Mobile First Approach


 As you've probably guessed from the name of this approach to site design, mobile first means designing an online experience for mobile before designing it for the desktop Web—or any other device. In the past, when users' focus was on the desktop Web, mobile design was an afterthought

 'Mobile First Strategy' Mobile first strategy is trend in website development where designing a website for smartphones, tablets and mobile devices takes priority over desktop web design.
Design for smaller screens first, then add more features and content for bigger and bigger screens. This design approach is also known as "progressive enhancement.

 According to recent research , "desktop only has been on a pretty steady decline since 2014, dropping from 19.1% to 10.6%. On the other hand, mobile only has been on the rise with no expectations to slow down. Considering the trend, desktop viewing may no longer be the norm.  Therefore, it’s important to optimize on the devices your audience is using, and not those they aren’t.

 The problem with mobile first is that you might not fully "brainstorm" all the possibilities. Your mind is so focused on creating a minimal subset that you might miss some good ideas. As you design for larger displays you then realize the ideas you missed earlier. In the desktop first approach you create a fuller set of possibilities from the very start and get a "big picture" view of the app. I think it's useful to create a prototype of the full version to get all the ideas out, and then go ahead and do mobile-first with that clearer understanding.

Email Sending through O365 using OAuth Protocol

  Microsoft Office365 EWS servers have been extended to support authorization via the industry-standard OAuth 2.0 protocol.

To use OAuth with our application we need to register application on Azure Active directory and other steps also we need to do to get the access token back. Below are the steps   To use Microsoft/Office365 OAUTH in your application, you must create an application in  https://portal.azure.com .

IoT technology The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines.  IoT is a network of sensors where data is exchanged, using different connectivity protocols, with systems. This set up can be leveraged to create a new business application or to enhance an existing process. The exchange of the data can be bi-directional between sensors and systems Examples of sensors can be temperature sensors, motion sensors, flow meters, heart meter monitors, biometric devices, smoke detectors, & etc Examples of connectivity can be wifi, radio, GPRS, GSM, LAN, WAN, & etc. Examples of systems can be a remote health monitoring applications, SCADA applications, etc Look at next slide about the complete flow of IoT process Examples A doctor in US would like to monitor the heart rate and ECG of a patient in Hyderabad. This is done with the patient having sensors attached to him that collect the ECG data and the hea...

  What is a reverse proxy? A reverse proxy is a server that sits in front of web servers and forwards client (e.g. web browser) requests to those web servers. Reverse proxies are typically implemented to help increase  security ,  performance , and reliability . In order to better understand how a reverse proxy works and the benefits it can provide, let’s first define what a proxy server is. What’s a proxy server? A forward proxy, often called a proxy, proxy server, or web proxy, is a server that sits in front of a group of client machines. When those computers make requests to sites and services on the Internet, the proxy server intercepts those requests and then communicates with web servers on behalf of those clients, like a middleman. For example, let’s name 3 computers involved in a typical forward proxy communication: A: This is a user’s home computer B: This is a forward proxy server C: This is a website’s origin server (where the website data is stored) In a stand...
