Planning The following development approach was adopted to equip the site with numerous features and functionality mentioned below: • Introduces high level of server and data fetching technology.

• Research and analysis has been scheduled to get the actual level of output of data which are in the form of different verticals and business logics.

• Development – High Level Coding Standards has been followed for managing backup data volume simultaneously synchronization with the server for recent updates.

• Syncing existing and newly available data for backup with our database required specific attention. This helped in result generation.

• The User Interface Layer which forms the Graphical User Interface of the website.

Development Highlights This application for iPad is built around objective C and Core Data Framework. The design for each screen is implemented using the storyboard framework which is newly integrated for iOS 5.0. This application was also made compatible to iOS SDK 5.1 at a later stage. Almost all the modules are developed using foundation, core graphics and UIKIT frameworks. All the user interface items are placed in view controllers using storyboard and all the view controllers are linked with the controller files project along with the outlets and actions of the UI element. Core Data Framework is used to maintain and store all the details across the project scope. A third party library called as Graphkit library is used to implement graphs i.e. a tree-like structure. The site was developed and fully functional within a span of 5 months.
