Updates on StressBust V1.0 and further plans

It's been a while I have updated about the workings at UBpine and StressBust on whole. StressBust application is nearing a release. I would like to see it coming out in sunlight(!) asap.
Let's talk about the new learning while working on StressBust.

I wanted to make a splash screen for StressBust which shows credentials for the software and all sort of thing. I used winform for the same. That winform gets hidden when the main window of the StressBust appears on screen. showDialog method will invoke main window.

To count the time and show progress bar during the break I used progressBar component which uses Timer eventually.
The toughest task was to make the application appear in the taskbar of the window. For that I used Hide method of the winform. More about this task in subsequent post.

About UBpine Inc, we are working on some cool technologies. The main development is in the Web vertical. Web is being more and more competitive space and you need to be always updated for latest technologies. For latest web and technology updates I generally read GoosPoos :: Web, Software and Indian Startups. A very good and regularly updated blog.

At UBpine, now a days we are working on iPhone application development. Let's see whether Apple will allow our iPhone applications on their app store.

For more updates keep watching this space.
Happy coding...!!!

Cheers
