Ruby Conference

Hello everyone,
I have some good news – we’ve got a two day RubyConf India in the
planning stages, currently scheduled for sometime in Jan/Feb 2010. We’ve
spoken with Chad Fowler and he has confirmed that Ruby Central will help
us get this gig going. I’ve also got confirmation from Roy Singham, the
founder of ThoughtWorks that TW will back this conference as well.

More news as it comes, including requests for sponsors (yes, we will
need those) and requests for speakers to submit talk proposals, but to
begin with I’d like to solicit conference logos and home page templates
please; for examples, take a look at:
http://rubyconf.org/
http://www.larubyconf.com/
http://mtnwestrubyconf.org/2009/

If you are a graphic designer, or know one who’d be interested in
creating a RubyConf India logo, please do inform them.

I would request contributors to upload the images on the Bangalore RUG
files section at
http://groups.google.com/group/bangalorerug/files?hl=en-GB&upload=1 and
follow up with a mail linking to it.

Best,
Sidu.

Bangalore Astronomical Society

The Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium in association with BAS is holding it’s monthly “Know Your Stars” program at Planetarium, High Grounds on Saturday 11th of July, 2009. It would include a constellation familiarization session inside the artificial sky dome, followed with a line-up of telescopes (if skies clear out).I am really sorry, I am not sure of the exact timing, however it should be by 7pm. However, I would simply request all to be there earlier (6pm also could be good) so that we can catch up and discuss stuff. I have got the opportunity this time to be handling the program. Looking forward.

MoMob July Event 3G in India 25th Jul 2009

Dear ambatisreedhar,

Greetings!

The program is planned for the Saturday, 25th of July at the Indian
Institute of Management, Bangalore. The schedule is as follows:

10:30 AM   – Panel Discussion; “3G in India – A status check”
11:45 AM   – Tea Break
12:00 Noon – OVI – A SHOW & TELL from Forum Nokia

Register here: http://momob.eventbrite.com/

Annual Sponsors of MoMo Bangalore are mCHEK, OnMobile and Forum Nokia.

Half of the year 2009 has gone by and a lot has happened and expected to
happen in the Telecom space – Especially in India, with the imminent onset
of 3G and Wimax. What do such services hold as promise for the User ? What
kind of growth one may expect considering that India is already nudging
~400 million subscribers ? Will we see a churn of existing data
subscribers moving to embrace 3G ? Will 3G and Wimax be the cataclysmic
occurance that pushes INDIA into an orbit to achieve greater than 50%
teledensity ? And, what are Applicaiton Developers thinking ? What are the
available platforms to leverage ?

To seek answers to many such questions – Mobile Monday Bangalore has put
together an exciting half day event comprising a Panel Discussion on the
topic: “3G in India – A status check”

Followed by a SHOW & TELL from FORUM NOKIA on OVI! Forum Nokia will bring
out and share the success cases from around the eco-ssytem. As part of the
SHOW & TELL from Forum Nokia, we may look forward to some cool product
demostrations from some exciting startups as well!

 

With Regards & Thanks

ColdFusion meeting 9th july 2009

http://cfmitrah.com/blog/post.cfm/coldfusion-9-bolt-meeting-at-bangalore-on-july-9

Last day with Proteans

Today I completed all the exit formalities with Proteans ..the company which I loves more and which I feels like home.

 

The best company I come across in my 5 yrs of my software experience.

 

I really loved it .. enjoyed working with Proteans.

 

For joining Proteans I waited for 2 yrs.Then got the oppurtunity to join there.

 

I am specially telling thanks to Sudhakar and Prashant Singh who always listened my words and read my mails even in their busy schedules.

 

I met the best PM and the best architect. Thanks Prakash J and Sendhil. Really helped me in understanding the passion about technology.

 

Proteans gave offer letter to me on Jan 16th 2007 but I took nearly 2 months for joining Proteans.

At that time I bargained with that offer letter. Really my attitude is like that.

But now after working there my attitude has changed. Its trust and honesty matters. And the technology …

Yes Proteans built me both mentally and technically.

Thanks PJ,Sendhil,Murugan, Ashish Kakani,Venkat,Deepak Trama,Prashant Sharma for all your support.

Last 4 months I am at the peak of my career. Wrote articles on SharePoint,GreatPlains,CMS. Got good response on Sharepoint. More download.

I am not that much good in facing audience.But I gave session in Bdotnet.

I worked in CRM,GP,Sharepoint,3.5.

 

Last 15 days are really tough for me.

 

I couldnt able to digest atleast for 10 days.

 

I love technology. I love attending techical sessions. I love Proteans.

 

PJ and Sudhakar had taken interview for me 2 yrs back.

PJ said thanks to me for coming to the interview 30 mins. That day is Saturday and he is very busy with new project ClientProfiles.

I cleared that round. He asked so many questions starting from .net, wcf,wwf,wpf and then NUnit, and UML.

Then Sudhakar asked a question regarding SMARTCLIENTS.

I thought CEO round is like managerial round. I told something which is not fully correct. He told the reason when to go for smart clients.

Really impressed. After taking the offer letter I was very scared if CEO is this much technically strong then how the team members will be.. Thats why taken more time to join Proteans. I went 2 times to speak with PJ regarding the project before joining Proteans. 

I done a good job by accepting that offer. It has changed my life , my approach of reaching technology..

 

Thanks Preejith (HR) for giving this oppurtunity.

I got offer letter from Proteans

Actually that time I saved Proteans phone numbers and have not taken Preejith calls.I am doing bargaining with other companies.

But Preejith came in a new way.He told her friend from other company to call me.I took the call and told that I want more package

than Proteans.

I went to Proteans to meet PJ for knowing the project before joining Proteans.He told me nicely.

Preejith came there and told the above that I am not taking his call and looking for another offer.

Sorry.

Thanks Preejith and Proteans for a nice wonderful journey there for more than 2.5 yrs.

 

Got good friends : Mohan , Gaurav, Saai, Ashish Tripati, Shiddu, Deepak Trama ,

 

Thanks Srini, Sudarshan, Vikram, Sreejith for your support.

 

FOCUS is the mantra…

2. jQuery – the write less do more javascript library	300	Deepak Gulati, Lead Architect, Cricinfo.com	jQuery has gained tremendous popularity in little over two years. It aims to allow web developers to write clear, concise code that cleanly separates the behavior of a page from its design without having them fret over details of cross-browser Javascript development. With its formal inclusion into Microsoft’s Ajax stack, it is bound to become an important tool in an ASP.NET Web Developer’s toolbox. We’ll begin with a whirlwind tour of some advanced features of Javascript and then move on to using jQuery for: - Efficient DOM traversal and manipulation - Using a unified event handling mechanism across browsers - Increasing visual and functional appeal of your web-pages with special effects and plugins
3. MS SQL Business Intelligence with mySQL	300	Praveen Srivatsa, Director, Asthrasoft	Have your data residing on mySQL but want to leverage MS SQL server capabilities to build Business Intelligence solutions? Then this is the right session for you. This session looks at leveraging your existing investments in mySQL and leveraging the Reporting and Analysis Services from MS SQL server to extract data out from your mySQL data store to build meaningful dashboards. It looks at how we can integrate SQL Reporting Services and use SSIS to harvest the data from mySQL. It also looks at how we can replicate or sync data between MS SQL Server and mySQL to be able to share the relevant data across these databases.
4. Trouble Ahead? Know Your Project Warning Signs! How Successful Leaders Recognize and Deal with Project Warning Signs		Sanjay Dugar, instructor, ESI International	This session is run by ESI and provides detailed guidance on conducting project health checks, what warning signs to look for, how to find them and finally, when to pull the plug on a project.
