BoardiesITSolutions.com

BoardiesITSolutions.com was published in 2010 and is my main development site that has free software available for download and news and information about any software that I have published either to my site or to the Android Market. There is also a forum available on the website to allow visitors to discuss software that has been published to BoardiesITSolutions or the Android Market. The forum can also be used to get advice about anything to do with technology. If you would like to view this website then please click here.

Boardies Password Manager (Android)

This app was released in February 2011 and published to the offical Android Market. It supports android 2.1 and up and supports multiple languages (English, French and German). The app allows the user to store all their login information for various websites that the user might use on the website. It stores passwords in an encrypted format within the built in database using AES encryption. It can copy the username and password to the phones clipboard which allows the user to paste the information into the relevant fields on a website. It also allows the user to create a backup of the store logins. When the backup is executed it creates an xml file on the phones SD card which can be used to restore the data back on to the phone should there be a need to.

Boardies Password Manager (Windows)

This software is the same type of software that was built for the Android Platform but is designed to run on Windows. The main difference is that the Android app only manages different websites logins where as the Windows version does websites and software. The data is stored in an embedded SQLite Database and all passwords are encrypted using an AES Encryption method. The software also allows online synchronisation to store the users data within BoardiesITSolutions.com website database. Enabling this allows the data to be backed up online, so should the software need to be reinstalled, when synchronisation is enabled, all the information is downloaded into the software again. It can also be used if the user has multiple computers then the information can be synched between all the computers that user is using. This software was written using .Net Framework 3.5 and C# programming language.

Boardies Download Manager

This is a website program for BoardiesITSolutions.com that enables me to add software that I have published to the site for visitors to the website to be able to download. The download manager will automatically upload the software to the FTP server and when a user clicks on a piece of software to be downloaded they will be shown a pop up which displays the description and the terms of the software. If the user then decides to downlad they will be taken to a page which allows the user to register for software update news. Once the user either skips the registration or completes the registration they will be taken to the download page which will increment a counter in the database table. The user can also write a review for the software. Depending on the configuration of the Download Manager the review won't be shown on the website until it has been approved. If the review needs to be approved then an email will be sent to the website administrator which will provide information about the review. The user can then decide to click a link within the email which will modify the database to show that the review has been approved, therefore it would be shown on the website.
