Mindfire Solutions Features in SD Times Exclusive Report on Android

Bhubaneswar, India, March 06, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Mindfire Solutions featured in one of the leading software magazine "SD Times" in the February 2011 Edition. This indeed is a landmark for Mindfire Solutions.

SD Times is one of the leading sources for information of the Software Development industry. An article in the February’ 2011 issue titled "Rise of the Androids" featured an exclusive interview of our Senior Manager, Subhendu (Sam) Pattnaik by Alex Handy, Sr. Editor, SD Times. Android, which is an open source mobile development platform, offers many benefits over the other competing platforms. Android is built on the open Linux Kernel. It utilizes a custom virtual machine that was designed to optimize memory and hardware resources in a mobile environment. Android's growing popularity is not limited to its users, but also is aimed at developers and enterprises looking to build applications. Android development is easier and facilitates future app development on other platforms. According to Sr. Manager, Subhendu (Sam) Pattnaik, moving from Enterprise Java to Android Java is not a tough transition. He stated that, “Java experts do not have to learn much about Android application development. There is not much of a difference. A person who knows Java would need a week and a half to get rolling and coding on the Android platform”. He believed that more and more Small and Medium-sized Businesses are getting interested in the platform due to the availability of the Android SDK where-in one does not have to pay for anything other than development. He also said that the only way to be sure of how moving to Android will feel for enterprise Java developers is to jump in and download the SDK. The most important thing with Android is that, documentation is available freely on the Web. With this heavy rate of growth, Android is becoming a compelling platform for do it-yourself developers who rely on Google for all of their coding answers. But enterprises and smaller businesses are also taking notice of the little green robot, and Mr. Pattnaik assumed that this interest has come at the expense of the iPhone.
