ABSTRACT

The objectives of Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) on unit converter with health and
travel toolkit is to introduce an inexpensive way of getting information, a user
oriented devise built in with real time information and to enhance the existing
modules available on the PDA. This devise is meant for any Malaysian Windows
Mobile user who wishes to use the enhanced function for daily needs. Functions such
as unit conversion, BMI index calculator, menu planner, non- halal ingredients
estimation, toll fare calculator and travel dictionary are included in the toolkit to help
the user of the PDA more flexible and convenient in finding information. Objectoriented approach is used as a project methodology for this project. The Rational
Unified Process is chosen to aid in this application development based on the
capabilities of this approach in smoothing the object-oriented software development
process. Thus JavaScript is used as the core programming language together with
HTML, AJAX and ActiveX to achieve the objectives and methodology of the
project. Results from this application development is hoped to satisfy the user of the
PDA in terms of functions that are value of money.
