Solution

We at Volga Infotech met our client’s requirement by developing a website and an IOS based iPhone app as a solution for the above challenge.

The Website has been built and designed keeping in mind all the above mentioned features and requirements using Microsoft’s ASP.NET MVC Framework. The design is extremely user-friendly, packing in all the functionalities in a clean and sophisticated user interface.

We built a native application for iPhone, using XCode (Objective C) and used Microsoft Visual Studio (ASP.Net MVC 4 and WCF) for web services. After designing the UI at front end, developing the application and integrating the APIs, the end product proved to be the perfect solution for the client’s requirement.

A few of almost 140+ APIs, we used the following important APIs in the app:

• Facebook The user can log into the app by signing up using their Facebook account for their personal profile consisting of their pictures and the “About You” section that could be edited as per user’s wish.
• LinkedIn The user can sync with their LinkedIn account to reflect their professional profile including their professional roles in the past, their skills and their educational qualifications.
