The post May 23 – Five strategies appeared first on Harbour Front.

During the day we gathered with some of our customers and co-workers to develop Arduino boards and accessories together.

What is Arduino?

Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board. It is a development environment for writing software for the board. A tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer.

During our Arduino hack-a-day event we developed interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensorscontrolling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.

This days result was a ready-for-prime-time Jenkins status and build servers – to a very creative electric piano. An easy and fantastic server-talking NFC thing. An unforgettable and memorable tweeting moving sensorn!

What was the best thing?

It is easy to start up and do thinks together. It was also good that it was fast to start en get results that could be shown the same day. One of the developers thought it was a different and fun way to get to know each other.

- I would like to thank Harbour Front for a professionally performed Arduino day, says one of the customers. Flowing creativity, we all helped out and by the end of the day we presented our different creations for each other  It was inspiring, and I am happy that I had the opportunity to be there! she finishes.

Why Arduino?

It is easy to learn and that is why you have time to have it as a team event. It is also easy to find something fun to show by the end of the day.

Activities together makes us come closer together and understand each other, it becomes a good way of connecting to each other.

What will happen next time?

During June there will be an other hack-a-day, this time with Pebble-watches.

What is Arduino?

Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board. It is a development environment for writing software for the board. A tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer.

During our Arduino hack-a-day event we hope to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensorscontrolling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.

We will be divided into groups of one to two people. Each group will then brainstorm together to get an idea about what the group will be developing during the day. It should ideally be an idea that is easy to manage and can be presented at the end of the day.

It is not your typical New York restaurant guide, Yuki Eats New York aims to uncover some of the authentic restaurant hideouts in the city, for both native New Yorkers and tourists alike. Yuki Eats New York focuses on the food stands, cantinas, and unmarked dumpling and noodle restaurants that contribute to the vibrant and diverse energy of New York City, all presented through Yuki’s unique narrative.

The application is developed by Harbour Front together with Ocean Observations design. The overall visual design that compliments Yuki’s unique voice by using loose, off-beat illustrations gives the application a very personal, handmade, sketchbook-type feel.

Harbour Front was commissioned by the company to develop an application that allows customers to track their packages in real time. Previously customers have only been able to track deliveries on the web or by phone. The Iphone version now also adds a convenient feature by displaying pick-up points on a map, and details about opening hours at outlets.

The company believes the application will help them move closer to their customers and increase the benefits and availability of their services.

Harbour Front is specialised in developing solutions for mobile Internet, mobile applications and business strategies for smartphones and tablets like Ipad focusing on Iphone and Android development. Harbour Front develops applications within the media and the telecom industry where high technical knowledge and requirements for business strategies is a must.

Please download the app directly: Letter & Package application on Itunes or contact us for more information.

The idea was to develop a simple app that demonstrated the integration between an XML server and a map to create a convenient service. The app became highly popular 2010-2011 and was top 20 listed of downloaded apps for several months. An inspiration for Systembolaget app.

Security that impacts the internet and various scenarios were discussed for how the internet of the future could look. Lynn St Amour, from Internet Society, reported on a rise in the number of countries that block DNSs, i.e. 44 countries now block websites compared with four a few years ago. Bruce Schneier, from BT Counterpane, naturally focused on security issues and talked here about a list of different players who use openings to access various systems. This in turn leads to tougher security solutions.

Harbour Front visited the conference on 21 November at the Waterfront Congress Centre in Stockholm. During the conference we studied trends for mobile services, and the most interesting presentation for us was the session about web vs apps. The continued trend is that businesses see mobile websites as a hygiene factor and apps as a way to position themselves and to show that they also have a presence on this platform.

A slight trend is discernable whereby some players have begun to optimise their websites. This is seen in changes that enable mobile services, which Eva Hamilton says is the fastest growing platform at SVT, and through corporate discussions about website optimisation.

“Optimera det som optimeras kan”
