Hi, Great JUG Leaders
I entered for a mobile app developer contest organized by Samsung Nigeria, which started last month.
They requested original apps be submitted for the contest and submissions were grouped into 7 categories.
I developed and submitted an app in the productivity tools category called 'Mobile Air', a JME client which connects to an Appengine hosted application. The app allows users store airtime recharge pins for later retrieval. Very good in situations where you can't find airtime kiosks or you are just too lazy to go out and buy. It compresses data sent over the internet so it costs very little on the users internet connection (most people are just beginning to get data plans here in Nigeria)
Samsung received a total of 62 apps across all categories, which they selected the best from and ended with 18 apps. Mobile Air made it! This means I'll get a prize for making the first round.
The second round requires users the world over to download and RATE the apps. That's why am telling you guys! I need you guys to please go to this link http://www.samsungnigeriaappscontest.com/app_home.php and RATE 'Mobile Air'. The only pinch is that Samsung requires you register before you can rate apps.
To me it goes beyond a contest, these are the little things that are required to advance application development in Nigeria and in the long run boost overall development.
So please follow the link http://www.samsungnigeriaappscontest.com/app_home.php, download and most importantly RATE 'Mobile Air'. You could also share with your friends on Facebook. It's open to all so please help encourage application development in Nigeria. You can rate any other app of your choice.
Thanks alot!Buls, AbujaJUG, Nigeria.

MySQL 9.6 Changes Foreign Key Constraints and Cascade Handling
MySQL is changing the way foreign key constraints and cascades are managed. Starting with MySQL 9.6, foreign key validation and cascade actions are handled by the SQL layer rather than the InnoDB storage engine. This will improve change tracking, replication accuracy, and data consistency, making MySQL more reliable for CDC pipelines, mixed-database environments, and analytics workloads.
