be used to create new methods or delete the existing ones. One can also reopen or modify existing classes, catch methods that do not exist. Repetitive coding can also be avoided to keep your program DRY.

How ‘Ruby‘ calls methods?

To understand the concept and scope of metaprogramming, it is important to understand how Ruby find a method when it is called. When a method is called in Ruby, it located that method within the code including the inheritance chain.
  1. class Employee
  2.  def test
  3.    “hello”
  4.  end
  5. end
  • charlie_will = Employee.new
  • charlie_will.test # => “hello”
  The test method is called in the example, Ruby first looks for the parent of the charlie.will object because it is an instance of the Employee class, and it has available a method called test, so this method is called. Things get more complicated however when the object is an instance of a class which has inherited from another class:  
  1. class Animal
  2.  def eats
  3.    “food”
  4.  end
  6.  def lives_in
  7.    “the wild”
  8.  end
  9. end
  11. class Pig < Animal
  12.  def lives_in
  13.    “farm”
  14.  end
  15. end
  17. babe = Pig.new
  18. babe.lives_in # => “farm”
  19. babe.eats # => “food”
  20. babe.thisdoesnotexist # => NoMethodError: undefined method `thisdoesnotexist’ for #<Pig:0x16a53c8>
In the above example, mixed inheritance is introduced. Methods defined higher in the inheritance chain needs to be considered by Ruby. When babe.lives_in is called Ruby first check the Pig class for the method, and it is called because it exists in the Pig class.
But if babe.eats method is called the story would be different. Ruby first checks the Pig class for eats method, as it does not exist in it then ‘Animal’ class will be called. In our case, it will respond as eats method exists in Animal class so it will be called. The method babe.thisdoesnotexist will throw an exception NoMethodError because the method does not exist. It means method defined in the lowest level of inheritance chain will be called if the method doesn’t exist, and an exception will be raised.  

After going through the example, we have discovered that Ruby looks up each method as follows:

  1. Ask object’s parent class if it can respond to the method, call it if found.
  2. If it does not respond, call the next parent class, continue until you reach the top of the inheritance chain.
  3. If nothing in the inheritance chain responds to the method call, the method does not exist.
 

Introducing Singleton Method

Singleton class is designed to give you the hold on to Object Oriented programming. It allows you to create an object that inherits from other classes and call their methods. It specifically does it for a single object. It is also known as Eigenclass.
  1. greeting = “Hello World”
  2. def greeting.greet
  3.  self
  4. end
  • greeting.greet # => “Hello World”
On different thing you would notice here is ‘self’. The greeting.greet method has access to the entire object it has been attached to; in Ruby, it will be referred to that object as ‘self’. In this case, it refers to the String value we attached to it. If we had attached it to anything else, it would have returned that object.
greeting = “I like cheese”
  1. class << greeting
  2.  def greet
  3.    “hello! ” + self
  4.  end
  5. end
  • greeting.greet # => “hello! I like cheese”
Singleton class method allows you to add many methods at once without prefixing all the method names. This syntax also allows you to add anything you would add while declaring the class including attr_writer, attr_reader, and attr_accessor methods.

How does it work?

When you work on the singleton class, Ruby needs a way to add methods to the object we are adding to, something that language doesn’t allow. To do so it creates a new class which is called ‘singleton class’. This class is, made the parent of the object we are working on, given the method and changes instead. It is also made an instance of the previous parent of our object so that the inheritance chain remains unchanged:

some object instance > singleton class > parent class > … > Object/BasicObject

Singleton class add one more step to the Ruby lookup method. Now Ruby looks up in the following way-
  1. Ask the object if its singleton class can respond to the method, calling it if found.
  2. Ask object’s parent class if it can respond to the method, call it if found.
  3. If it does not respond, call the next parent class, continue until you reach the top of the inheritance chain.
  4. If nothing in the inheritance chain responds to the method call, the method does not exist.
Not only can objects gain methods from their inherited classes, but now they can also gain individually unique methods as the program is running.

Putting metaprogramming to work with instance_eval and class_eval

Singleton classes are definitely helpful, but if you want to work with objects dynamically you need to be able to re-open them at runtime within other functions. Ruby does not allow you to have any class statements within a function syntactically, but instance-eval helps to do this. This method is defined in standard Kernel module of Ruby and allows you to add instance methods to an object just like our singleton class syntax.
  1. foo = “bar”
  2. foo.instance_eval do
  3.  def hi
  4.    “you smell”
  5.  end
  6. end
  • foo.hi # => “you smell”
The instance_eval method can take a block to evaluate, which can be used to define new methods as if you are writing a class. These methods will be added to the singleton class of the object.
The methods defined by instance_eval will be insurance methods. You cannot add attr_accessor to an instance method; to do so you need to operate on the class of the object instead of using class_eval:  
  1. bar = “foo”
  2. bar.class.class_eval do
  3.  def hello
  4.    “I can smell you from here”
  5.  end
  6. end
  • bar.hello # => “I can smell you from here”
Although instance_eval and class_eval are quite similar, their scope and application are slightly different. But you can remember which one to use in each situation by keeping in mind that instance methods are made by instance_eval while class methods are made by class_eval.  

Conclusion:

After reading all this, you must be still wondering what and where is metaprogramming? Coming back to the point, metaprogramming allows you to create more flexible code, be it through beautiful APIs or easily testable code. Moreover, it also allows you to do that using powerful programming techniques and syntax. IT allows you to create DRY, highly reusable and extremely concise code.  

App Advertising Monetization Models

On June 29th, 2017 in Mobile Development, technology
The mobile advertising market is on its top game at this point in time. Simultaneously, many new mobile ad companies are introducing themselves. And every company has different monetization model. These models can be easily integrated into applications with their SDK. Let us check out these mobile ad monetization models- 201408-Revenue-models

Offer Walls

This model is generally used in games where the user buys virtual goods for real currency. The Offer Wall enhances user engagement with incentive offers as an integral yet nonintrusive part of the user experience. It gives the player a chance to earn virtual goods by performing different actions on the wall. For example, a user gets virtual sign up bonus to sign up into an app. StartApp, Fiksu, and TapJoy offer this model.  

Reward Ads

As the name says, this kind of ad model give away rewards at different levels. The reward is triggered by some event in the app like crossing a level or getting an achievement. A pop up comes on the user screen through which they will get a discount, gift card, coupon, etc. It is a win-win situation for everyone involved. The user will get a reward, and the owner of the app will also get compensated. Pokkt and Kiip are the lead players of this model. Image result for reward advertising

Banner Ads

Most of the people think that it is one of the most effective ways of advertising, whereas the reality is it is an ineffective method. This kind of ads occupies the top or bottom part of the app screen. When the user taps on the ad, different options open up from watching a video to downloading an app. The dominant players for banner ads are Google’s AdMob and Chartboost. Image result for banner advertising

Interstitial Ads

These ads show up at the transition points in an app. Generally, right before the user starts an app or after a game level is completed. Such ads drop off the user to advertiser’s desired URL. AdMob, TapJoy, Unity Ads use this model the most. Image result for interstitial mobile advertising

Native Advertising

Native advertising is basically content based advertising. The content of the particular website or app is shown in the apps’ news feed. This ad model is considered as the most effective way to generate revenue through mobile advertising. Facebook was the first one to adopt native advertising, and show tremendous growth. AdRoll, ShareThrough, and PubNative offer this model. Image result for native mobile advertising

Notification Ads

The notification ads show up on the screen even when the user is active or working on the app which makes it one of the most undesirable model. This model is only supported by Android. Advertiser will be able to push notification ads at any time. AirPush and LeadBolt work with this mechanism. Image result for notification mobile advertising If you are planning to develop an app that includes mobile advertising, you should research and select the different ad models, then design the app to support the model.  

Android O Features Every Developer Should Know

On June 28th, 2017 in programming, technology
Google has launched the third developer preview build with Android O for Android app developers. It has been confirmed that the Android version will be Android 8.0. In the third preview, final Android O APIs and various alluring features were released. The features are categorized in two major categories viz. Fluid experiences and Android Vitals. Let us have a look at them- Android-O-Logo

FLUID EXPERIENCES

Fluid experiences are majorly launched for improving the UX. These features will help the Android app developers to offer better user experience. Check out the features that can be used for mobile app development:

#1 Picture in Picture

This feature allows the user to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, like in smart televisions. In this feature, the screen will be divided into two halves which mean you can play a video and do another task simultaneously. For including this feature in your project, you have to specify the user behavior while switching apps. If one of the apps include video, you have to change the code to handle playback, else updating is not required.

#2 Smart text selection

Smart text selection is the result of Google AI. It will help people to perform tasks related to text selection. It will make the selection task much easier, one need not select the whole content. When you will tap on a phrase, it will be selected automatically. This feature will work for all apps, by default.

#3 Autofill framework

Autofill framework is a boon for e-commerce Android app developer. It will enable the app to pull from user data and suggest for different form fields while will make the login process easier and faster. This feature is also available by default, but the performance can be optimized by the developers.

#4 TensorFlow Lite Google

It is a special version of an open source TensorFlow software library that helps mobile apps remain fast and small with machine learning. Image result for android O

ANDROID VITALS

In Android O, features associated with security of Android app marketplace and optimization of app performance are under this category. Some of the features are as follow:

#1 Google Play Protect

With the introduction of this feature, no app will go on Google play store without examining its security. The apps will be scanned every day to overcome threats. Android O will run escalating security checks even on the unofficial app store. It will allow the users to check for malicious apps and even search for a lost phone.

#2 OS Optimizations

Major improvements in Android O includes improvement in boot time of Android devices, memory management, battery consumption, and overall performance. The boot time of Android O on Pixel is two times faster than Android N. Though there are limitations such as background executions, location sensing and scanning for wifi networks.

#3 Android vitals dashboard

Google has launched the dashboard on Play console which will help the developers to check their app’s performance, identify issues and overcome them. It will also play a major role in app optimization and to grow the user base.
