Bangalore, Leadership and Human Capital

Human capital and leadership are intertwined and our session at SLP Bangalore on Leadership and Human Capital had amazing leaders to share their story and guide us along the way.

SLP Bangalore Class 3

It was Product Development and Customer Day at SLP Bangalore. We met on Saturday 13th of November for what was a very productive day.

"You are not your User",  was the gist of the talk by Shyam Narayan from dig designstudio. Shyam walked us through his experience of designing for various customers, he discussed the approach they typically follow at their design studio while designing products. The four stages of Absorb,Ideate,Prototype and Validate set the tone for the rest of the day.

What am I doing?

In my last post I mentioned that I am working on developing a mobile analytics platform. Here in this post I will give a you a peek into what prompted me to come up with this idea, what my vision for this platform is. Some of you might feel this goes over your head, please do not worry, I will be dissecting all the aspects of this project and my journey in the days to come. The purpose of this post is to capture my thought process and give you a snapshot of how I arrived at working on this idea and why I believe I am one of the guys right for something like this.

jQuery Checkbox with Themeroller Support

I am working on a mobile analytics platform, will talk about this more in the weeks to come. This platform involves a UI which resembles a typical dashboard ala. Google Analytics, Rescuetime etc. Now I am not so good at design, but am taking this opportunity to hone my css and presentation skills.

A few months back, I came across this beautiful component from jQuery called the jQuery UI Themeroller. I was super impressed by their ability  to generate images for what ever theme I create and let me download the theme.

One week with Android

Last week I got a new Android based phone. It is a Samsung  Galaxy 3 - i5801. It was very exciting to finally lay hands on an Android based phone. The key features of the phone are:

  • Android V2.1 (Eclair)
  •  ThinkFree Office Mobile Support
  •  Intutive Touchwiz 3.0 Interface
  •  Multi Codec Support
  •  Fast GPS Triangulation With Layar Reality Browser
  •  AllShare DLNA Support For Easy Sharing Of Media Amongst Your PC-TV-Mobile
  •  Supports Swype Input For Faster Typing
This is my first brush with Android phone, I had previous experience with iOS( iPod Touch), Nokia Music express, and some Samsung based touch phone.
