Tri-Force Sees India Emerging as PHP Development Hotspot

In recent times PHP has emerged as the language for web development, and most companies opting for PHP development. Tri-Force says that India saw the potential of the language early and has a talented pool of PHP developers. This fact has made the country the first choice for offshore PHP development work.

Most programmers like to work with PHP while they are developing websites. PHP has become very popular over a short period of time, and the fact that it makes the process of developing websites faster, simpler, and less stressful for the developers has contributed to its popularity. PHP development has had this effect on the world of website development because it can help quick building of dynamic pages, and it facilitates the integration of disparate elements in the website.

Tri-Force, a leading software development company in India, is one of the important players in the PHP development market, and during the last few years the company has seen a tremendous and steady increase in development projects involving PHP language. A number of clients insist that PHP be used in developing their websites, and so a number of companies have gone into a recruiting overdrive to employ more and more people who possess experience and expertise with PHP development.

An official from Tri-Force throws more light on the situation, “There are a lot of companies from Europe, UK and US who wish to take full advantage of the skills of India programmers and the low prices. India has been ready for this boom in the need for PHP developers. Indian software developing firms and the educational institutes teaching programming had realized early on that PHP is the next big thing. So, we have a large number of qualified PHP developers in India who excel at PHP web development. Consequently, a large number of companies are seeing sense in outsourcing their website development to India.”

India software companies also benefit from the fact that the same companies from Europe, UK and US have previously used Indian programmers for their software development work. Indian companies like Tri-Force have proven themselves in the eyes of the world.

The 7 Best Apps from Symbian Application Development

Some say that Symbian Application Development is not as exciting as iPhone or Blackberry application development; I have prepared a list of my favorite 7 apps available on Symbian to counter this accusation.

Many feel that Symbian is losing battle against BlackBerry, iPhone and Android-based smartphones. While Symbian’s market share has reduced over time, especially in Asian and European markets where Nokia handsets have dominated the market for years. One of the reasons often given is the advent of smartphones and the app culture that has developed around them.

It has been often said that Symbian application development has not taken off as well as that of its rivals iPhone and BlackBerry, but over 300,000 apps are downloaded every day on Nokia devices, and there are numerous Symbian apps in the market. Below is the list of my favorite 7 Symbian apps.

Gravity: This application by Mobileways allows user to access their Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and other social networking accounts. It also makes the task of uploading photos quicker and easier for most of the popular sites, including Flickr and TwitPic. It especially good for Twitter users as it has almost all the features you would find on a desktop Twitter app.

Best Screen Shot: The names says it all—it does give the best screen shot you can get, and you can also send the screen shots to your friends and your desktop. It lets you save the screenshot as color BMP, JPG and 256 color BMP, and also auto-generates names for the images, making your task easier.

Qik: This app is an example of smart Symbian application development. It allows you to broadcast/stream your videos over the internet using your phone camera. It’s amazing when you can see the comments of the viewers as your

performance continues.
Handy Taskman: This app will make using your smartphone simpler and will let you manage multiple applications with ease and élan. You can get a bigger view of your app listing after installing Handy Taskman and it makes switching and force closing frozen applications painless. It displays your RAM and available storage options, and does a lot more to make handling your smartphone trouble-free.

Joikuspot: Symbian application development has delivered a gem—Joikuspot turns your computer into a Wi-Fi hotspot, people accustomed to tethering must try this, it works better. You can use your laptop anywhere once you have this app. Its premium version is of great use as it comes with a password, and makes it impossible for any other users to steal from your Wi-Fi!

Google Maps: I was very happy when Google Maps was made available to Symbian. It fits perfectly with the Symbian look and its features that let me know my position and shows me my destination on the map. Now I never need to ask for directions.

Shazam: Has it ever happened that you are at a mall or at on the road and you hear some amazing music playing and want to know who the artist is? Shazam is the gift of Symbian application development to random music lovers—you just need to let this app listen to a part of the song and it will come up with the names of the artist and the band!

Points to Keeping in Mind While Hiring Developers from an Offshore Web Development Company

Hiring programmers from offshore web development companies is in vogue, but there are you need to be aware of some facts about the services you will get, in order to make the outsourcing process profitable and fruitful for your business.

IT technology is evolving at a rapid rate, and it is practically impossible for small or midsized firms to maintain or train developers with all the necessary skills. In order to save costs, you, as a small or midsized firm are faced with the option of making a long-term investment in software infrastructure and skills, or outsource your project to an offshore development team.

Outsourcing provides the obvious cost benefits, and it also saves you the hassles of upgrading your staff every few months, or employing new resources for every new project. But outsourcing your work to the cheapest offshore development company will not necessarily make your life easier. You must look for a dependable company that has a good track record with developing and delivering projects similar to yours. When you look for an offshore web development company, make sure that they actually provide the services and facilities they promise.

Every decent offshore web development company will let you take part in the recruitment process. They should vet at least three candidates for every position, and you should have the choice to choose the best from the three options. Don’t trust a company that takes more than 3-4 weeks to get the right candidates for youy project (unless it’s a huge project);good companies have reserve resources and can get a team ready in little time—that’s the reason they are there.

The offshore team works for you, are paid by you, and take directions from you. Make sure that the contract states that the team works exclusively on your projects. and not on several projects at a time. You will need to communicate with the development team, and it is essential that they speak good enough English to understand your instructions and explain their ideas.

The contract should also clearly spell out that the web development company providing you’re the developers will provide them all the technical assistance they need, and also set up the necessary infrastructure for the team. The development team should send you daily, weekly or month project reports, and you should be able to talk to them any time you want, through pre-established communication systems.

Also, consider the possibility that you project may get completed before time, and in that case you should have the option to discontinue using the services of the offshore web development company. There is a possibility that your project requirement may fluctuate with changing technology and business environment, especially if it’s a long-term project. Before you select your outsourcing partner, make sure that they are willing and capable of providing developers with different skill-sets.

Outsourcing your project requirements by hiring developers who work for low rates at an offshore development center can help you cut down on the overheads and save a lot of money, but to make it possible you need to choose a reliable and capable web development company as your partner. Invest some time in researching the background of the company and how it has performed on other projects; this will help you save a lot of hassles and time in future.

Tri-Force in Recruitment Overdrive after Increased PHP Development Demand

Tri-Force Pvt. Ltd, a software development company in India, is hiring a number of new PHP developers to fulfill the rapidly increasing demand for PHP-based web development projects.

PHP development is taking the world of website development by storm, and most businesses want their websites developed using PHP. And the reasons for this insistence are obvious: not only does PHP facilitate the development of multiple dynamic pages compatible with a number of other technologies, it also cuts down the time and effort required to build the website.

Almost all small, midsize, and large organizations need to develop or upgrade their websites; consequently, there is a great demand for PHP development. Offshore development centers like India can fulfill these web development needs at low cost, and so a number of companies from US, UK and Europe are outsourcing small and large web development projects to India.

This increasing popularity for PHP development had been foreseen by a number of software development companies and educational institutes in India, and as a result, Indian companies have access to a vast pool of talented PHP developers.

Tri-Force, a reputed software development company with branches both in US and India, has seen a sharp increase in number of companies approaching it for PHP-based web development.

Tri-Force has been involved in web development since a long time, and has built PHP-based website for a number of satisfied clients. The company also has a rock-solid reputation in the US owing to the presence of its top-management there. A recent survey by a Wharton School of Business scholar found out that Tri-Force’s clients recommend its services to others, and come back to the company for other software development work because they feel they can rely on Tri-Force to deliver quality products on time.

Tri-Force has been awarded a number of PHP development projects by companies across the world, and in order to meet the requirements of numerous projects, Tri-Force has begun the process of hiring PHP developers. The company has been hiring PHP developers since last few months, and its quality products have satisfied more clients, bringing further web development work.

“Our needs are increasing with the increase in demand for PHP developers in the market. Our developers are chosen from the best institutions, and the team is centered around a team leader who has successfully worked on a number of projects.India has a lot of talented PHP developers and our special screening process ensures that we hire the cream, capable of developing innovative and smoothly functioning websites.”

“Our developers are driven to succeed, and in addition to proper technical knowledge, they are also good at communicating in English. A good PHP developer is not so good when he cannot comprehend the client’s ideas. All the PHP developers at Tri-Force possess above-average English-speaking skills. The need for PHP  development is set to increase with time, and we are keen to capitalize on the skills large number of PHP developer in Indian market. Our effort is to create many teams of PHP developers, so that we can complete multiple projects quickly.”

Tri-Force is one the few companies consistently getting work from its client’s aboard, as it has established its reputation as genuine company capable of developing striking websites and delivering them on time. This has landed the company many new projects and made it imputative for the firm to hire a number of new employees.

Tri-Force Sees Great opportunities for Mobile Application Development in Small Apps Sectors

Until now the Mobile Application Development market has been dominated by large companies looking for companies to build complex service-oriented apps, but Tri-force says that a new trend is set to change the way mobile development works.

Smartphones are the latest in the string of devices that have revolutionized the world of business. Companies have used mobile application development in various ways to increase their functionality, promote their businesses, and increase their visibility in the market. A large number of people use their smartphones for business as well as entertainment purposes, and recent surveys point to the fact that most professionals spend more time on their smartphones than any other device except their PCs.

While mobile application development has hitherto been used by big or midsize firms to earn revenue or provide better services to their clients, Tri-Force says that now numerous smaller firms are also opting to develop apps pertaining to their businesses. Mobile apps are becoming as common as calling cards, and simpler mobile apps (that do not take too long to develop, nor cost too much) have helped a lot of companies find a way into their customer’s smartphones.

A Tri-Force official commented on the growing trend of small apps, “Apps are a great way for companies to connect with their customers, and apps can also help them get in touch with a number of new customers. Recently we developed an app for a relatively small Pizza restaurant. The app doesn’t do much more than offer a digital menu and pinpoint the location of the restaurant on a map. But a large number of their clientele use smartphones and they have go into the habit of using apps to get any of their tasks done. Even if it’s just a simple and small app, the company will find space in the customers’ smartphones and its business will improve.”

“Earlier, when Yahoo and Hotmail entered the market, people began asking each other their email ids instead of phone numbers, and people who did not have an id were left out of the loop. Later on as the internet was growing, companies developed their websites to make it easy for customers to contact them, and now every company has a website. The way smartphones are taking over the communications world, it is quite possible that most companies will develop apps to take advantage of the growing popularity of smartphones.”

Tri-Force specializes in mobile application development and the company has seen a substantial increase in the number of small companies inquiring for developing apps. While the trend just an year ago was skewed in favor of large apps that were centered on a particular service, an increasingly large number of smaller firms today are interested in developing apps purely as an advertising and promotional solution. 

Tri-Force says that a number of these apps can be developed within days as the concept behind such apps is not at all complex. Furthermore, the low cost of such apps and the high utility value mean that small companies can get a very good return on their investment in mobile application development. If the trend continues, there is no escaping the fact that the next boom in mobile development will come, not from large businesses looking for complex apps, but from smaller companies looking for little apps.

Tri-Force the Preferred Offshore Software Development Company for Numerous US Firms

Outsourcing to offshore companies helps US companies save a lot of time, effort and money, but many shy away from this option because they are not sure they can trust and rely upon companies outside US. Tri-Force’s reputation for dependability and its presence in US has allowed it to find favor with number of US companies and government organizations.


India is the ideal outsourcing destination for IT companies across the world, and it makes perfect sense for US companies to outsource their software development work to offshore companies. Not only does outsourcing such work save US companies time and money, but it also allows them to concentrate on the key areas of their business. The companies who outsource their work are freed from the hassle of training their staff for new needs that arise as a result of new technology, and they also don’t need to make heavy investments in infrastructure.

The only hurdle in the way of outsourcing work is finding a reliable and efficient company that delivers what is needed. Many companies try outsourcing, but one bad experience with outsourcing firms that fail to deliver the solutions or services on time makes them wary of the whole idea. Cheap prices, at times, produce unacceptable software riddled with bugs, and any advantage offered by outsourcing is offset by the flawed products.

Tri-Force, an offshore software development company located in Ahmedabad, India, has been delivering customized solutions to US companies since years, and has built a reputation of dependability and efficiency. Tri-Force has always taken into consideration the concerns of its US clients and this has resulted in its becoming one of the favorite outsourcing companies for many US companies and government organizations.

An official from Tri-Force throws light on the polices that have attracted US companies, “Most of the times, the clients are not too sure of what to expect from an outsourcing firm, and bitter experience tells them not to trust all claims made by an outsourcing company. The fact that they will never see the person they are doing business with makes them a little uncomfortable, and understandably so.”

“Tri-Force’s top management is present in the US and Tri-Force’s sister company is well-established in the US. We also have a very clear idea of the various legal issues that government organizations need to address before they outsource their work, and we take care of all such needs. Our customers can interact with our top management before they award the project, and we provide a detailed outline of how the software development process. With us, they are dealing with real people, and this has made many companies to outsource their software development projects to us.”

Tri-Force is aware of its position as a preferred Offshore software development company, and it makes sure that its employees are capable of communicating clearly with the client. So Tri-Force employees need to be good at understanding and speaking in English. The company also has strong communication systems that allow the clients to keep in touch with the people working on their projects at any time of the day. The employees work exclusively for the companies and send them daily, weekly or month reports charting out the progress of the project.

These practices have seen Tri-Force become a trusted partner for a number of US companies and organizations. A survey conducted by a Wharton School of Business scholar found out that companies prefer working with Tri-Force because they know that their project will be delivered on time and on-cost.

How Mobile Application Development Can Generate Positive Changes

Technology has shown how it can usher in social change: the revolution in Egypt owed a lot to Facebook. People were able to connect and express their thoughts online; Facebook gave them a platform to group together and speak out their minds. In the same way, smartphone apps have not just created waves in the field of entertainment, media, business, utility and games: there are many mobile apps that work towards bringing about a positive change in the society.

Many companies involved in Mobile Application Development, and a number of committed individuals, have developed mobile apps that promote diverse social causes. The following is a list of mobile apps that have helped improve the life of millions:

Catalista
Have ever felt like volunteering and doing your bit to change the world, but never found the right cause or organization to dedicate your efforts to? Catalista is a mobile app made for people like you. It helps volunteers meet up with the right kind of organization by pinging then with information about organizations around them, in their locality.

CauseWorld
This app was built with the purpose of convincing corporations to do their bit for the social causes. The users of this app go to the stores of the corporations, and scan their products with their phone cameras. In return the corporate sponsors make donations to the causes specified by the app users.

GoodGuide
This app is supported by a vast database which has important information on over 65,000 products. This app lets you know how a particular product will impact the environment by revealing the producers health impact, green factor and social responsibility. Install this app and make sure that what you are buying is not wrecking havoc on the environment.

Eco Hero
The Sierra Club is known for using Mobile Application Development to combat social problems and generate public interest for issues that affect the lives of millions. Eco Hero has a proactive approach and it asks its members to take pledges that will help America reduce its dependence on other countries for its goods. The pledges may be as simple as promising to walk and bike more.

Conspiracy for Good
“Conspiracy for Good” is a series of apps by Nokia that focus on bringing fun and entertainment to doing the act of good deeds. Tim Kring, the man who created the TV series Heroes, was roped in for developing this series which combines online activities with real-world activities to make the process of raising awareness for social issues fun.


Touch to Give
This mobile app is similar to the e-mail forwards that persuade people to visit a particular site and donate money for a worthy task. It is run by The Hunger Site and urges he users to make donations for different causes. You can help hunger, breast cancer and animal rescue operations using this app.

Give Work
A perfect example of mobile application development bringing positive change through technology, this app encourages people, not to donate money, but to give work to people in underprivileged nations. Using this app you give work to refugees in Kenya and elsewhere, who work on short onscreen projects.

Use the fruits of iPhone Application Development to Generate Laughter

Just like computers and various computer applications, the apps on iPhone too are great at making life easier, increasing productivity, saving time, and saving money. But that’s not the best part of the iPhone apps for me.

I love the wacky iPhone apps that help me shock and scare and prank people around me. I’ve compiled a list of the seven best prank apps you can get on iPhone. They are my personal favorites and you might not find all the ones you like here, but you’ll surely find some new pranks and trick iPhone apps to scare your friends and enemies!

The following are the pranks that make me thank god for iPhone application development and the crazy, creative talent it attracts:

iBroke: You love your iPhone, don’t you? What if its screen cracked, suddenly and inexplicably? How would you feel looking through the shattered screen of your iPhone? iBroke makes the screen appear broken and its pretty good at simulating a broken screen. Get your friend’s iPhone for a while, hand the ‘broken’ phone back, and apologize. Then take a snap of their dumbfounded expression with your iPhone!

iBeer: Your iPhone can do almost anything and it has got a large memory… surely it can store a pint of beer? You can drink beer directly from your iPhone after downloading this app. Just tilt you phone and the beer level on the screen will drop accordingly; it also allows you to pour beer into your friend’s iPhone if he’s got the app installed! Go for it.

Ghost Prank Pro: Are ghosts for real? Do they really exist? Have you seen those grainy images with a blurry (usually white and smoky) outline? Ghost Prank Pro is a result of rather clever iPhone application development process, and it allows you to superimpose ‘ghost’ images on any photograph you have. The pranking possibilities with this app are immense!

iFart: Farts are almost as good as someone falling down when it comes to evoking laughter. This app is the prankster’s bread and butter. It’s got over 30 fart sounds, and you can create waves of laughter by making it appear that someone has farted. Works best when the sound of fart breaks complete silence.

The Ultimate X-ray: Tout this app as the pinnacle of iPhone application development and amaze your friends with what your iPhone can manage. This app turns your iPhone into an x-ray scanner, or at least makes it look like that! This app will superimpose x-ray of a hand while you move it over your hand—it’s very convincing!

iBug: Got any friends who are really afraid of insects? This app will make it look like there is a bug crawling over your iPhone screen. You can choose from among a number of different bugs, and this app works so well you will get pranked yourself when the bugs suddenly cross the screen.

iLabyrinth (iPhone Screamer): An old, old trick that seldom fails. iPhone screamer is dangerous: the person holding the iPhone is more than likely to drop the cell; he/she may even throw it away! It comes disguised as a simple game. You are supposed to pass a silver marble through a labyrinth of holes. While the game is moving smoothly, a horrible, demonical face will pop up and scare the hell out of you!

Right now is a great time to be an iPhone Developer: Do you have what it needs to be one?

At a time when you can easily order anything from the internet using your computer or smartphone, it is rare to see people standing in a line to buy something.

After J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, it is for iPhones that people have been seen waiting patiently in long lines for hours. iPhones have made a special place in the hearts of the younger generation and an iPhone is considered a must-have accessory.

People spend hours every day using or downloading apps. Companies have found a new way of making their presence felt in the market: just developing one app that goes viral and it downloaded by a number of people can give more publicity to a company than a 100 advertisements. And understandably, people possessing skills in developing iPhone applications are in great demand. Right now is a great time to be an iPhone developer.

If you are good at understanding the business idea behind an application, visualize and anticipate what needs it can fulfill and how, realize its market potential; you have the right mindset needed to develop applications for iPhone. You also need creativity to make your app look and feel different from other similar apps out there in the market. Your success will depend heavily on your ability to gauge the needs of the customers and your skill in making something that surpasses their expectations and surprises them.

As an iPhone developer, you should also possess the skill of standing in someone else’s shoes and anticipating their needs—this will help you build an app with good functionality. Technical knowledge and an urge to find more and more about your subject will help you create something original: the market out there is very competitive and many others are working hard to harness the evolving technology and create the best possible application.

You also need to be good at planning, organizing and implementing your ideas. At a time when the workload will be intense, you should be able to meet deadlines and perform well under pressure. You also need have good interpersonal and marketing skills: you don’t have to be a brilliant salesman, but need enough to convince others about the effectiveness of your ideas. You will have to sell every aspect of your project: just knowing that it is good won’t do, others must also be brought around to your point of view.

In a world where the latest technology is being used to make smartphones smarter, iPhone is leading the revolution. Hundreds of thousands of iPhone apps are used in the market and billions have been downloaded till date. Applications that make life easy or fun are always going to in great demand. More and more people are buying iPhones and the demand is set to increase with time.

If you have the right set of skill and a combination of technological and commercial sense, you have a great opportunity to create amazing iPhone applications and win fame and fortune.  Do you think you have what it needs to be an iPhone developer? If the answer is yes, then the virtual world is your playground and there are no limits.

Outsource Your PHP Development Work and Get Stunning Websites at Low Rates

Among all the languages used to develop websites today, most programmers would name PHP as their favorite option. And with good reason to: PHP is reliable, economical, fast and secure. The fact that it can be easily implanted into HTML, XHTML and other scripting languages makes it the first choice of programmers worldwide.

Countries like India are teeming with talented programmers and a number of companies specialize in programming, designing and creating content for web sites. As these companies take complete responsibility of development your website and are a one-stop destination for your all your web development needs, you should consider outsourcing you web development work.

When it comes to designing a good website that creates the right image of your business in the minds of your clients and customers, it is only right that you go for the best option rather than the cheapest option. You can train your own programmer to develop a website—but the costs, both in terms of teaching them the skills they will use only once, and in the man-hours you will have to devote to the program, make it an unnecessarily expensive exercise.

You can hire a freelance to develop your website. But freelancers are a gamble: if you are lucky you may find a freelancer who does brilliant work and doesn’t charge too much. But on the flip side you are faced with the option of paying for an unattractive website that doesn’t reflect well on your company.

Outsourcing your PHP Development work to a company that is has a lot of experience in developing customized websites for other businesses might be your best bet. Such companies are created for this very purpose: they have teams of designers, PHP developers, SEO teams and content writers. You can choose one or all of the services they offer. Outsourcing helps you to build stunning websites at economical rates. Choose a bona fide company to ensure on-time delivery and first-rate services.

The other significant advantage of using outsourcing services is the flexibility most companies offer: you can choose from among a number of different work-models. You can ‘hire’ a PHP developer or a team of developers; this means that they work exclusively on your project and are in touch with you. You can keep an eye on the development of your website and offer suggestions and make queries regarding any point.

Or you can give deal with the company on a project basis—you pay a certain amount and the company delivers the project with all its specifications by the predetermined time. You can also use the services of one or more PHP developers for a few days on an hourly basis. This system can save you a lot of time and money in case your PHP Development needs are limited to developing a few applications.

So, if you need someone to develop a dynamic, feature-rich website, and you do not want to spend large amount of money or time on it, your best bet is to outsource the project to a good offshore development firm.

Tri-Force delivers these at economical rates and this has made it the preferred choice of many companies looking to launch their business websites

Facts suggest that the number of people watching TV is lesser than those using the internet. The trend of watching news, getting entertainment and shopping on the internet is growing.

It is easy to find a web development company in the market that is capable of developing a website from the functional perspective, but not many companies possess the capability of creating an attractive design.
