Oracle Database Express Edition(XE) useful for Small Business

2008-10-25T15:57:00.005+08:00

Click here to see a walkthrough of XE's features

Oracle Database Express Edition(XE) is FREE even for commercial use. XE is a very good replacement for Microsoft Access, a popular database for personal and small businesses. As I was evaluating XE, I saw that this will definitely compete with MS Access.

For small businesses, this can be used for small applications such as Inventory Management, Customer databases, Accounting and other related uses. The database supports up to 4GB of data. In terms of records, that's around 30 million records in a simple schema. That's more than enough for small businesses who don't really that much data.

XE also comes with an Application builder to build simple applications that access data. You can use it for reports, forms, etc. You can see what I'm talking about in this demo:

Although Oct. 1 was a holiday, I was surprised that people attended the Philippine International IT Expo 2008 to listen to my talk. My talk was all about enabling businesses with SMS technology.

Arriving from Korea a day before, I was in bad shape because of the change of weather. I was grateful that I had the energy to proceed with the talk and enlighten the conference participants about the benefits and features of SMS technology and how it can be applied to business.

I thank the organizers First Events Asia for inviting me as one of their guest speakers.

Mobile Business Directory in your iPhone!

2008-09-04T00:01:00.003+08:00

I created an iPhone webapp. It's an online directory of companies which can be accessed using your iPhone or iPod touch. I'm still working on the user interface so companies can add their details to the directory database.

If you have an iPhone or an iPod touch, you can access the site at http://64.62.231.62:8080/mdir/i.html using mobile Safari. Sorry for the URL since I didn't get a domain yet.

Here's how it works.

iPhone Developers, Philippines@Google Groups

2008-08-31T21:33:00.009+08:00

Yes, it's the same group! For discussion purposes, I think it is better to use Google Groups as our host. All discussions will be moderated and should abide by the NDA we agreed to after downloading the iPhone SDK. The group is meant to be a place where all iPhone developers in the Philippines can be found. This would be useful for foreign companies looking for iPhone developers.

I hope to see you guys there so we can start discussing how to market our iPhone applications here and abroad and share ideas on what applications will click with the iPhone.

With the App store, we can reach all iPhone users and sell our applications. Thanks to Apple for this.

If you're looking for iPhone applications made in the Philippines, you now know where to look. ;)

APIs, APIs, APIs...Very Sweet for Developers!

2008-08-31T00:25:00.006+08:00

I remember the times when developers were struggling to integrate with Yahoo!, Google, and other websites who have a lot of content. The web is a lot more open now. Websites are now opening up their content for 3rd party use. This is a good thing for developers.

Here are a few APIs that are worth looking at:

Google APIs

OpenSocial lets you integrate with data of websites like Facebook, Friendster, LinkedIn, Orkut, and other similar websites.

Google Data APIs lets you work with Google Base, Blogger, Google Calendar, Google Spreadsheets and Picasa Web Albums.

Google Maps API enables developers to build application on top of Google Maps.

Google Custom Search API makes users take advantage of the most powerful search engine in the web right now.

Google Calendar API helps you create and edit events, calendars, and gadgets for Google Calendar. This one's cool. I did a demo during the Globe event by enabling users update their Google calendars just by sending SMS.

Yahoo!

Fire Eagle give developers the ability to create location-aware applications.

Search BOSS lets application developers utilize content using the power of Yahoo! Search.

Pipes enables users to aggregate content from the web for personal or business use. There's a lot of tools here. Here's a sample pipe I created, an aggregation of all my blogs.

YUI is a Javascript framework which makes it easy to develop AJAX applications. I recently used this in one of my previous project.

Salesforce

Force.com API gives you the facility to embed into your application useful Salesforce.com features.

Ain't that sweet?! Now start building that killer app now!
