Pathshala: Student Information Management using Cutting-Edge Technology

An Education Information Management System is developed using the Flutter framework integrated with Firebase for data storage and authentication. The system addresses the challenges faced by educational institutions in managing student information, attendance, grades, and communication with parents. Traditional methods of managing school-related tasks are often cumbersome, time-consuming, and error-prone. Thus, there is a need for an efficient and user-friendly solution that can streamline these processes and enhance productivity. The development of the school management system utilizes the Flutter framework, a cross-platform development tool, to create a mobile application as well as web application. Firebase, a comprehensive cloud-based platform, was integrated to handle data storage, authentication, and communication. The system focused on meeting the needs of school administrators, teachers, students, and parents. Key features included student enrollment, attendance tracking, grade management, and notice announcement functionalities. The implementation of this system resulted in significant benefits, such as easier student registration, efficient attendance tracking, streamlined grade management, improved communication, and enhanced engagement among administrators, teachers, students, and parents.

Interactive CFD simulations with virtual reality to support learning in mixing

This study presents a user-friendly digital learning environment with interactive computational fluid dynamics simulations for higher education in chemical engineering. A client-server network is introduced to maintain an automated two-way connection between multiple CFD solvers and a game engine as a cross-platform development tool. A modular software development approach is pursued to obtain long-lasting connected digital applications. To prevail over heavy calculations and standalone features, a content delivery network is structured, through which any end-user devices are made employable regardless of hardware performance. From desktop to virtual reality applications, multiple digital platforms are demonstrated within a case study of mixing. The system performance of technical integrity is assessed to ensure a feasible and effective connection through the client-server network. A task-centered educational model is implemented to design digital learning environments concerning complex skills to be developed by learners. Discussions are drawn upon the applicability of the system and also integrity to traditional teaching practices.

Mobile cross-platform app development tools

This article discusses the existing popular tools for mobile cross-platform application development. It is contrasted with the so – called native application development-when applications are created using the tools provided by the development companies of the respective platforms. Google provides a tool like Android Studio for its Android mobile operating system. The main programming languages used to create applications for this platform are Java and Kotlin. Apple, in turn, offers developers such an integrated development environment as XCode, in which development is carried out using the Swift programming language. The authors reviewed some of the most popular tools for cross-platform development, such as React Native, Xamarin and Flutter. React Native is a product developed by the company Facebook. It inherits the main technological aspects from another framework from Facebook-React. Programming here is conducted in the JavaScript language. React Native is suitable for web developers who have worked with React before and now want to try their hand at developing mobile applications. Xamarin is a framework supported by Microsoft. It provides tools for creating cross-platform applications for the iOS and Android mobile operating systems. This framework is bundled with Microsoft Visual Studio as a downloadable component. What is typical for a Microsoft product, here the C# programming language is used for development. This is a significant advantage of the Xamarin framework: during the creation of a mobile application, developers can use all the important and convenient features of this programming language. Flutter is a tool developed by Google to create apps for Android and iOS using a single code base. Unlike other popular solutions, Flutter is not a framework: it is a set of software development tools that contains everything you need to create cross-platform applications. It includes a visualization engine, ready-made widgets, and tools for working with the command line. The main programming language here is Dart. In the course of studying these tools, the authors made the following conclusions: tools for cross-platform development are an excellent solution if you need to create an application that does not require high performance: displaying information received from the server, simple local information processors, such as applications for social networks, online stores, organizer applications. These tools are not suitable for creating applications that require computing resources.

Investigation of methodical framework for cross-platform mobile application development: significance of Codename One

Mobile application development landscape is changing very rapidly with developers moving from traditional approach to 'write once, run anywhere'. In any case, most mobile applications have comparable performance such as tight project schedules, budget, and the need to bolster both Android and iOS. For most developers, particularly those that are migrating from web to mobile applications, cross-platform mobile application tools are often preferred as new development tools that promise some native-like functionalities and performance. However, they often ask questions like which cross-platform development tool to choose?, and which framework is easier, better and supports our requirements? This paper presents answers to these questions by evaluating some popular cross-platform mobile applications development tools. Towards the end, this paper recommends Codename One for cross-platform mobile applications developers because of its unique strengths and significance.

User Reachability in Islands of WebRTC Communication Apps

Recent progress in Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) promotes multi-apps environment by creating islands of communication apps where users of one website or service cannot easily communicate with those of another. We describe the architecture and implementation of a multi-platform system to do user reachability in multiple communication services where users decide how they want to be reached on multiple apps, e.g. in an organization that has voice-over-IP, web conferencing and messaging from different vendors. We argue for user and endpoint driven reachability policies and cross-app interactions, instead of pair-wise service federation or global location service. Our architecture separates the user contacts from reachability apps, and has several independent and non-interoperable WebRTC-based apps for two-way and multi-party multimedia communication. Our software is implemented using HTML5 and JavaScript, and using a cross-platform development tool, runs as native apps on mobile as well as personal computers. Our flexible implementation can be used for enterprise or personal communications, or as a white-labeled app for consumers of a business.
