The Map Kit framework provides an interface for embedding maps directly into your iPhone/iPad App. This framework also provides support for annotating the map , adding overlays, and performing reverse-geocoding lookups to determine placemark information for a given map coordinate. Google Map API is one framework that can be used in our App to make it Graphical . Using Google Webservices we can get Direction b/w two Places (if existing) and can draw that path on Map with their Distance/Time to cover that .

1) How to Render Map on iPhone/iPad
   Map can be of number of Types
   a) Standard Map View
   [map_View setMapType:MKMapTypeStandard];
   b) Hybrid Map View
   [map_View setMapType:MKMapTypeHybrid];
   c) Satelite Map View
   [map_View setMapType:MKMapTypeSatelite];
   I am going to create MapViewController Class for MapView

MapViewController.h file

@interface MapViewController : UIViewController{
  MKMapView *Map_View;
  UIImageView *routeView;
  UIColor* lineColor;    
}
@end

MapViewController.m file
#import "TaxiCompaniesMapViewController.h"
#import 

@implementation TaxiCompaniesMapViewController
@synthesize Map_View;
@synthesize routeView;
@synthesize lineColor;

-(void)viewdidLoad{
   Map_View = [[MKMapView    alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,40,320,460)];
 [map_View setMapType:MKMapTypeStandard];
[map_View setZoomEnabled:YES];
 [map_View setScrollEnabled:YES];
 map_View.showsUserLocation = TRUE;
 map_View.delegate = self;
MKCoordinateRegion region;
  CLLocation *location = [[CLLocation alloc]initWithLatitude:26.94166 
longitude:75.785065];
  region.center = location.coordinate;
  MKCoordinateSpan span;
  span.latitudeDelta = 0.09;
  span.longitudeDelta = 0.09;
  region.span = span;
  [Map_View setRegion:region animated:YES];
  [Map_View regionThatFits:region];
  [Map_View setShowsUserLocation:YES];
[self.view addsubView:map_View];

Points to Remember

1) These two files are used to Render Map on Map in My example
2) In this example , default I provided Jaipur location to be in Center , you can provide your desired location , that will be in Center.
3) I used span (zoom level ) to approximate of 2 miles , you can change it . mind that decreasing span level increases zoom level on Map and
    this span limits b/w 0 to 180.

Cloud computing is all the rage. The problem is that everyone seems to have a different definition. As a metaphor for the Internet, "the cloud" is a familiar shot, but when combined with "computing," the meaning gets bigger and fuzzier. Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing narrowly as an updated version of utility computing: basically virtual servers available over the Internet. Others go very broad, arguing anything you consume outside the firewall is "in the cloud," including conventional outsourcing.

Cloud computing comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing capabilities.

Cloud computing is at an early stage, with a motley crew of providers large and small delivering a slew of cloud-based services, from full-blown applications to storage services to spam filtering. Yes, utility-style infrastructure providers are part of the mix, but so are SaaS (software as a service) providers such as Salesforce.com. Today, for the most part, IT must plug into cloud-based services individually, but cloud computing aggregators and integrators are already emerging.

InfoWorld talked to dozens of vendors, analysts, and IT customers to tease out the various components of cloud computing. Based on those discussions, here's a rough breakdown of what cloud computing is all about:

1. SaaS
This type of cloud computing delivers a single application through the browser to thousands of customers using a multitenant architecture. On the customer side, it means no upfront investment in servers or software licensing; on the provider side, with just one app to maintain, costs are low compared to conventional hosting. Salesforce.com is by far the best-known example among enterprise applications, but SaaS is also common for HR apps and has even worked its way up the food chain to ERP, with players such as Workday. And who could have predicted the sudden rise of SaaS "desktop" applications, such as Google Apps and Zoho Office?

2. Utility computing
The idea is not new, but this form of cloud computing is getting new life from Amazon.com, Sun, IBM, and others who now offer storage and virtual servers that IT can access on demand. Early enterprise adopters mainly use utility computing for supplemental, non-mission-critical needs, but one day, they may replace parts of the datacenter. Other providers offer solutions that help IT create virtual datacenters from commodity servers, such as 3Tera's AppLogic and Cohesive Flexible Technologies' Elastic Server on Demand. Liquid Computing's LiquidQ offers similar capabilities, enabling IT to stitch together memory, I/O, storage, and computational capacity as a virtualized resource pool available over the network.

Calling onPan() method for reload Google map tiles randomly, onZoom() method is used for zoom in and zoom out the Google map and onClick() method is used for performed action on a click .These three methods are used frequently in Google map.

Solution :

Iphone Custom Calendar

There are many development related iPhone apps , but it is not very often you come across an app that is useful and works as it desired. Therefore, here is Customized Calendar in Iphone that will be useful as an iPhone developer. It provides a similar look and feel as on a portal.

Our requirement includes to display a calendar when tapped on respective UITextField, by which we can view dates with its month, year and weekday. This Customized Calendar also includes the feature to switch previous/next month and previous/next year.

Though up to certain extent Calendar class can be achieved by using UIPickerView, but PickerView does not permit fast switching to previous/next month and year.

First, create an event on textfield click, this event then uses UIPopoverController where calendar View exists.

Then , find total number of days in a particular month with respect to its year and then the weekday for first date of that month. Total number of days gives the idea about how many date UIImageView will be created and he weekday for first date of that month gives the location from where the calendar dates will start. ImageView are placed through loop till number of days of that month.

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
[gregorian setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"UTC"]];
NSDateComponents *comp = [gregorian components:(NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit) fromDate:date];
[comp setDay:1];
NSDate *firstDayOfMonthDate = [gregorian dateFromComponents:comp];
NSLog(@"firstDayOfMonthDate %@",firstDayOfMonthDate);

NSCalendar *cal1=[[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *comps1 = [cal1 components:NSWeekdayCalendarUnit fromDate:firstDayOfMonthDate];
// 1 for mon 7 for sun
int startWithDay=[comps1 weekday]==1?7:[comps1 weekday]-1;
NSLog(@"day numbr of first date of month is(startWithDay) %d",startWithDay);

Each ImageView is given with UITapGestureRecognizer, which is called when tapped on particular date. All ImageView are given with tag , this tag then appends with month and year at label and forms date as desired in required date formatter.

int x=0;
int y=100;
for (int d=1; d
if (d-startWithDay>=0) {
// NSLog(@"tag is %d",d-startWithDay+1);
imgView=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"weeklyTableDetails.png"]];
imgView.tag=d-startWithDay+1;
imgView.frame=CGRectMake(x, y, 57, 50);
[imgView addGestureRecognizer:tap];
[self.view addSubview:imgView];

UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(getTag:)];
[imgView setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
[imgView addGestureRecognizer:tap];

lblForDate=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 15, 30, 30)];
lblForDate.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",d-startWithDay+1];
lblForDate.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0/255.f green:130/255.f blue:184/255.f alpha:1];
lblForDate.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Verdana" size:15];
lblForDate.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[imgView addSubview:lblForDate];
}else{
NSLog(@"next line %d",d);
}
if (d%7==0) {
x=0;
y+=50;

}else{
x+=57;
}

And this is how each date image of size 57*50 is generated according to respective month and year.

• The home page is one which will make or mar your business. It needs to be appealing, have all the necessary information yet not be very crowded and confusing. The best pictures and themes should be allotted to the home page.
• Next comes the detailing. If there are tour packages, they should be highlighted and mentioned separately. Details of the different packages should be provided in different pages.
• Online bookings must be allowed. This will include booking flights, cars, or other modes of transportation as well hotels and lodges. This would make trips more hassle free.
• Adequate search options allowing users to look up whatever information they need would give a more satisfying experience to anyone.
• Additional information such as weather forecast, currency conversion, etc., will also be helpful. Further, one can also help users by keeping a separate category of destinations according to the ideal seasons to visit them.
• Real-time interactions with customers by keeping Customer relationship Management (CRM) modules within the travel applications using chat or e-mail gives a satisfactory experience to users.
• One can include CMS or Content Management Systems for better maintenance and easy editing and control of the travel portal by the staff members.
