Re: My app - shameless plug :-)

2010-02-14 Thread Benjamin
Duong, if your question was for me - i'm seriously considering going
open source with Nimbits. There are a few reasons i have to keep parts
of it proprietary. I will almost certainly release to source to all of
the client interfaces - in fact, i put a lot of free code on my blog:
http://nimbits.blogspot.com/

The whole point of nimbits is to provide a single place to store and
share historical data - and it provides web services you can program
on top of - i'm posting code on how to do this every day.

There are a couple of parts of the backend platform i spent so much
time on, it's hard to open it up to the world - but it gives me
something to think about. Thanks for your post.

LOL, well firstly my source code is probably not at all well written!

I am looking to employ a "real" programmer to completely rewrite my
application in the next few months though, assuming that someone doesnt buy
us! ;)

On the other hand if someone can either point me to a really good website,
or write to me "offline" and explain to me why open source is a good way to
go, and how I can protect my product from being stolen if I do put it open
source?

Re: My app - shameless plug :-)

2010-02-14 Thread John Denley
Id be tempted to ask Chris why he is asking the question, because if you are
trying to get an idea as to how long it takes to get a GWT/GAE application
up and running, its entirely dependent on how complex you are planning to
make your application.

As a slight benchmark, I knew nothing about how to write a web application
at the end of July last year and very little about how to program in java
(although I have dabbled, and have done a fair bit of C and VB programming
in the past). I started watching some of the videos from google IO 2009 back
in August, started coding in "anger" at the beginning of September and went
live with my first beta at a customer side with my application on November
1st. That customer is still using the system, we have 7 other beta testers
now, and we are just on the verge of going properly live any day now so
thats from NOTHING to live in less than 6 months!

Hi Cris, thanks!

To be honest, i've been working on a data historian for over 6 years
in one form or another. I always ran into problems with either
scalability or delivery. Always ended up having to tell a client they
needed to build a huge server to run my code - and i was just another
expensive historian.  It wasn't until the advent of cloud computing
that I was able to deliver the service.

I couldn't even begin to calculate how much time i put into the
compression algorithms, calculation engine and all of the things i put
into the back end and how much time I put into the app itself. Since
the hard part was done, it only took me two days to put together the
android piece, and about two weeks to create with the windows desktop
client. That's the great thing about SOA.

My app - shameless plug :-)

2010-02-13 Thread Benjamin
Hey Guys,

Well i'm pretty much ready to release my app engine / GWT app to the
world so i thought i would put out a quick post about the Beta to you
guys.

I've worked for 12 years in the process control / manufacturing
industry and I've done a lot of work with Data Historians - these are
huge systems that cost tens of thousands of $ - I always wanted a
small / cheaper data historian i could hook my Aquarium up to so I
made one.

http://www.nimbits.com is online and provides a service for
efficiently storing time series data (such as a changing temperature)
on App Engine. You can code against it as a service or use one of our
UIs. I posted a Windows Desktop App, An Android Interface, and a lot
of sample code on the web site.

As you feed time series data into data points, you can perform
calculations on the data, get email alerts, and see your changing
values in spreadsheets, diagrams and your phone.  There is also a
social networking aspect to it; you can share your datapoints with
friends.

Check out the website, it's all free - i hope you guys can get some
use out of it and as always, i appreciate any feedback.  I'd also be
happy to answer any questions if you'd like to know how any of the GWT
functionality was developed.

Here is a blog posting of mine that has some screen shots and more
info:
