The Table Seating App has changed only slightly through the course of the project. Some graphic details have been planned out a little more. Going through each lecture post, thoughts of how to keep the software protected from malware and the uses of databases within the app itself is extremely important. In order to keep track of all of the guests and their statuses and requests, everything will stem from a database to keep the information in line.
In order to make this app a reality, I would first need to truly look into the app market and decide if it is around the right time and how I would price it, if I would price it at first. Or if I put out a "lite" version for free and an upgrade fee for the full app.
Next, I would need to hire a programmer. This needs to be a person that can create the app the way I envision it. If the programmer cannot understand the way I want to convey each screen or the functions I want included, it would not work out.
Then I would need to register as a developer in order to be able to publish an app. Also understanding the guidelines of the market you want to infiltrate will help you move along in the process much faster. Once you have your programmer and your developer title, it is time to start making the app come to life and start the coding process.
Once coded, the app should be tested to eliminate all kinks within the current version. To put something on the market without being tested is not within best practices. To create an app to be published takes time and depending on who you hire to be the programmer money will vary. However, app making is still a very cheap way to make a lot of money. If you have an idea that you think will be something or can be something, it is worth taking a chance and seeing if it will do well.

Lecture Post
The Table Seating App is an app that will connect to all apple products and software can be downloaded to connect to computers using other operating systems. The app will allow for the user to create tables and seat specific people together as well as track guest responses to events. The app is mainly for use at galas wedding or large events. The app can be used by the everyday person and the ease of the app is it is portable and able to be used on IPads and IPhones.
Malware is software that attacks your computer to take information from the system and gain access to the system. Malware can be what is commonly known as a virus that attacks a computer to gain knowledge and to steal information. Malware also has the capability to affect the way the system runs.
Because the app is mainly used on Apple products, there will be less issues with malware than if used with a windows system. As mac becomes more popular, malware does exist that specifically targets macs however they have very specific paths needed in order to attack the computer.

Operating Systems
My entrepreneurial idea is an app that will allow for easy table seating and guest tracking. The software will create for easy control of where guests will be seated and who they will be seated next to. The app will tack who guests have requested to sit next to or who they cannot sit near. The app will allow the user to transfer data from IPads and IPhones to their computers and vice versa.
Windows and Mac are the two large operating systems that are well known and are more often taught. The others such as Unix and Linux are not as well known or used. Mac is more compatible with other apple products. Windows will be usable with my app however software will need to purchased outside of an app store while with Mac, the app is easily downloadable.
The operating system my software will be most compatible with will be Mac os x. This is due to the use of apple products such as Iphones and Ipads being the main user interface of the program. The ease of installing an app and transferring information between a Mac and other apple products makes this operating system the most user friendly.

The table seating app allows people to create a seating chart easily and place people where necessary. The app allows easy usability between devices and systems. The app will allow guest lists to be tracked and as guests reply they can be added to a table or removed from the table automatically if the chart has already been done.
Cloud computing is a way of storing information on the internet and not on present hard drive. The cloud allows users to keep information and be able to access it from anywhere in the world. Cloud computing is commonly used to backup information incase a hard drive is destroyed or crashes. Apple provides its subscribers with a certain amount of space on the cloud to use for free. There are also such utilities like S3 from Amazon that allow you to pay for space as you use it.
With my app, information would be easily saved to the cloud. As it is info will automatically be stored on the device however, users will have the option to backup their work on the cloud and access it from anywhere. My company would probably use S3 to store our files and company workings.

Competitive Analysis
My App will allow you to create a full event overview. You will be able to track your guests responses as well as place them at specific tables. The app will provide an easy way to organize the room and place tables and organize features in the room such as the dance floor and stage as well. The ability to organize space and guests all in one place and then export the files to another devices are just a few unique aspects of the app.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/seatingplanner+/id440347835?mt=8
Table Seating + is another app that can be used for seating guests and tracking their responses. You have the ability to choose certain table shapes and sizes as well as special meal requests. This program will also allow you to export lists into different files. With the Table Seating + you have the options of choosing to name tables and lock them once you like the seat placement.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/knot-ultimate-wedding-planner/id458116177?mt=8
There are no other seating apps but this app, The Knot Ultimate Wedding Planner allows brides to have a wedding day countdown as well as have various other features. None being a seating planner but they will soon be providing the ability to keep an list of those attending and not attending.
There are very few apps that allow seating to be done on IPads and IPhones. If looking at Table Seating +, I want to step it up. I want my new app to improve the seating process and make it convenient and easy. Wedding and other such events are stressful enough, The seating and guest list are two things that should be easily done and conveniently done.

Lecture Post 2
Entrepreneurial Idea
The table seating app will allow for easy room layout for galas and other such special events. Coordinating people to sit with each other or not with each other will be a main feature of this app. The ease of tracking responses to the events will be built right into the program and will provide the planner with all the necessary information from meal choice and connecting them to the other people in their groups.
Lecture Relations
The app will be created to work with IPads and IPhones. These will require the use of apple ios systems. There will be a component that will allow information to be transferable to a computer. This will take the use of video cards to supply an image as well as enough memory to keep the computer running fast enough to make the program run smoothly.
The computer components will allow for all of the pieces of each aspect of the application to come together and run efficiently. On the computer program, it will be necessary for the hardware to be more or less updated to ensure fast use and to make sure the program is running to the best of its ability.

Entrepreneurial Idea
The Table seating app is to be used to coordinate seating charts and details for galas, weddings, as well as casual events. The app will have features to make planning an event easier and potentially stress free. The app will be able to connect to computers and transfer information from IPad to IPad and computer to computer.
Lecture
In lecture we learned how to use excel. In this app, guest lists will be able to be exported into excel. To know how to properly sort and utilize this software will be helpful to ease the process of planning an event.
Using conditional formatting we will be able to color coat the responses. Green for those who are attending. Red for those who will not be attending the event. And finally yellow to those who have not yet responded. You will also be able to color coat and sort people by table and/or food requests.
The ability to use these functions will assist in the organization of the exported spreadsheets. Although the app will have its own easy to use functions. For those who need to receive a copy of the list and have not downloaded the app, they will be able to have an excel spreadsheet e-mailed or printed for them to utilize.

Entrepreneurial Idea
My concept is a table seating app. There are multiple programs available for your computer. However, in todays current technology craze there should be an app for your IPad. Along with the app for the IPad, you will be able to download an app onto your MAC for free. For PC users, software can be downloaded as well. When attending meetings with event planners or just for the ease of transport an app is an appropriate for todays world.
In this app the interface will be user friendly. The user will have the options to not only seat guests but use the app as a response tracker. There is one app called Seatingplanner+ however, this app does not provide all the necessary functions to easily plan an event. With the new app, there will be options to connect guests that must sit together or have requested to sit together. As well as functions to keep guests separated who cannot be seated near each other. Using the VIP function guests will be seated in the proper area of the room.
Users will have the ease of choosing from one of many templates to create place cards, labels and connect with the computer software. The ease of transferring information from computer to IPad or vice-versa will allow for friendly printer use and comfort for those new to IPad technology.
The user will have the options to place guests under his/her titles for weddings as well as define who's guests each person is for gala events. The user will have the ability to determine the table sizes and shapes. The options to place tables around the room or have them randomly placed give the user more control over their set-up. This capability will come from the ability to import the room dimensions into the program and set in a stage or focal points of the room. The final seating plan can be exported into an excel, numbers, or pdf file for the location or event planner. You can also export the plan directly to the planner's IPad using the app.
