If you have seen D3JS then you would be wondering, is there something which can not be done by D3JS.

 

 

 

This we all will agree who have tried in some point or other to work with it, that the time to learn it compare to other JS library is little high.If you have used sap.viz library in your UI5 project before then you might know it as well that it also uses d3 internally.

Recently there were also attempt to integrate C3.js and Chart.js libraries with UI5. The GitHub project is called custom controls for charting.This also looks pretty amazing and it is responsive as well.

We will soon give this new JS library mashup a try and tell you the result !

Developer who can earn $336K in less than 10 min !

The recent video of an Android developer is going viral for creating a TSA app in under 10 minutes.According to him he would charge $10 for the amount of work which he put in the app.But the entire project costed $1.4M .The app only displays random arrows on clicking the screen that’s all.

According to report the actual cost of application if we remove the cost of training user and hardware is $336K which just points randomly to left and rightĀ .

After looking at the original video the arrows which are used in the app do have transition effect and nice shadow property.But that still does not signifies the cost !

From what we are seeing in industry now, the mainstream software companies and giants are coming into the picture after they saw that the idea seems profitable and have enough attention of people.It is high time to put it into commercial use, the time of creating POC(proof of concept ) is over it is time to deliver something meaningful and beneficial.
