Expected features and enhancements of Rails 5

Ruby on Rails development
"Rails right from its inception, has received overnight popularity and love from the industry and the developers as well. With the in-built integration with Ruby, the framework is simply awesome; in fact, we can say it’s a duo i.e. language-framework concept and first in its kind on the earth. Ruby on Rails, as a web application framework, is widely appreciated for the components that it highlights. The model view controller structure not just persuades the use of web standards, but also focuses on the use of other popular software engineering patterns and paradigms – be it the Active Record Pattern or Convention over Configuration. And now, Rails Core Team has taken a further step in fortifying the cross-platform web application framework by giving a preview into the Rails 5. Here, we’re listing out some expected features and enhancements of Rails 5 (although, the new version will entail Ruby 2.2.). Industry is anxiously waiting for the next version of Rails i.e. Rails 5 because there are lots of hopes and expectations associated with the rails 5. Let's see few of our assumptions and expectations from Rail”.

Integration of Rails API: The new version is expected to amalgamate rails API into its core configuration, hence enabling the use of Rails as an easy-to-use JSON API. This will also simplify the process of creating an API for any JavaScript application. This will simply eliminate the use of Heavy JS APIs for their application instead railAPI will serve the purpose in an optimized manner. Web projects that take help from emberJS, BackboneJS etc for RESTFUL design can get a relief by the introduction of rail API and it will take all the necessary processes into consideration for a successful API call. However, users would be required to have Ruby 2.2.1 or above before they move to Rails 5.


Turbolinks 3: In the world of smart web browsers; it is really difficult to deal with multiple constraints that arise due to excessive use and production of wide variety of devices that are having no proper hardware specification or potential. Along with that, these devices used to take the help of mobile networks for the browsing purpose i.e. 2G, 3G or even GPRS. So, it is really a challenge to make each and every web app page load faster by reducing its size and making it dynamic and asynchronous. For this purpose, the framework rolls in Turbolinks 3 to resolve the trepidation of sluggish web applications. The addition is anticipated to help users hold onto most of their web pages and selectively update certain sections through partials. While this shares similarity with SPA in a way, the feature aims at eliminating the hassle of slow web page reloads. In return it will not only improve the overall user experience but also the look and feel of the web app will move to a next level.


Action Cable: The highly anticipated Action Cable should be making its way to Rails 5 – hence, developers who felt a dearth of WebSocket support can definitely look forward to this one! Action Cable is a part of Rails 5 (as publicly announced by Rails), hence now there is no more worry for multiple instance applications especially while dealing with live web communication. Suppose you are going to add a live chat application to your Rails app; then this can be well handled by Action Cable which is simply can be integrated to client side JS and back-end Ruby program. Ruby on Rails development, for certain, provides all the tools that a developer would require in order to design a great application. However, this new feature will bring forth an incredible performance boost among the community. It will make the application much more effective without any need to integrate websocket!


Rake Tasks: Several things are likely to go simpler, including the Rake Tasks. The upgrade will enable users to perform all Rake tasks using just Rails. Although the new facility is analogous to the previous versions of Rails, it is expected to ease the process of task optimization for many developers out there. It is highly effective when we need a cron to run in a periodic manner for our web application. In this process, your application will be loaded with up-to-date database data to se5rve the users in a more effective way. rake db:reset and rake db:seed are the core of this concept. These two components makes the cron proces much hasslefree than before. With reset; the db will reset and with seed the db will be modified with the latest data.In previous versions of Rake, terming was restricted to only alphanumeric characters – beginning with an underscore and so on. The new version, however, aims at roping in the prospect of entitling partials using any character. Rails 5 will let users use any character post the underscore. The Rails team has also taken off its helper methods like div_for & content_tag_for and has transferred them to a separate part ‘record_tag_helper.’


Action Pack: Just like MVC architecture, Rails has some inbuilt similar concept through its Action Pack. Action Pack consists of two major parts i.e. Action View and Action Controller. It is quite similar to that of View and Controller of MVC. Now, every request of Rails will be handled by Action pack. The Action Pack then divides it into part segments i.e. Action Controller and Action View. Action Controller instructs the Action View which data to display and which to hide. By this process, the core logic or analysis is performed by the Action Pack and the entire event is handled smoothly with Action Controller and Action View. Developers may look forward to the new Action Pack, which will basically focus on generating accurate routing information. And, this will come straight from the Rails backend. It includes the working concept of Action View and Action Controller.


Render from Anywhere: The route of render_anywhere also gets a tweak. Earlier, users would have to use render_anywhere in order to deliver any views outside of controller. The new Rails 5 takes that away and lets users render their views from anywhere. Moreover, users will be able to benefit from the newly added ‘assigns’ function as well. That will allow users to pass instance variables to templates.

How safe it is to hire an App developer from an Offshore Software Development Company

outsourcing software development
Technology experts have highlighted the pros and cons of outsourcing development work and have also debated on its downside. There have been many eye opening instances which are worth mentioning. The topic has been of prime importance to folks in working worldwide.

Cost plays an important role in taking the decision. Labour expenditure is controlled when work is outsourced to markets not having a higher wage rate thus, taking advantage of affordable cost. Why should one pay in-house developer $150 per hour when you could get the same work done for a half of original cost. Ultimately, you could use the cost savings to make bigger, more advanced apps.

On the whole, comparing per hour costs isn’t as telling as one might assume. Firms also take into account while outsourcing software development and encouraging other businesses to follow the practice to deem the time related to evaluating an overseas venture. Highlighting extra costs points to missing forgone costs and often gives the contradicting standards. Research indicates that 62% of overseas IT ventures costs much more than what businesses predicts.

As far as Short Term projects are concerned, the most sought after benefit of outsourcing is to bring an expert from the foreign market without having to pay for long term thus making use of professional expertise in a big way with slight affiliation costs. Sometimes you really need someone with expert skill to be around the project as value of qualification supersedes the cost benefit. Another benefit of hiring off shore consultant is that you avoid any short term cost that would have been incurred, had there been the need to formally set the office. This may look imprudent but many developers don’t like to be around people while working. This hampers their ability to concentrate and have negative effect on their overall performance. They deem office environment to be major cause of distraction. With lunch, chatter, and continued distractions, there is little time left for developers to get actual work done at the office.

Consequently, this usually means developers must work way more hours than necessary, which hurts conscience and company’s values.Consultants who work for full time have also proved to be cost beneficial as they are missing opportunity costs for working with you and would have worked for someone else part time earning more money. Employer seems to be getting more benefit this way as compared to developer thus proving loyalty. They are giving time and energy into your business and would have a shared interest in the outcome and that’s huge. They are less likely to bail for a number of reasons and, if the fit is good, will be long term players.Consultantssitting around you know what’s happening and could be helpful in many ways than a part timer. More brainstorming sessions could happen instead of waiting for an allotted meeting time. This would encourage casual conversation which could help extract new ideas. They also professionals and know what difficulties other functional areas are facing and could offer potential solutions boosting confidence.

Outsiders inherently elaborate success in terms of securing clients, succeeding in projects and handling multiple tasks at the same time. While owners view the success differently and define it by building businesses that generate revenue and capturing markets. A freelancer (especially one who is outsourced) will be of help for not very long and would be more inclined to take care of personal interest.

What is near-shore software development?

offshore software development services
Organizations today are trying their best to reduce average cost of production and increase their profit margin or in some case give price relief to their customers. With the increase in competition levels around the world firms are looking left and right to increase their productivity levels and generate more revenues. However this may sound easy but in truth it takes a lot of thinking and managerial input. One method adopted by organizations to reduce their budding cost levels is the concept of outsourcing software development. Outsourcing software development has three different layers; Onshore, Offshore and Near-shore.

The term near-shore was first introduced back in 1998 when an American software development company decided to set up business in the Caribbean island of Barbados. Near-shore software outsourcing is an easier alternative to offshoring since it enables the organization to take advantage of lower costs (but potentially not as low as offshore) but with a close physical location, easy communication and the same time zone. The use of near-shore software development method can help negate certain drawbacks of outsourcing. One of the potential drawbacks of outsourcing was the lack of communication between the firm and the hired client. To eradicate or minimize this risk, the methodology of near-shoring was adopted. This would allow the firm to employee a contractor that is in a relatively close proximity to the parent firm and operates in similar time zones. Therefore, by adopting the method of near-shoring the firm can build a better communication network and incorporate relevant and appropriate feedbacks.

However the issue with using the method of offshore outsourcing is that the firm can face language barrier problems, and due to the long distance the quality of communication gets hampered. With the increase in geographical distance, the time zone varies further handicapping the quality of communication between the firm and their outsourcing partner. In this regard, most of the companies adopting near-shore outsourcing methods try and work around the possible communication barrier by making changes to their organizational culture are adopting a more flexible organizational hierarchy where the outsourcing partner is incorporated. Hence, they try and look for new market segments or development source that is in closer proximity and allows for ease of access.

Near-shoring allows an organization to operate in an environment which they are completely familiar with. It is essential that an organization is aware of the macro and micro environment workings of the country where the organization is planning to near-shore. With similar time zones, language, work ethics and labor laws, the organization can ensure a smooth working environment.

Countries and companies that view themselves as near-shore position themselves as offering some of the benefits of offshoring (namely cost reduction), while mitigating other difficulties—especially those imposed by distance. Most firms today are using the concept of near-shoring to promote cultural integrity and to position themselves as a global firm operating in more than one country.

With the threat of intellectual theft becoming ever present as technology advances, organizations are trying to bring operational activities closer and making a more compact organizational culture. Therefore, near-shore software development and activities have gained wide, spread acclaim. Not only are organizations trying to reduce the threat of cybercrime, but by adopting near-shore outsourcing practices the parent organization is in close proximity to the clients and their customers. Therefore this increases the applicability of the customer responsiveness and decreasing the turnaround time. Thus this allows the firm to make necessary changes to the product based on the relevant feedback given by the consumer.

Should developers be encouraged to participate in Seminars and conferences?

Seminars and Conferences
"Everything comes with some advantages and few disadvantages! Nothing is perfect in the world neither our concern about Seminars and Conferences. Should a developer attend them? It is really a complicated debate. There are lots of benefits and few demerits of Seminars or Conference. The thing is what is our priority? Is the seminar relevant for the developer or not? So, it all depends upon the situation and the topic and if it is really related to a developer then, the 2-3 days period will change the life of developer else the same will happen but in a negative manner!”

Let’s come straight to the point, we often need expertly guidance or suggestions for steady progress no matter what industry our business is in. And likewise, developers who constantly search for improvements in their products or intend to incorporate creative blends into their projects would feel a dearth of an industry conference or seminar (at times, if not every day). Here, we are listing out some of the main reasons why developers should actually take some time off their schedule and attend seminars and conferences –

Learn Something New: It’s of paramount significance for any developer to expand their horizon of knowledge. Seminars and conferences play a huge role in helping people learn something new about their specific area of interest. They are empowered with an opportunity to learn a whole lot more from interacting and grasping the ideas of professionals. Seminars where experts are sharing their experiences and growth modules will help developers hone their skills. The new knowledge on their domain will definitely keep them ahead of others. In fact, it builds a confidence within them and this is really vital for any professional especially if he belongs to technical field. In the competitive and ever changing environment it becomes essential to remain up to date and confident enough so that you can advocate with your client for their benefit which in turn give prosperity to you and your company.

Get Inspired: A break-point from the one above! Yet, conferences go a long way in instilling new ideologies and concepts into the minds of creative developers. They not just help add something valuable to one’s business, but also help change the way one works. The concepts when get executed by the developer, he gets awesome output that will definitely bring reputation of your company in the industry. In fact, up to date concepts and futuristic methodologies are way better than that of traditional system. So it is always welcomed by the industry and attending seminars and conferences can inspire developers to get better and design more creative concepts, helping them achieve greater success in their respective fields.

Stay Connected With Industry Trends: One of the most important reasons why any developer should attend a conference is to know the latest news and trends that hit the market. A field that is highly competitive demands constant knows– hence, seminars help developers stay updated with trends in their industry and stay cutthroat. Industry throws out those outdated stuffs in no time; you can guess it by considering how fast a technology gets depreciated. Every passing day, the industry is gifted with numerous outstanding and brilliant ideas that makes the older concepts outdated. So in order to sustain in the ever changing industry it is necessary to remain updated with new and latest trends and technologies.

Add Value to the Product: Seminars are more like an investment – where a developer could go, learn the tricks, expand his possibilities as a developer, hatch onto some new ideas, and build a better product. Conferences render the skills and knowledge one would need to make his product or venture valuable. Knowledge never get exhausted rather gets transferred to different versions and in different forms. So, from the knowledge that you gained from Seminars and Conferences you can build more productive products for the industry. In fact, the process of development becomes more efficient and the quality of the end products stands out from others. Hence it really helps in adding values to the products or services directly or indirectly.

Networking Opportunities: Usually developers are encouraged to be connected with likeminded professionals through social media networks like LinkedIn. There they discuss with others, shares their thoughts, points and gains knowledge. There are many web platforms like forums that also help in networking with others and gaining knowledge from each other. But, they all are virtual and can never be compared to that of practical like Seminars and Conferences. Nothing better than being introduced to industry professionals in practical! Seminars provide developers with an ideal opportunity to connect and interact with like-minded people. Networking with right people could turn resourceful for developers – where they could meet another professional with the same or better vision, have someone interview their product, or get insights into their developmental plan.

Change the Strategies: A lot of times, seminars or conferences are a way to review the progress or retreat in life. If there is anything that looks off-the-track, seminars could help provide an insight into it and help change the strategies to get back on the right track. They also enable one to be reflective, tweak the turns (if needed), and evaluate their progress. Many times, some mediocre minds came to seminar with their outrageous products or concepts and ask the participants for their opinion. In the process, the participant will not only gains knowledge on a new concept but also gets an opportunity to interact with a concept that may be way ahead of their scope. But, it will definitely bring some excellent knowledge on the new concept; even they can give better opinion to the person to make the concept more effective and efficient.

Have Fun: Last but not the least; developers should attend seminars because they are seriously fun. Being in business should never be a dull chore and hence, industry seminars can bring excitement and enjoyment to dealing with a career choice. It’s more like an ideal amalgamation of educational learning, professional creativity, and fun! So it will rejuvenate the developer and makes him enthusiast enough to focus on his work with more energy and confidence after the seminar is over.

Mindfire Solutions takes all the initiatives that are necessary to include a knowledge based culture at the work place. Employees across the three centers hold seminars on various software development topics. It also encourages employees to attend seminars outside the organization that help a great deal in enhancing the overall knowledge of its employees apart from giving them the required exposure. Are you then sufficiently interested in the culture of knowledge at Mindfire Solutions?

The Importance of Non-Disclosure Agreements in Outsourcing Software Development

offshore software development services
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a term which describes a pact between two or more parties. It is used to limit the original members from telling the information to someone else or to someone who is not part of the initial agreement. Such an agreement is usually done to make sure that important information is not leaked or is made public. Such an agreement is necessary to use when trade secrets are discussed and is used when a new and previously not known technology is used. Usually, this type of agreement is signed when organizations are in practice of using the concept of outsourcing.

Outsourcing is somewhat of a new procedure where organizations are looking for cheaper way to get their work done. Outsourcing can be either Near-shore or Off-shore. The major difference between the two methods is based on geography. In near-shore outsourcing practices, an organisation looks for closer partners to work with. Partners with which the outsourcing firm shares the same time zone, language and work standards are preferable. In contrast, when offshore outsourcing is used, firms work with partners who are in a completely new region which follows a different time zone and has different working standards. Firms when using the concept of outsourcing for software development need to share important information with their partners and trust them that the information will not be leaked or made available to a third person. In such case, outsourcing firms usually ask their outsourced partners to sign an NDA. The importance of following such a practice is high because companies, while outsourcing, allow outside employees to go through private details of the firm like information about the company’s shareholders and the type of technology and working methods they use. If such information is made public, competitors and rival firms can significantly benefit from it.

Companies using outsourcing partners to develop software for any purpose are more careful and usually ask their offshore software development partners to sign a NDA form. Obviously there are threats in offshore software development and these firms must be careful of virus attacks or being a victim of counterfeiting. In some cases, firms ask their outsourcing partners to develop certain software to operate machinery or equipment which is new and not many people are aware of it. This technology may be part of the firm’s strategy and the organization does not want that information be disclosed. In this case, having a NDA with the outsourced partners is critical as they are aware of what information they cannot disclose to an external source. Furthermore, the benefit of using a NDA is that it makes sure that there are no communication gaps between the two partners. Everyone is aware of their roles and they know what is right and what is wrong. This allows the entire work procedure to run smoothly without any unnecessary stoppages.

Lastly, for those businesses that are using outsourcing to develop their company software must be aware about the use of NDA. Through an NDA, they can limit the use of their outsourcing partner and restrict them only towards the actual job they are hired to do. The outsourcing organization can always be in control when using NDA. If something goes wrong through the use of NDA, the firm can control the damages. Also the outsourced partner is aware of the legal cost if they break the pact. Therefore, it is good that firms who use outsourcing partners make a NDA and get it approved by their partners. Businesses that are in the information and technology industry are now adopting the use of NDA as outsourcing has become a common practice.

ASP.Net and JavaScript can make great engaging web applications

JavaScript-AJAX development
"ASP .Net the flagship and most ambitious product from Microsoft to serve the web industry in an amazing way have been ruling the industry since its inception. The only technology that can directly compete with the all-time industry leader Java is none other than ASP .Net. Being a web domain specific technology, it has all the features and components that a web developer may need during the development process. As a framework it really helps ASP .Net developer lot in terms of lessening the development effort and time. Altogether, ASP .Net is an awesome package i.e. fully loaded with features and functionalities along with in-built libraries enabling web developers creating highly efficient web solution. When it combines with JavaScript, the web developer will undoubtedly get the best result out there. Let's see how? "

ASP .Net controls are simply boon for web developers: Controls of ASP .Net is treated as the success key for the product; because they really give life to the platform with their unmatched quality of service and power to empower any web application with utmost care. Different controls of ASP .Net perform different tasks for the application with perfection that is the most important part. Controls like Menu control, grid view, graphs and charts etc will definitely improve the quality of web application without much hassle. Along with that AJAX and Editor control will help web developers in creating asynchronous web applications on the fly that make the application not only light but engaging enough to stick the audience with the browser.

ASP .Net with JavaScript for interactive and dynamic web development: Dynamic web page is at its peak and so should be. Considering the fact, that web applications are getting mass traffic from smart devices like smart phones and tablets; it is supposed to the developer to design smart apps that can well behave in different smart devices without compromising on the quality of the application. With Dynamic web content, it makes a lot sense in improving the overall user experience to a next level. Again, when ASP .Net comes together with JavaScript the things get much refined than before. JavaScript can be used in a much refined manner in creating interactive and attractive web application on the fly. Flood your web application with events to make it interactive and user friendly- JavaScript will takes care everything seamlessly.

ASP .Net with BootstrapJS can add fragrances to the application: JavaScript is super-fast faster than any other programming language on the earth and hence the terrific demand of the same. ASP .Net does not make any mistake by integrating twitter bootstrap with the framework in the latest edition. Now, the ASP .Net developer can directly get benefit of the library from the platform in designing responsive and event driven application. Moreover, with bootstrap the content rendering over the web page on various screen resolution will be seamless. Again, with media query, web developer will end up with amazing web app development on ASP .Net framework.

Are you worried about web app development- It's possible with ASP & JS combo: Counting the number of smart devices! It’s growing man at a much faster pace than our imagination. So, you must accommodate with the situation by creating amazingly exceptional web apps for those smart phone and tablets. From ASP .Net framework develop smart apps for any platform like android or iOS or windows with the power from JavaScript making the entire process funnier. You app will render perfectly fine in all devices and platforms now. Again since JavaScript-AJAX development is super-fast; it will make the app powered with lots of speed in-built in the application.

Engaging and attractive web app with HTML5 and CSS3 along with ASP .Net: Thinking of modern web app development; and we are missing out HTML5 and CSS3 there. It's not fair. Now, make your web application powered by ASP and JavaScript along with HTML5 and CSS3 in creating overwhelming and attractive web pages on the fly. HTML5 canvas and SVG are there to make the multimedia file render and run smoothly on the web page whereas CSS3 transition and other effects are simply awesome. HTML5 local storage i.e. improved and bigger cookie will definitely help your application to run while offline; it’s a virtual concept though. Engage your visitors with engaging HTML5 games and visual graphics in a hassle free manner and all within very less memory or light weight. Again, make your multimedia video files render over the page without any flash but with same user experience or even better with HTML5 video!! With these technologies as a part of your web application development, the application will touch the heart of your user and definitely be a grand success.

Create cross platform apps from within ASP .Net: The latest ASP .Net platform supports cross platform web app or native app development. Those who used say Microsoft does only monopoly; are now silent because, with latest version Microsoft enables web developers in creating awesome apps for Android, iOS and Windows etc. In fact, ASP .Net has in-built simulator kind of stuff that will enable the web developer in visualizing how their stuff will render in practical device from within the platform itself. This will definitely change the app development work and improve their quality to a large extend. On the other hand, it will eliminate unnecessary works for the tester since many are done by the developer by visualizing the exact look and feel of the web app through the in-built simulator and hence creating marvellous piece of smart apps with ASP .Net.

Forget about engaging web application; think ahead for smart site and smart app with ASP .Net powered by JS: No more websites! Now it’s time for smart sites; the sites that are highly intelligent and powered by artificial intelligence. Apps can now render themselves in a beautiful and smarter manner knowing where they are i.e. their platform! If they are within iOS they will behave in certain way other than that of Android and same case happens with the device screen size as well. And, everything is possible with ASP .Net powered by JavaScript!! So, the future lies here only.

Checklist for outsourcing software development

software development company
As globalization increases with every step of the way, companies and major organizations are moving towards the concept of outsourcing and using external contractors to get relevant software and production processes developed. However, outsourcing brings with it an increased amount of security and trust issues. Companies usually have very important trade secrets that they would not wish to be disclosed. Therefore, sharing company sensitive information with a client who is not physically present can be taxing. Over the past years many outsourced projects have taken a turn for the worst, where either due to mismanagement the project failed delivers on the desired results, or due to certain negligence trade secrets or sensitive company information was leaked.

In order to avoid such a scenario, companies must undertake a proper background check of their client whom they intend to work with. Following is a checklist that companies can follow when choosing their outsourcing partner.

Make a criteria list: A list of criteria must be established that the outsourcing partner should follow. By outlining the essentials both the firms doing business together are aware of their rights and limitations. All ambiguities are sorted out, and work can commence in a proper way. By doing so a proper framework is established through which the business venture can move ahead in a professional way. This would reduce the chance of any unforeseen risk and deadline breaches. Furthermore the firm would not have to spend additional amount of capital on contingency plans.

Compile an alternate client list: It is always prudent to have backup or alternate options in case the primary client, either back out or due to some reason is deemed as unqualified for the job. By having a list of alternate outsourcing software developers, the respective organization can reduce the cost of finding clients every time. The alternate list can also be used for future outsourcing plans and would save the firm valuable time on researching upon prospective outsourcing clients.

Background check is a definite to-do: Undertake a credibility check of the outsourced partners. To make sure that the outsourcing company’s software developers are credible and reliable; a proper background check regarding the work efficiency of the partner should be undertaken. It is essential that the following outsourced partners are using legitimate production techniques and have a reputation of delivering on time and are not regarded as a company that is known for slacking. It will be ill advised if the firm neglects doing the appropriate credibility check because there might be a chance that the outsourcing partner usually breaches deadlines or has a reputation of committing some sort of felony.

Narrow down the list of alternates: After the complete due diligence process, the list of potential alternates can be reduced and only those that the company sees as a future partner can be left. This allows the organization to focus their energy on the important alternates and take an informed decision.

Select the best of the lot: The last aspect on the checklist is the selection of an appropriate client/partner. After all the necessary information is collected and the outsourcing software development partner is chosen the respective company can visit their offices and have interactive meetings so that a proper understanding is established between the two partners. Even though the process is only for a temporary time period, yet the cost associated with the project and the sensitivity of it, compels the organization to undertake the entire checklist procedure.

Trust form the basis of any long term relationship but that does not mean one would choose its software development partner based on all that. A due diligence and meaningful interactions could save a lot of time, effort and money in the future. So when you choose your software development partner choose wisely.
