Development

Highlights

This application for iPad was built around objective C and SQLite framework. The design for each screen is implemented using the storyboard framework which is newly integrated in Apple’s iOS 5.0.

Almost all the modules were developed using foundation, core graphics and UI KIT frameworks. All User Interface components were placed in view controllers using storyboard. All the view controllers were linked with controller files project along with the outlets, actions of the UI element. SQLITE framework was used to maintain and store all the details locally. The site was developed and fully functional within a span of 3 months.
