Abstract

The thesis presents how the business iPhone application prototype for managing task in the MG system works. The MG abbreviation stands for the project name. The Outlook plug-in at first glance looks like just another e-mail manipulation tool. It has an incoming and outgoing region, as well as the middle user region for tasks. Users can freely manipulate these tasks by dragging and dropping them between regions. The MG system helps users by highlighting the available target drop positions of the task. Based on this plug-in the iPhone prototype was developed. In the beginning the iPhone device is introduced together with the iOS operating system and the SDK for developing iPhone apps. The main part of the thesis describes the full working logic of the MG iPhone app prototype. The development of the prototype consists of the following modules: network, data, UI, entity and tools module. The modularity is introduced to help visually explain the logic behind this prototype. Described in the main part are also two ways of building UI and some samples of storing the app setting on the iPhone device. Almost at the end some problems and their solutions are described. The last thing is a description of the MG system’s server configuration.
