Material on Development and Implementation of Applications in Organizations

Introduction

Developing and implementing applications in organizations, such as bureaucracy, services, companies, and SMEs, is a complex process that requires a deep understanding of business needs and relevant technology. In this material, we will discuss the basic theory, creation steps, development flow, text visualization, and implementation examples using the Dart language and Serverpod backend.

Basic Theory

  1. Requirement Analysis

    • Identifying business and user needs.

    • Collecting and analyzing data from stakeholders.

    • Creating a requirements specification document.

  2. System Design

    • Designing the system architecture.

    • Designing the database.

    • Designing UI/UX.

  3. Development

    • Selecting technology.

    • Writing program code.

    • Testing and debugging.

  4. Implementation

    • Application deployment.

    • Data migration.

    • User training.

  5. Maintenance

    • Monitoring application performance.

    • Bug fixing.

    • Feature updates.

Creation Steps

  1. Requirement Analysis

    • Hold meetings with stakeholders.

    • Document the requirements in a specification document.

  2. System Design

    • Use tools like UML to design the system architecture.

    • Design the database schema using ERD (Entity-Relationship Diagram).

    • Create wireframes and UI prototypes using tools like Figma or Adobe XD.

  3. Development

    • Choose the appropriate programming language and framework (e.g., Dart and Serverpod).

    • Write program code based on the design.

    • Conduct unit and integration testing.

  4. Implementation

    • Prepare the deployment environment (e.g., server or cloud service).

    • Deploy the application using Docker or Kubernetes.

    • Perform data migration if necessary.

    • Provide training to end-users.

  5. Maintenance

    • Monitor application performance using monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus or Grafana).

    • Fix identified bugs.

    • Release feature updates periodically.

Development Flow

  1. Project Initiation

    • Kick-off meeting.

    • Assign project team.

  2. Requirement Analysis

    • Gathering and analyzing requirements.

    • Creating specification document.

  3. System Design

    • Architecture design.

    • Database design.

    • UI/UX design.

  4. Development

    • Coding.

    • Testing.

  5. Implementation

    • Deployment.

    • Data migration.

    • User training.

  6. Maintenance

    • Monitoring.

    • Bug fixing.

    • Feature updates.

Implementation in Dart and Serverpod

Example of Simple CRUD API Implementation with Serverpod

  1. Setup Serverpod

     dart pub global activate serverpod_cli
     serverpod create my_project
     cd my_project
     serverpod generate
    
  2. Design Data Model Create a file lib/protocol/user.dart with the following content:

     import 'package:serverpod/serverpod.dart';
    
     class User extends TableRow {
       @override
       String get tableName => 'users';
    
       late int id;
       late String name;
       late String email;
     }
    
  3. Create CRUD Endpoint Create a file lib/server/endpoints/user_endpoint.dart with the following content:

     import 'package:serverpod/serverpod.dart';
     import '../generated/user_class.dart';
    
     class UserEndpoint extends Endpoint {
       Future<void> createUser(Session session, User user) async {
         await session.db.insert(user);
       }
    
       Future<User?> getUser(Session session, int id) async {
         return await session.db.findById<User>(id);
       }
    
       Future<void> updateUser(Session session, User user) async {
         await session.db.update(user);
       }
    
       Future<void> deleteUser(Session session, int id) async {
         await session.db.delete<User>(id);
       }
     }
    
  4. Run the Server

     serverpod run
    

Example Implementation in Organizations

1. Bureaucracy

Public Service Information System

  • Requirement Analysis: Identify services frequently requested by the public.

  • System Design: Create modules for registration, status tracking, and feedback.

  • Development: Use Dart and Serverpod for the backend, and Flutter for the frontend.

  • Implementation: Deploy on government servers and integrate with existing systems.

  • Maintenance: Monitor performance and fix bugs periodically.

2. Companies

Human Resource Management System

  • Requirement Analysis: Identify HR needs such as recruitment, attendance, and payroll.

  • System Design: Create modules for recruitment, attendance, and payroll.

  • Development: Use Dart and Serverpod for the backend, and Flutter for the frontend.

  • Implementation: Deploy on company servers and integrate with ERP systems.

  • Maintenance: Monitor performance and fix bugs periodically.

3. SMEs

Sales and Inventory System

  • Requirement Analysis: Identify needs such as product management, sales, and reporting.

  • System Design: Create modules for product management, sales, and reporting.

  • Development: Use Dart and Serverpod for the backend, and Flutter for the frontend.

  • Implementation: Deploy on servers or cloud services.

  • Maintenance: Monitor performance and fix bugs periodically.

Developing and implementing applications in organizations requires a deep understanding of business needs and technology. With the right approach, from requirement analysis to maintenance, applications can run effectively and efficiently. Using technologies like Dart and Serverpod can help speed up the development process by providing a strong and easy-to-use framework.
