Yogesh is out Employee #1, he has been with us since beginning of the company. His daily job is to keep Fafadia Tech happy. Right from cleaning, helping with supplies and making Fafadia Tech beautiful.
What everyone was surprised was the amount of talent this man inside of him. He hasn't completed his education, he can't write/read English fluently but when it comes to arts he will give you run for the money.

Android XMPP integration with Google Talk


Often mobile phone need integration to Instant Messaging services. Most of the modern IMs support XMPP. XMPP is pretty need considering big companies like Google and Facebook support it. For this android application we used Smack APIs. Would be cool to create a crowd sourcing application like advark for movie/restaurant recommendation .

Super Sales - Sales Performance Management on Android




Lot of times we had issues of missed follow-up, lost in track record of clients communication. And we didn't have any sort of CRM implemented. So we decided to hack up and app that will allow us to manage leads and our sales team. Right now its under testing, we plan to use Google Docs as backend as its free and require no special server provisioning this helps SME like ourselves. Cool feature with this app will be location integration, so visually you get an idea of what areas are covered. Where chances of sales are pretty high etc.

We don't plan to have comprehensive analytics, just the basic to get it right first and then iterate over it.

Introducing Hackage

Fafadia Tech is now on github, starting today we will be pushing more code on github. I would like to take this opportunity to officially announce Hackage. Hackage is collection of scripts that we would want to share with our fellow developers. With our first release of sms.rb, you can now send SMS right from command line.

If you are penny pincher, like most of us you know about 160by2.com its a site that allows you to group SMS your friends. With sms.rb you can send messages by simply

$jruby sms.rb mobile message

It has dependency on jruby and celerity (headless browser that has ruby interfaces). Have any suggestions/bug to report contact Colin Thomas (or CT as we call him) one of our Software Engineers.

Hack on, Fafadia Tech.
