Unidev – Software Development

Archive for February, 2008

2007 saw continued growth and expansion of the web marketing and web design service lines of The Net Impact business unit.  The web development team went through a number of process changes over the year as staff was added. A new formal development methodology was implemented in conjunction with a new enterprise project management system. These changes allowed for much improved communications with customers and with other teams in the company. The Net Impact formed several strategic partnerships in the 4th quarter that will both expand the potential client base as well as significantly increase the sales efforts for the services.

The software development and outsourcing groups had the strongest growth for the Unidev business unit. Outsourcing development, production support and maintenance continues to be a strong and growing revenue contributor. The software development team primarily used .NET and J2EE this last year.  We saw very little demand for other technologies. An important goal for 2007 was to improve development methodologies and processes in order to deploy products more rapidly. The software group implemented a much improved enterprise project management system tool as well as organizational and process changes to successfully meet this goal.  

2007 was a year of significant growth and change within the company as The Net Impact became a fully integrated business unit. 2008 should be a great year as we continue to build and improve on 2007. For 2008 we will be working to increase our commercial applications integration services, developing new and improved technology solutions to web marketing and increasing our mobile applications development efforts.

Java – Find a given date belongs in which quarter:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
sdf.applyPattern(“MM/dd/yyyy”);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date processDate = sdf.parse(“4/10/2007″);
calendar.setTime(processDate);
Date date1 = calendar.getTime();
int quarter = TestDate.getQuarter(date1);
System.out.println(“Quarter for the date : “+sdf.format(calendar.getTime())+” is : “+quarter);
Prints the following Result :
Quarter for the date : 04/10/2007 is : 2

Java – Code for getQuarter() function:
public static int getQuarter(Date date) {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(date);
int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int[] months = { 3, 6, 9, 12 };
int count = 0;
do {
calendar.set(year, months[count++], 1);
Date tempDt = calendar.getTime();
if(date.compareTo(tempDt)
return count;
} while(count
return 0;
}

Java – Find previous quarter begin and end dates for a given date:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
sdf.applyPattern(“MM/dd/yyyy”);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date processDate = sdf.parse(“4/10/2007″);
calendar.setTime(processDate);
Date date1 = calendar.getTime();
int quarter = TestDate.getQuarter(date1);
String currentQuarterBeginDate = “”;
String fromDt=”";
String toDt=”";
if ( quarter ==1){
currentQuarterBeginDate = “01/01/”+calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
}
if ( quarter ==2){
currentQuarterBeginDate = “04/01/”+calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
}
if ( quarter ==3){
currentQuarterBeginDate = “07/01/”+calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
}
if ( quarter ==4){
currentQuarterBeginDate = “10/01/”+calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
}
calendar.setTime(sdf.parse(currentQuarterBeginDate));
calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, 3*-1);
fromDt = sdf.format(calendar.getTime());
String formmatedQuarterBeginDate = sdf.format(calendar.getTime());
calendar.setTime(new java.util.Date(formmatedQuarterBeginDate));
calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, 3);
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -1);
toDt = sdf.format(calendar.getTime());
System.out.println(“Previous Quarter Begin Date : “+fromDt);
System.out.println(“Previous Quarter End Date : “+toDt);

Prints the following Result :
Previous Quarter Begin Date : 01/01/2007
Previous Quarter End Date : 03/31/2007

Java – Find previous Date for a given date:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
sdf.applyPattern(“MM/dd/yyyy”);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date processDate = sdf.parse(“4/10/2007″);
calendar.setTime(processDate);
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -1);
String previousDate = sdf.format(calendar.getTime());
System.out.println(“Previous Date is :”+previousDate);
Prints the following Result :
Previous Date is :04/09/2007

Java – Find previous Sunday for a given date:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
sdf.applyPattern(“MM/dd/yyyy”);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date processDate = sdf.parse(“4/24/2007″);
calendar.setTime(processDate);
int dayOfWeek = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,-1*(dayOfWeek-1));
calendar.setTime(calendar.getTime());
String endDt = sdf.format(calendar.getTime());
System.out.println(“Previous Sunday is :”+endDt);
Prints the following Result :
Previous Sunday is :04/22/2007
