My Learnings with current Mobility/Web market trend

Hi,

First of all a big happy new year to all my visitors. Today I would like to share my learning about the current market trend as the winter is going to complete and all the market will start to bounce back in next 30-45 days.

At the starting of my career I used to be in a big misconception like any fresher. I always think ASPX, PHP, JSP, CFM etc are far better than the plain HTML pages. I really felt painful to write plain prototype based html with javascrript.

But now after seeing the market trends and mobility boom I realized the true strength & can confidently say it like HTML is far far away from any other above mentioned server based web technologies. In the coming future the only UI we will see with is developed only with HTML5.

Question : So WHY previously we didn't concentrated on these things, Because HTML already there and which works only via http protocol means we have web services etc to work on.

Answer : Previously the handshakes will be based on SOAP requests with XML and AJAX calls with difficulty of CORS(cross origin - means HTML page should be on same domain of services--> No separation of concerns). Which is too heavy and eats your network speed etc.

Now we have HTML5 with XmlHttpRequest based on JSON along with JQUERY and CSS3 .... BINGO!!! :) .... Now we can opt for these technologies to develop a mobile webapps which need a tremendous network and data quality.

Conclusion : If you know HTML5 you have many options in the market to explore your career. Like a HTML developer can be used for developing outstanding website, web applications, Responsive websites, Hybrid apps, Windows8 apps, Phone gap and many more. Also if you are aware of one server side technology (web services) along with a pinch of DB  knowledge. Then you are a complete package :) .

Even companies also need to concentrate on these sections to have a tremendous future . Cloud computing, mobility, web services and DB(Hadoop, Teradata, etc.) .

Just FYI : Also a tool called XAMARIN getting more and more popular these days. Many MNC's are tieing up with Xamarin and many more bigger MNCs are migrating their apps to xamarin and encouraging their developers to move on. You just need a design knowledge of IOS, basics of android SDK, visual studio, C#..

Its all just because of its powerful IDE. with which you can develop all kinds of mobile native apps with single code base. Isn't that cool ?! :) .

Download file using WCF REST services

Hi, Generally we used to download a file using a handlers and sending parameters as a querystring (lets say download.ashx). Here few cases we might need to impersonate the user also. It purely depends on environment. Here is a sample code snippet just for reference. if (extension.Trim() == ".pdf") { context.Response.Clear(); context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; context.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + queryFile + ".pdf"); context.Response.BinaryWrite(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(file)); } But instead of that we can download a file as a stream using a WCF REST service too. Here is the code snippet for declaration in interface .. /// <summary> /// To fetch documents /// </summary> /// <param name="filePath">Represent text of filepath</param> /// <param name="fileName">Represents text of filename&l

server side printing / PDF conversions using c# and asp.net/wcf service

Hi All, I know its a tough task to search this kind of  requirement . As i did same and endup with a solution like using Crystal reports for printing on network printer. And a WKHTML library to convert html pages to either images or PDF. There inturn i can convert TIFF files to PDF using Ghostscript(If you need this code please drop a comment). Now coming to this server side network printing. At first we need to have a following things Visual studio Crystal reports for Visual studio WKHTMLTOPDF/WKHTMLTOIMAGE A proper permissions on a folder where we are going to store our images or PDF files etc which need to be sent to a printer And the code flow is first i will scale the image to a standard size with the following code  prepare a HTML file having image tag with SRC as the image file which needs to be printed then i will call WKHTMLTOIMAGE library  to convert public static Image ScaleImage(Image image, int maxWidth, int maxHeight) { var ratioX

Finding file size in bytes on serverside using c#

Hi, This requirement will come mainly while doing I/O operations (in my opinion it is obviously one of tedious taks carried by server). Here am showing you the snippet of code to find out the number of bytes of a file. here am using this code to validate the size of the file on server side. Which is a common requirement while doing file uploads. Here is the snippet. private static long GetFileSizeOnDisk(string filelocation) { FileInfo info = new FileInfo(file); uint dummy, sectorsPerCluster, bytesPerSector; int result = GetDiskFreeSpaceW(info.Directory.Root.FullName, out sectorsPerCluster, out bytesPerSector, out dummy, out dummy); if (result == 0) throw new Win32Exception(); uint clusterSize = sectorsPerCluster * bytesPerSector; uint hosize; uint losize = GetCompressedFileSizeW(file, out hosize); long size; size = (long)hosize << 32 | losize; return ((size + clusterSize - 1) / clusterSize) * clusterSize; } [DllImport("kernel32.dll")] static e
