Manish’s Scribble Board

Lots of developments have been going on of late. I dont even have time to blog on any of them. It has been a daily routine to leave room in the morning and return back around 11PM to sleep. Some of the most interesting events are MobiVision workshop, Rock’s placement, Rock On, RH MIT Campus Placement. Let me start one after another

MobiVision Workshop:

Its a special event in itself,only a few colleges in India have this kind of event. Its more into Mobile Programming. The two platforms being taught are Python on Symbian and Android from Google. The first day the turnout was more than 240 combining both the rooms. One room had Symbian lectures and other had Android. The Symbian part was a bit easy as python is a scripting language wheras Android is on Java which is complied language. The layout is to be designed through XML which is something quite tough to teach first timers. Three days have passed and hope this enthu is alive.

Rock’s Placement:

One of the most happening event of late. Our own Ankur Bansal got placed in CSC with a nice package. This was one of the most relieved moment as many of us were sceptial about his future. CSC made a heart winning announcement to pick up all 17 students who were shortlisted for interview.

Rock On:

One of the most exciting and awaited movie at this time. We had our PeP test on 31st and then headed straight to Aashirvaad theatre at Udupi. The hall is not A/C and it was really a tough job to sit for more than 2 hours in such a stuffy place. We watched the whole movie sweating and sweating. The movie was quite slow but awesome. Arjun Rampal’s acting as a failed guitarist stole the show. Kudos to Shankar Ehsaan Loy for their mind blowing music. All its music tracks are always on my lips

RH MIT Placement:

Racked Hosting visited MIT on 30th of August for posts of Designers, System Administrators and PHP Coders. The nearby college NMAMIT or more famously NITTE were also invited for the placement. The results were really depressing, such a horrible performance. They did return back without a single selection though two people did perform well, but still not considered upto the mark.
