Development Methodology
  • Microsoft Dot-NET development tools

Development Methodology, Contd
  • Reasons, Contd
  • Server side controls

Development Experience
  • Two cases
  • Rewrite only portions of the entire set of
    screens of the original application
  • Develop new prototype

Development Experience, Contd
  • Develop a brand new application specifically for
    tablet PCs
  • Cannot take regular bulky app to run on smaller
    form factors
  • Sacrifice many program functions in order to fit
  • Can still keep most essential data items

8
Development Experience, Contd
  • Can make the screens in Tablet slightly bigger
    than those of other mobile devices, such as PDA,
    in order to take advantage of the slightly bigger
    form factor of notebook sized PCs

Practical Use
  • Targeted for providers walking around
  • Such as those in hospitals and clinics
  • Mobile vans may choose regular laptops with
    cellular connections in addition to Tablet PCs
