<p>For a while now, a mobile port of the <a href="https://travis-ci.org/">Travis CI</a> web application that I packaged as a <a href="http://phonegap.com/">PhoneGap</a> app had been available for Android <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floydpink.android.travisci">on Google Play</a>.</p>
<p>Quite recently I managed to wrap the same HTML5 app into an iOS app as well, thanks to detailed guides at PhoneGap and a lot of good questions on StackOverflow.</p>
<p>It was a good experience in trying to the do similar things that worked on the Linux/Eclipse/Android on to the Mac/Xcode/iOS. </p>
<p>Click on the buttons above to download the app from one of the stores. Also you could find out more about the apps and get to the open source repositories etc. from <a href="http://floydpink.github.io/Mantis-CI/">here</a>.</p>

The simplest tree models are usually quite inefficient, while more complex ones aren't necessarily better. This talk briefly goes through the most used models (adjacency list, materialized path, nested sets) and introduce some more advanced ones belonging to the nested intervals family (Farey algorithm, Continued Fractions, and other encodings). The advantages and pitfalls of each model, some proprietary solutions (e.g. Oracle's CONNECT BY) and one of the SQL Standard's upcoming features, Common Table Expressions are described.A stroke of insight - a splendid talk from TEDhttps://harimenon.com/2013/04/22/a-stroke-of-insight/2013-04-22T23:15:00.000Z2024-01-28T22:59:10.880ZAn amazing video found on TED.An awesome write-up on Designhttps://harimenon.com/2013/03/27/an-awesome-writeup-on-design/2013-03-27T15:28:00.000Z2024-01-28T22:59:10.880ZLinklog of an Information Architects article found from twitter.Adding splash screen to an Ember.js apphttps://harimenon.com/2013/03/13/adding-splash-screen-to-an-ember-dot-js-app/2013-03-13T23:48:00.000Z2024-01-28T22:59:10.880ZAdd a custom splash screen for an Ember.js application, that could be especially usefult if it's deployed as mobile apps.
