To identify second and third generation software variables causing mobile apps and connector changes in the Kenya context; 2. To determine the influence of the significant second and third generation software variables in contribution to the changes in mobile apps and connector technology; and 3. To develop design and planning strategies in view of sustainable mobile apps and connector technological changes. PROJECT 3 UPDATE Project 3:
1 Project 3 (Second and third generation software, mobile apps and connectors) update: 23rd May 2018.
__________________________________________________________________________ Project 2: Update __________________________________________________________________________ Exploring with others on migrating first generation software primarily running on Microsoft Excel platform to initially second using Microsoft Access, Visual Basic or Java, and thereafter to third generations which would be mobile apps and connectors to other software or platforms, such as GIS and interactive CAD. Seeking joint ventures, partners and collaborators. Status: Ongoing, however difficult to measure progress as it is a learning curve. __________________________________________________________________________ Digital books __________________________________________________________________________ Building Science Text Book Series: Abstracts – January 2008.
