Where Am I?

My regular readers are wondering where I suddenly disappeared. Why I am not posting regularly on any of the blogs and forums. I really feel sorry about it. In fact, I also feel that I am not justifying my involvement with JSR 286. There are multiple reasons for it and the most important is my occupancy with our running portal projects. I was also busy in finishing my Portlets Factory. Anyways, now I hope I am back and able to contribute to all such areas.

You will be wondering what exactly the "portlets factory" is. Portlets Factory is going to have different meaning to different people. But the most common meaning is a place where you can get readymade portlets. In short, I am working towards creating bunch of JSR 168 compliant out-of-box portlets. I always felt strong need of portlets that can be readily utilized with the J2EE portals but not many companies are working towards that. Here are few of the latest portlets we have finished -

1. Collaboration Portlets for Lotus Domino Server
2. Collaboration Portlets for Database
3. New version of Collaboration Portlets for Microsoft Exchange Server
4. Portlets for Issue Tracking, Bug Tracking and Change Management
5. Portlets for Poll and Feedback etc.

These are what we already have ready with us. There are quite a few portlets that are under development and you will soon see more information about them.

Here are few of the screenshots of our latest products -

SyncEx Collaboration Portlets

SyncEx Issue Tracker

Do you also feel a need of a place where you can get free and commercial JSR 168 compliant portlets? If yes and you have such portlets, please let me know at punitp [at] gmail.com. I would love to have it in my portlets factory.

    Hi Punit,

    The idea is awesome to have a place to showcase the portlets. I guess Out of Box portlets are need of the hour bec of its obvious advantages. There are not many such applications currently available, this will surely help in boosting portal adoption in Industry.

    hey,

    have been following your blogs for a while.. am also currently working with IBM portal server.. well, quite new to it.. was wondering if you have had any experience with it and if yes, how you would rate it? we havent looked at any alternatives as we are limited by the fact that IBM is a partner and hence have to use their software.. any words of advice?

    thanks

    ps - very interesting articles in your blog.. keep it up..

    Hi Mahesh,

    IMO IBM WebSphere Portal is good software, but IBM has (deliberately???) made installation and configuration of WPS very complex. So anybody will have hard time without the support from IBM. From IBM's perspective it seems a good idea to sell services after selling a costly product?

    Goodday Punit,

    Pretty new to this blogger stuff, but quite pleased to see blogs on portal technology.

    My interest is on portal , but more on pervasive portals. Recently implemeneted a mobile banking portlet application, using IBM WebSphere Everyplace Mobile Portal version 5.1. Pretty challenging as it was on the first WEMP implementations.

    With regard to the WebSphere Portal 6.0 blog, do you perhaps know if there are any enhancemenst for pervasive(mobiel and voice ) portals ?

    Though I am very novice to portal technology, I'd love to see further develpments on this subject.

    Regards

    Mz

    Hello Punit,

    Will your issue tracking portlets work with existing, commercial or open source issue tracking systems. Specifically Jira or ClearQuest.

    No Timothy, we have our own implementation of issue tracking/ bug tracking and our portlets work with that only at this point of time. We have no immediate plans to support ClearQuest or Jira.

Web Clipping for Portals goes Mainstream

Lack of good web clippers (aka URL scrappers) in the market obstructs quick portal adoption. Web Clipping is one of the fastest methods for integrating existing applications with the portals. Though nearly all portals come with web clipper tools/ portlets but most of them lack the professional touch. Kapow and Clickmarks are two such companies in the market whose products are quite advanced in comparison to out-of-box web clipping portlets provided with most portals. Yesterday's announcement by Kapow Technology for the release of version 6.0 of "RoboSuite Web Integration platform" will definitely boost this market. Kapow Press Release

Firebase upgraded properties are not yet supported in Google Analytics App

Image
Recently I saw a message in Firebase Console to upgrade my Firebase property to Google Analytics property. Such properties are called Google Analytics App + Web properties in GA after upgrade. The primary benefit for upgrading the property that I see is that we can see all Firebase Analytics data in Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a tool that we all have used for years and it is slightly easier for me. I am also more comfortable doing analysis using Google Analytics than Firebase Analytics. On top of that we also get benefit of third party integrations like AdWords (now Google Ads) integration if we get all the data from Firebase Analytics into Google Analytics. So, I upgraded my Firebase property to Google Analytics property. The was a pleasant experience to see all Firebase Analytics data in Google Analytics in the format that I understand much better. But soon I realized that there is one important part missing. On The Go, I use Google Analytics App to get a quick glance of ...

App Worth Calculator - App Price Estimator

Image
Now a days I see many requests for buying my Android Apps. It looks like a new business of sell & purchase of mobile app is coming up. Buying and selling websites and domain is there for quite some time now but app trading is something which looks like a recent phenomenon. Till now there is no way we can calculate price of an app for buying and selling. Keeping this in mind, I have created a website ( http://www.appprice.org/ ) and an mobile app for android (link on the website). Our " App Price Calculator " uses a formula developed by us which gives you an approximate cost of your app. This cost can be used for estimating worth of your app. Please have a look and let me know your feedback -  App Price Calculator
