SHARATH SAYS

My Days at Infosys.

2012-06-06T02:44:00.001+05:30

I joined Infosys Technologies Ltd. on November 28th 2011 as Systems Engineer. Like any other fresher, who was just out of his college days, I didn't have a clue about what Infosys was all about, or what corporate atmosphere is. All I had was the impression that all ITES companies like Infosys belonged to a class off companies that made their living out of the shitty brainless and monotonous jobs outsourced by Europe or North america. In fact I looked upon Infosys (and other IT companies) with much contempt and disgust much akin to that shown to his humble servant (who makes a life out of washing under wears from all over the world )by his aristocratic master (who happened to be a fresh Electronics & Communication Engineer). Well, the servant might be damn richer than the master here, but who cares! He made all of it washing under wears!

During my never ending wait for Nov 28th which lasted almost 5 months, I was busy renovating this blog, trying to learn some media-graphics tools like After Effects and Maya, scouring the web for what to do after B.Tech, sometimes applying for some Masters programmes with no expectation of studying at one ever, Facebooking, Sleeping and more Facebooking. Finally it seemed like I was bored with whatever I could think of to spend a day. It was so much that soon I was asking myself questions like "What is the meaning of this life...." and the sorts which probably should be happening after a few more decades.

Infosys Mysore was a turning point... no, this is not the turning point for the sake of my probably stupid article sounding good; it really did change some things in my life forever.

Infosys Mysore allowed me to have a glimpse of what professionalism is. Pretty sad that even after studying a 'professional course' in a 'professional college' I had to come here to actually feel it.

Infosys pampered me with lots of luxury care and friends all around. It is probably the best place in India to make friends, with people coming in from all states for their training.

And finally, the most important thing Infosys taught me was that I am capable of more.

More than what challenge the I.T sector would probably offer me... maybe not in terms of money, but still I felt that in the end I will be as bored as I was when I sat at home waiting for November 28th. During the initial months of training, I religiously stuck to GECs, reviewing the study materials and routines. But soon I found the whole thing to be too easy; I was even put in a fast-track batch that required good performance in the Generic Training sessions.

While I still admire the way some young entrepreneurs from India started a small company with almost 100$ and the way it grew into a billion dollar global enterprise, and the way Infosys 'cared' for its employees, there was always this lingering feeling in my mind that kept reminding me that none of this success belongs to me.... At Mysore, I was still doubtful about this queer feeling.
But when I came to Trivandrum (TRINFY) these doubts became proven facts. Infy never cared (and it could not; practically thinking) about the interests of the 'employee'... Many of the straight '5 point CGPA' trainees were assigned to the dreaded testing stream, and people who never wanted to work were put into 'hot technologies'... Pretty soon, the picture became clear before me

Infosys and the many other ITES companies are basically organisations giving engineers for hire... it doesn't matter whether this engineer likes to work in this field or that, or even whether he knows anything at all about the field is of little concern. This fact gains more significance when you add to it the fact that most of the work or the so called 'Projects' done at these companies are basically clerical jobs or requiring similar brain work. You don't do anything, no, you don't even think! As the funny chain-mail says, the whole IT employee community owes their livelihood to who ever invented Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.

I don't want to think further about what will happen to you sitting in front of a computer, going through code all day long, but it sure will strip you off whatever you gained in Mysore. (You'd gain some weight around the tummy for sure :D )

So when I got an offer from a University which I thought probably wouldn't even take a look at my resume, I just couldn't let it pass. Life is always filled with twists and turns... and for me most of it has been unexpected ones. But without them, I'd become as bored as I was, when I waited for that November 28th. :)
So, its time to bid adieu to Infosys although these memories of Mysore will always be close to my heart.....

FLIPBOARD FOR ANDROID LEAKED!

2012-05-12T19:32:00.002+05:30

Samsung had announced earlier that its latest gadget Galaxy SIII will have the Android version of the popular iPhone app flipboard.

Flipboard is a pretty app that collects the content of social media and other websites and presents it in magazine format and allows users to "flip" through their social-networking feeds and feeds from websites that have partnered with the company.

Originally designed specifically for the iPad, in December 2010, the application was updated to add support for the iPhone and iPod Touch. On May 5th 2012, it was announced that Flipboard would be released for select Android phones, beginning with the Samsung Galaxy S3.

It is produced by Flipboard, Inc., a United States-based software company founded in 2010 by Mike McCue and Evan Doll and headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

Unfortunately, the app was announced as Galaxy S III exclusive at launch, which meant the only way for you to get it is buy a Galaxy S III. Thankfully, though, one XDA user managed to extract it from the device and made it available to everyone right now.

NEW HORIZONS IN BUSINESS ANALYTICS.

2012-04-03T17:37:00.000+05:30

A new star is on the rise in the Data analytics horizon. Big guns who have monopolized the markets and ran the show the way they liked are now trembling before the sheer lightning-speed and performance of SAP HANA.

Short for High-performance Analytics Appliance, HANA combines a lot of what is “future technology” for its competitors, and SAP has done an excellent job pulling it off. In fact the entrance of HANA was so unexpected, even the competitors rolled out by Oracle and the lots are in no way a match for it.

SAP first announced its plans for working on in-memory databases at the SAPPHIRE conference in May 2011, and was immediately met with sharp criticism or rather sarcasm! Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, openly mocked SAP's goals during an event in January.

"Get me the name of their pharmacist," Ellison said at the time. "I mean, I know a lot about in-memory databases. In fact, we have the leading in-memory database, TimesTen. This is nonsense. There is no in-memory technology anywhere near ready to take the place of a relational database. It's a complete fantasy on their part."

In-memory databases store information in a system's main memory, instead of on disk, providing a performance boost. The technology, which Plattner also discussed at last year's Sapphire event, is now beginning to be reflected in SAP BI (business intelligence) products, such as BusinessObjects Explorer.

HANA is available in appliance form on hardware from a number of vendors. Built in part upon existing products at SAP, HANA places data to be processed in RAM, versus reading it off disks, which provides a performance boost.

SAP HANA runs on high-end commodity hardware and provided you have enough memory to run your database, it doesn’t matter what you run it on from a technology standpoint.

Initial certified hardware solutions are still quite expensive – I priced up a 1TB Dell system for $75k – not including disk storage, which will probably double that number at retail price, so think $150k. But really that’s nothing compared to what an equivalent 10TB database cost 10 years ago (SAP HANA compresses 10:1 compared to databases back then).

And worryingly for Oracle, Teradata, IBM and HP, it is nothing compared to what Mainframe or Teradata/Exadata hardware costs.

While HANA so far is positioned primarily for analytic workloads, SAP has long-term designs of porting its flagship Business Suite to the platform, a move that would provide an alternative for SAP customers currently running their transactional systems on databases from Oracle or IBM.

SAP had previously released a Strategic Workforce Planning application for HANA, which allows companies to analyze the effect of changes to their employee base. The new Smart Meter Analytics product will help utilities probe smart meter data for deep insights into customer energy usage patterns, allowing for improved system load forecasting, specialized marketing programs and other benefits, SAP said.

What does this mean for the future state of high-end systems? And in the emerging business world where the Big Data challenge is not just an isolated incident but a ubiquitous condition, is it not reasonable to expect that more and more customers will require more and more of these extremely high-performance machines?

REAL LIFE CASE-STUDYS

What does improved analytics speed mean for business? What is the value added to your business by pulling off super-fast reports and analysis from your databases? What if you could do cost and profitability analyses across millions of records spanning three years and thousands of retail outlets in less than 5 seconds—that is, in real-time—instead of in a few days? How would that change the ways in which you engage with customers, exploit the power of dynamic pricing, squeeze inventory volumes, and accelerate your moves into new markets?

How about a factor of 1,000: what if your systems could give you deep and granular insights into every phase of your business 1,000 times faster than they currently do—how would you exploit all that speed, all that customer-driven foresight, all that potential?

Only a year or so ago, all of these questions would have been largely theoretical simply because traditional IT systems and architectures were limited to delivering only incremental increases in performance, and gains of 25% or 35% were huge.

HANA enhances or rather expands old-school analytics in five dimensions. In the words of SAP executive board member Vishal Sikka, these are:

1)Are we able to ask complex questions? This, Sikka said, means that value is unlocked not merely by crunching through the same numbers more quickly than before, but by “going deeper”: analyzing more records over more time with more variables, and getting answers hundreds or thousands of times faster.
2) Can we ask an unlimited range of questions without having to submit them in advance? Current systems require some preliminary staging of anticipated data sets, which greatly limits the types of questions that can be asked and, more importantly, the types of insights that can be gained. HANA, Sikka said, has no such limitations.
3) Can we interactively arrive at questions? In the old model, a limited set of questions is submitted to an expert who then triggers the analysis in isolation—conversely, Sikka is describing an entirely new dynamic that allows multiple people to look at and question the incoming results on the fly from an unlimited set of perspectives.
4) Are we able to ask questions across data sets that are not only huge, but come in various types: structured and unstructured, month-old and real-time? With absolutely no limitations?
5) And, can people from across the organization—not just BI black-belts—make these interactive inquiries in real time and get real-time answers? Can businesses finally unlock the potential and power within their data that for too long have been trapped in traditional systems that, intentionally or otherwise, give higher priority to internal processes than to customer requirements?

It all depends on which of these dimensions you chose to exploit, and how you go about doing it.

“Our friends at Colgate told me that with their live Hana system, they are now able to run some operational reports 1,000 times faster than before,” said VishalSikka during his keynote speech at SAP’s China SAPPHIRE NOW event in Beijing. The list doesn’t end there.

Nongfu Spring, a rapidly growing bottled-water company based in China whose use of HANA has enabled it to cut its calculation of transportation costs from 24 hours to 3.8 seconds, or more than 15,000x.

Even more astounding is the achievement of is Yodobashi, the electronics retailer in Japan, where 5 million of its 22 million customers are part of the company’s loyalty program. The calculation for rewards and incentives earned by those 5 million loyalty-club members used to take 3 days—but with HANA, it now takes 2 seconds. That’s an improvement of 125,000 times!

As a result, Yodobashi can now engage immediately and more intimately with those 5 million loyalty-club members while they’re still in the store and more likely to buy, which is a massive transformation in how the company can enhance its interactions with its best customers in real time.

“Yodobashi hits 3 of the 5 dimensions we have laid out,” Sikka said, “so just imagine what can happen if a company is able to execute across all five dimensions.”

In short term, we can see IBM posting higher profits from its mainframe sales, HP is in all sorts of organizational troubles and Oracle is focusing on Exadata. But the Mainframe market is set to start tailing off by 2015. Oracle already has an in-memory product called TimesTen in developement, but it is highly doubtful if it will be able to compete with HANA. As for Teradata, they need to realize the big challenge posed before them.

CAREERS IN IT:PATHS AND PROFILES

2011-11-24T11:32:00.001+05:30

Ever since India made its appearance on the entrepreneurship map with call centres and tier-B software outsourcing companies, IT or information technology has been the buzzword for the technical student diaspora of India. IT has remained the largest employing sector for the millions of engineering graduates India spews out every year. There has been lot of speculation about this field with the recession throwing people out of their jobs, and the media celebrating the loss of IT's boom and lustre and all. But speculation is one thing and facts are another. Before planning your career in IT, you need to know what the game is all about, and have a bigger picture about where things stand.

The dominance of the IT job market is due in part to numerous factors, including the continued explosive growth of the Internet and e-commerce, lower hardware and software prices allowing more companies to upgrade their technology, increased demand for information security specialists due to the amplified severity and sophistication of malicious software and cyber-threats, the advent of smarter applications enabling companies to analyze data and develop business intelligence and the dawn of the mobile computing era.

In this article, let us take a look at the most popular and paying careers in IT, and the path to reach there, as well as how these job environments would feel like. It is important to clearly identify your career objectives, and develop a learning plan with the necessary skills, degrees, and IT certifications to keep your competitive edge and achieve your goals.

INDIA INNOVATES: SOME OF THE BEST INNOVATIONS FROM INDIA IN RECENT TIMES

2011-11-23T12:52:00.001+05:30

The Indian technology industry got its start running call centers and doing low-level IT work for western firms. Then, in the 2000s, it started taking on higher-level IT tasks, offering management consulting services, and performing sophisticated R&D. Now there is another transition happening, one far more significant: a transition to development of innovative technology products. Instead of providing IT services as the big outsourcing companies do, a new breed of startups is developing high-value products based on intellectual property. The Indian industry group NASSCOM estimates that, in 2008, the country’s software product revenues totaled $1.64 billion. It forecasts that this will grow to $11 billion per year by 2015. -Vivek Wadhwa (TechCrunch)

Here are some of the hottest innovators from India and their story.

K. Chandrasekhar of Forus Health.
Chandrasekhar learned that that the vast majority of the 12 million people in India who are blind could have maintained their sight if only their problems had been diagnosed and treated on time. The diagnostic equipment for a single hospital cost at least US$60,000—which put it out of the reach of most regional clinics—and required ophthalmologists to perform the diagnosis. Chandrasekhar and Forus cofounder Shyam Vasudev decided to leave their jobs as senior executives at NXP Semiconductor (an offshoot of Philips) to create an affordable, all-in-one, intelligent pre-screening device that is non-invasive and can be used by minimally trained technicians in rural India. The device provides an indicative report in 10 minutes for five major eye-related problems, including diabetic retina. This frees the doctor up to treat patients rather than administer tests. The product costs less than $15,000, and Forus expects the price to drop to half that in volume production.

Ajit Narayananand (29 years)

Innovator of the Year

Ajit Narayanan, 29, exemplifies the spirit of innovation in India. Toiling for a few years at a startup, Invention Labs Engineering, incubated at the IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Madras, Narayanan has developed an alternate communication system for millions of people who remain incommunicado with the society due to their disabilities.

Avaz

Avaz, (voice in Hindi) is the tool which uses a variety of software and hardware to provide a voice to these muted millions using just their muscle movements.

There are an estimated 10 million people in India who suffer from speech impediments. They may not have speech but they have a lot to say. And they can benefit from Narayanan's device. AVAZ is a communication device for people with speech disorders such as cerebral palsy, autism, mental retardation, and aphasia.

Avaz works by converting limited muscle movements, such as head or finger movements, into speech. His invention broadly falls under the category of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) technologies.

Alefia Merchant (32 years)

Humanitarian of the Year

Novel method of screening for eye disease in children under the age of five.

An estimated 1.4 million children in the world are blind and 90 percent of them are found in developing countries. In India, these children often face a lifetime of disability.

Poor vision affects every aspect of their lives - economic, social, and psychological. Ultimately, it undermines their function and acceptability in their families and in society.

If children with visual disabilities were detected sufficiently early, approximately 40 percent of such cases could be prevented or treated and the remaining could be rehabilitated to minimize the child's handicap.

In India, there are many hurdles in detecting, diagnosing, and treating such children. There is no organized screening program focused on identifying children under the age of five for sight-threatening eye conditions. The World Health Organization reports the lack of adequate community-based, primary-care screening programs as an important barrier to improvements in current morbidity and mortality rates due to eye-related diseases.

A novel method for eye-testing

Third year medical student at University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada, Alefia Merchant has developed a novel method of screening for eye disease in children under the age of five.

Merchant developed the method during September 2009 till June 2010 as part of her community pediatric ophthalmology project at the Narayana Nethralaya Postgraduate Institute of Ophthalmology, Bangalore, Karnataka. She was the co-investigator of the project along with Ashwin Mallipatna who is consultant pediatric eye surgeon at Narayana Nethralaya, Bangalore.

Merchant's method exploits existing, low-cost, and readily-available digital camera technology to photograph a child's eye for signs of vision-threatening disease as an alternative to standard medical technology in current use.

System to detect gas leakages - RoboticWares, Bhubaneshwar

Passionate to innovate, Gautam Kumar has developed a system that detects leakage of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and sends warning messages to people connected with the device over their cell phones. He calls the device Suraksha which means "safety" in Hindi.

Kumar along with his cofounder Kushal Nahata got the idea to develop the device when he read about a gas leakage accident in Bhubaneshwar in which a few people lost their lives. "The incident reminded of a similar but bigger accident that occurred near Kushal's parents' house in Chandni Chowk, New Delhi, a few years back," recalls Kumar. The duo immediately felt the need of an alarm system which could warn people in time to save lives or even avoid such hazards before it is too late.

The device from Roboticwares is based on the olfactory kind of sensors which enables an intelligent machine to detect a certain type of smell and based on preset rules perform the actions which are programmed in it. Kumar's Suraksha can be configured to communicate with a maximum of five people by registering their cell phone numbers on the device.

Improving software quality using automated verification

Microsoft Research, Bangalore

With software becoming all pervasive in our daily lives, it must become all the more reliable and shouldn't crash or behave unexpectedly. And the way to address this is through automated verification of programs.

Though automated verification can significantly improve the quality of software with little manual effort, the available verification tools have been used to test sequential programs. This is a concern as modern software is invariably concurrent.

The problem of automatically verifying concurrent programs is two-fold: one has to explore different inputs to the program, and also explore different interleavings that happen between threads in the program for each input.

Akash Lal's work shows that verification of real-world concurrent programs is possible. His innovation bridges the worlds of sequential and concurrent programs.

Akshay Shah (29 years)

iWeb Technology Solutions, Mumbai

A business process management generator which can create applications on the fly.

While working in Pune for enterprise resource planning software maintenance and support, Akshay Shah realised that the popular ERPs available in the market were very complex in nature.

He felt the need to develop a software which could churn out on-demand and cost effective applications for business process management. He developed a software platform called AgileWiz, a short form of agile wizard.

The Agilewiz technology is based on the concept of platform-as-a-service which can build fully functional application modules by feeding appropriate metadata as input.

The Agilewiz has a business rules management system (BRMS) which ensures that implementers do not have to repeatedly rely on software principals for critical but necessary customizations of the product.

Shah says that the platform has been designed from ground up and is technology independent. Any ERP, e-governance, hospital management, or a payroll application can be developed quickly using Agilewiz.

Deepak Ravindran (22 years)

Innoz Technologies, Haryana

A mobile based search engine to deliver information on any topic.

Deepak Ravindran calls it the "instant cup of knowledge". His mobile based service, SMSGyan, promises information on almost any topic to the user on his mobile phone without asking him to click on any link.

There are a host of services existing which would give users information on certain topics on their mobile phones but most of these are either limited to a sector, such as railway enquiry, or they send links to the user's mobile phone asking the user to click on them to access desired information.

Such services have not become very popular with the vast majority of the people because they don't have GPRS connection on their mobile phones or the connection is weak. Though India has almost 700 million users today, the smart phone penetration still remains very low.

Gyan means "knowledge" in Hindi, and the SMSGyan provides myriad information services which include dictionary, encyclopaedia, job search, health, stock market, and more via text messages.

The idea was seeded when one day, Hisam, one of the founders of Innoz Technologies, was in transit and wanted to know the meaning of a word and found that his basic phone was of no use to get the information. Since the phone had no application and no Internet connection to go to a dictionary and enquire, Hisam had to do without knowing the meaning.

"This kind of a thing has happened to each one of us and it can be frustrating," says Ravindran. The team then sat down to put together an answer engine which would give users answers to various kinds of queries from anywhere at any time.

The SMSGyan platform can work with any number of databases or resources. It delivers mobile-optimized results. These text results support upto a maximum 500 characters of information across all operators in India.

A user would have to type an SMS with the keyword GYAN followed by the query and send it to 56161. For example, to know the stock price of Infosys, a user would have to type "GYAN Stock Infosys" and send it to the specified number.

Aishwarya Lakshmi Ratan (29 years)

Microsoft Research, Bangalore

A hybrid paper, pen, and digital slate solution for a low-cost digital record management system.

Technologies that exist today either require users to use a digital pen and a digital slate, which are not very user-friendly, or they require users to digress totally from pen and paper to a personal digital assistant or a computer-based interaction.

All of these technologies are expensive as compared to a pen and paper medium. And therefore, such technologies have not taken off in countries like India where the masses are still comfortable using pen and paper to write in their regional languages.

Aishwarya Ratan has come up with a low-cost digital system which lets the users have the convenience of using a normal pen and a plain paper to record data and instantly store it in the digital form.

This solution has been piloted with self help groups (SHGs) who microfinance and maintain records of each person's savings and loans. Conventionally, the data was recorded at a site on papers and it was later converted into digital data.

Aishwarya's team chose a low-cost digital slate and pen prototype device that allows handwritten entries, made with the pen on ordinary paper forms placed on the device, to be instantly digitized.

Harit Soni (27 years)

Ecolibrium Energy, Ahmedabad

Smart grid technology to optimise the use of electricity in India.

Supported by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy of the Government of India, Ecolibrium is a smart-grid startup aimed at enabling consumers to manage power consumption in real-time. A humungous amount of electricity is wasted because of the lack of a feedback loop between suppliers and consumers.

India has a power deficit of 12 percent with almost 300 million people living without electricity. Transmission losses amount to 1.5 percent of India's gross domestic product. Harit Soni, founder of Ecolibrium Energy, opines that achieving energy efficiency is more cost effective and environment-healthy than setting up new power plants to fulfil India's power demands.

At Ecolibrium Soni has led the development of indigenous smart grid technologies. The smart grid is essentially addition of communication and application layers on top of the existing power transmission layer. Though smart grid technologies are available, India needs a customized solution to address the transmission and distribution losses.

EnNatura Technology Ventures, Delhi

Eco-friendly printing ink that reduces harmful emissions by almost 99 per cent.

The offset printing industry emits 500,000 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) annually into the atmosphere.

These emissions are huge contributors to global warming and are also detrimental to the health of millions of workers in the global print industry.

The major source of pollution is the petroleum components in such inks which are released in the atmosphere as harmful emissions during the drying and the washing processes of printing, causing photochemical smog formation and ozone depletion.

Printers who are exposed to regular emissions are in danger of acquiring respiratory ailments such as tuberculosis and even cancer. The current eco-friendly solutions available in the global market are either expensive or do not produce the same quality output as the widely-available petroleum based inks.

Krishna Gopal Singh, chief technology officer of Ennatura Technology Ventures, Delhi, has formulated a biodegradable printing ink which is mainly composed of the resin, the solvent which is used to dissolve the resin, the color pigment, and additives.

Singh and his team created a functional resin from renewable feedstock so that all the chemical reactions involved in the printing process don't result in emission of volatile organic compounds.

This particular kind of resin is pH-sensitive and the inks formulated with it print well with mildly acidic fountain solutions used in lithography printing.

Manav Bhatia (32 years)

Alcatel-Lucent, Bangalore

Securing the Internet service provider's routing network.

Routing in the Internet is a very complex task and routing protocols play the key role in ensuring that Internet works in a sane way.

And Manav Bhatia's security and authentication algorithms help in making the routing protocols more secure and less susceptible to attacks, such as Denial of Service (DoS) or traffic redirection, so that data transfers happen seamlessly over the Internet.

Having spent a considerable amount of time studying and working in routing protocols, Bhatia started noticing that protocols were not as secure as they were always thought to be.

He looked closely at how these protocols used the cryptographic authentication mechanisms and saw vulnerabilities in almost all the popular protocols deployed in the service provider and enterprise networks. Bhatia worked on the mechanisms that were defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards and fixed the vulnerabilities.

The IETF is a global community of network designers, operators, and researchers responsible for producing technical specifications for the evolution of the Internet architecture and smooth operation of the Internet.

WHAT TO DO AFTER B.TECH: SCOPE OF SHORT TERM COURSES.

2011-11-22T20:16:00.001+05:30

Soon after B.Tech, starts the endless search for short cuts to landing a job. As India keeps churning out engineers by the lakhs, students find it harder everyday to get into a secure job.

On the other side there are reports that say India is always having a shortfall of skilled hands and good engineers...and then there are your parents and neighbours who keeps reminding you everyday, that you still haven't got a job.

The most important thing a jobless student in such a situation (I guess all of us will have our share of this 'time') shouldn't do is lose hope. And there is no use sitting idle in front of Facebook at your home. Because as days pass you will shrink into your comfort zone and will be becoming less of an engineer everyday. So its very important that you stay positive, and active.

SHORT TERM COURSES: THE MYTH AND THE TRUTH.
Ok, I guess you reached this page searching for "short term courses after B.Tech". Since I am an Electronics guy, I will be talking from the point of view of one, but still I am sure others can also pick up something.
The first thing is that there are short term courses and then there are certifications (short-long? depends). A short term course is usually a set of classes and lab sessions offered by a private institute, that may or may not be good. A certification on the other hand is usually offered by a recognized institution, industry leaders etc.

MYTH1: Short Term Courses/ Certifications Guarantee you a job : FALSE
As the old saying goes, there is no short cut to success, and no short term can land you a 6 figure salary. Short term courses familiarise you more with new technology, or a platform. Your performance ALWAYS depends on how hard you work and how good you get at the job, and finally, how do you convince people to hire you?
It is how good an impression you make that counts more than your certifications. Certifications just pit you a cut above the rest of 'freshers'.

MYTH2: Short Term Courses will land me a job in Core sectors : FALSE
I have seen many students who always want a job in 'core sector'. Some of them are so damn stubborn, even when their aggregate suggests otherwise. Well, all I have to say about them is wait....and keep waiting. Seriously, I do not expect Electronics and Communication engineers like you and me who cannot repair your home T.V in a real life situation, to be speaking about 'core'!
Another probable revelation (if you still haven't found out) is the fact that most of the electronics jobs in core sectors like embedded, VLSI etc, involve a lot of coding; so much so that your job experience is going to be somewhat like that of a programmer. Electronics engineers use lots of design tools to do their job at these places, and they don't write down things and solve mathematics sums to develop new chips!

Now, about the different sectors in which short term courses are offered.

1) NETWORKING
No its not social networking, but its all about the Computer Networks paper you probably had in 7th or 8th semester and more than that, cisco's routers. Popular networking certifications are of course CCNA,NP, and IE. The advantage of networking is that comparatively larger number of people are required in this sector today than embedded or VLSI.

2) EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Training program in Embedded Systems Design extensively covers embedded C programming, OS concepts, Linux internals, ARM7 based microcontroller architecture and 8-bit RISC and CISC architectures. The RTOS covered are mostly vx works and Embedded Linux. Students passing out of this course are supposed to come out with a strong command over embedded systems programming concepts. This sector is still in its early stages in India, but every now and then promising movements are seen in industry, like some Indian companies like Wipro foraying into ES.

BOTH Networking and Embedded can be handled with a little more effort by Computer Science and EEE, and Instrumentation students also.

3)VLSI

Twenty-five years ago, Texas Instruments (TI) spotted India's rich talent pool and became the first multinational technology firm to establish a research and development center in India. The operation started small, creating software to automate chip design, but has grown to become the company's largest R&D center outside the United States, designing chips end-to-end.
In recent years, TI has looked to India with new eyes -- as a market for its products. It has opened several sales and support offices, even in such smaller cities as Nashik (in Maharashtra) and Coimbatore (in Tamil Nadu). "We see India as a big growth market," says Biswadip (Bobby) Mitra, president and managing director, TI India. "It has important top management attention, and we are betting big on it."
Over the years, global chipmakers including Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom and NXP, and electronic design automation firms such as Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys have established a strong R&D presence in India. They, too, now see India as a market.

That said, it may still be hard to find jobs in this sector as far as freshers are concerned, as this is real, hardcore electronics, and employs lesser manpower.

I have compiled a list of institutions offering such courses in another post. Click below to view this list. I am not affiliated to or do not advocate any specific one of them, but still I think it might be helpful. The list gives info on Automation, Digital Signal Processing, and Communication Courses also.

After Steve Jobs: About Dropbox and its whiz-kid creator Drew Houston.

2011-11-22T09:19:00.001+05:30

Dropbox founder Drew Houston is an MIT graduate. But what sets this young entrepreneur different is the fact that when Steve Jobs made an offer that he couldn't refuse to buy his intelligent creation, he turned it down without a second thought!

"I mean Steve friggin' Jobs," quips Houston, who is now just 28. Dropbox is the creation of Drew Houston, and it tries to solve one of the oldest problems the Internet has ever had: How do I access all my files from anywhere I go, no matter what device I am on? Simple it may sound but the statistics of growth for this humble startup is simply startling. The 50-million user figure was only one-third that a year ago, and the revenue is set to hit $240 million in 2011, despite 96% of its user base being free users! Even if Houston is reluctant when it comes to revealing margins, we know this much: the 70 employee team that runs Dropbox, most of them engineers, generate three times more revenue per employee than even industry hulks like Google.

Statistics must be Houston's favourite because they also predict, that the 96% free users are filling their 2GB free accounts at scorching speeds and will soon upgrade to 50GB for $10 a month or 100GB for $20. This means even if no user signs up newly in 2012, his sales will double! "But we will sign up many, many customers". Dropbox has become a verb and has joined the many recent additions to the vocabulary like 'twittering', 'e-mailing', you can now, "Dropbox Me"!

Born in suburban Boston, Houston's father is a Harvard trained Electrical Engineer and mother a high-school librarian. His mother had the intuition that her son is geek material when he started tinkering with an IBM PC Junior at the age of 5! She promptly made him learn French, made him hangout with friends, and never allowed him to skip a grade. At 14 Houston signed up to test online games and was soon rooting out security flaws. The company soon hired him as their network programmer. He worked at startups throughout his high school. Dropbox is his sixth.

By his freshman year at MIT, Houston had largely become what his mom feared most- he was churning out code big time. He was finally convinced by Daniel Goleman's "Emotional Intelligence" that Intelligence was not all that counted if he was to run his own company. "No one is born a CEO, but no one tells you that" says Houston. “The magazine stories make it sound like Zuckerberg woke up one day and wanted to redefine how the world communicates with a billion-dollar company. He didn’t.” He then went for an MBA or “a crash course in project management and getting people to do stuff for you.”

The idea of dropbox was conceived three months later when he was travelling to NY; having forgotten his USB drive he was left with no code to work on. Frustrated and challenged, he then set to write code for seamless synchronisation of files across different platforms, and voilà, four months later he was flying to San Francisco to meet Paul Graham of Incubator Y Combinator, who would later fund his startup.

Impressed by his innovative idea and work done so far, Y Combinator promised funding but insisted he have a co-founder before submitting application. Houston had two weeks; enter Arash Ferdowsi, son of Iranian refugees, studying Computer Science at MIT. After their getting together, Ferdousi dropped out of MIT with just six months to go! With the $15000 from Y Combinator, they could rent an apartment and buy a Mac. Houston and Ferdowsi spent 20 hours a day trying to reverse engineer and make their application fit on Mac.“Devices are getting smarter—your television, your car—and that means more data spread around,” says Houston, “There needs to be a fabric that connects all these devices. That’s what we do.” Months later, they presented Dropbox at Y Combinator meeting, and from then on there has been no looking back!

Houston and Ferdowsi spent the next year pulling all-nighters. They were perfectionists. One time Houston had to track down a copy of Windows XP for Sweden because it had a unique coding quirk that was stalling Dropbox slightly. Ferdowsi had a designer spend hours tweaking the shade of Dropbox’s button inside the file system on a Mac. It was a touch darker than the Apple buttons, and it drove him “crazy” for weeks. “I am the gatekeeper here,” says Ferdowsi. “Everything has to be just so.”

It was at one of his meetings-over-lunch that he realised how big Dropbox has become. While explaining the concept, someone at the table said, “I know, I use it all the time.” Rather than a tech CEO, his drinking buddy was rapper Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, who told Houston he used Dropbox to collaborate with producer David Guetta on the hit “I Got A Feeling.” Such anecdotes now pour in. After his laptop crashed during final exams one law student wrote in: “Without Dropbox I would have failed out of law school and be living under a bridge.” A watch design firm just outside of Venice, Italian Soul, uses Dropbox to create new pieces with a designer in Mendoza, Argentina, the hulking 3-D files living painlessly in the cloud. Haitian relief workers kept up-to-date records of the deceased and shared those names with Miami and other cities. Professional sports teams inventory videos of opponents’ plays, accessible wherever the team is playing. Last Thanksgiving even the shadowy Ferdowsi, donning a Dropbox hoodie, was mobbed by star-struck teens in an arcade in Kansas City, his hometown. “That’s when I knew we’d hit it,” says Ferdowsi.

As for now,Houston’s estimated 15% stake is worth, on paper, $600 million.

WORLD'S MOST SUCCESSFUL YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS

2011-11-21T17:18:00.001+05:30

Who wouldn't like to have a life like these people, who are the lucky few who struck gold at their very ripe young age. Many of those faces on this list must be familiar to you, as you may have used their products in your everyday life one way or the other. Some of them may be totally strangers to you but still you WILL be dropping your jaws once you read about the success they made with simple ideas that solved complex problems. That said, let us begin with our very own Facebook inventor Mark Zuckerberg, who actually, tops the list!

Name: Mark Zuckerberg

Age:27
Networth:$17.5 billion.
Zuckerberg began using computers and writing software as a child in middle school. His father taught him Atari BASIC Programming in the 1990s, and later hired software developer David Newman to tutor him privately. Newman calls him a "prodigy," adding that it was "tough to stay ahead of him." Zuckerberg also took a graduate course in the subject at Mercy College near his home while he was still in high school. He enjoyed developing computer programs, especially communication tools and games. In one such program, since his father's dental practice was operated from their home, he built a software program he called "ZuckNet," which allowed all the computers between the house and dental office to communicate by pinging each other. It is considered a "primitive" version of AOL's Instant Messenger, which came out the following year.

OCCUPY WALL STREET SPILLS OVER THE WORLD!

2011-10-16T15:42:00.001+05:30

'INDIA is a rising superpower' says the alternating governments that have ruled the place ever since independence. Now, what really makes India the next big thing is that if India continues its recent growth, average household incomes will triple over the next two decades and it will become the world’s 5th-largest consumer economy by 2025. Over the next two decades, the country’s middle class will grow from about 5 percent of the population to more than 40 percent and create the world’s fifth-largest consumer market. (study by the McKinsey Global Institute )

India has always been like that. Before the internet, practically every 'advancement' in the western world (FYI, 'western world'= the USA for almost all average Indians) took at least 20 years to reach here. Like, even the P.C became a household item it is today, 20 years late. So the growth predicted to happen in the next 20 years, will bring us further growth of Indian Billionaires, Indian financial inequality, social stratification, greed at its pinnacle (they call it a consumer nation); and I tell you what, Indians wont have a clue what is happening!

Creative and progressive thought in India has stagnated with creation of the middle class, who are too afraid to risk anything. They always have this something that they are afraid they will lose if they think out of the box or even simply think, and they are never content with the something either. Hence they are afraid, even to have an ideology of their own.
In this India, pseudo-secularism and far right communalism are the two cards the rotten politicians play the most often (even so called communists!).
And in this India, the politicians and religion has spun a diabolic nexus that has kept Indians divided, and racing among each other, and this moment is when Indians needs a paradigm shift the most.

Hence the concept of a free human being in terms of the resource based economy needs to be propagated among the youth, before it is too late, for they are up for some hardcore indoctrination big-time....

PLANNING TO STUDY ABROAD?

2011-06-18T21:04:00.002+05:30

Many students have the dream of doing their M.S or M.Tech abroad after their B.tech in India.
The factors that make foreign education so much desirable are:

Better (best) quality of educational services.
Exposure to global cultures, corporate world, better opportunity for research.
Better lifestyle, better job opportunities and pay.
Prospects of migrating to a better country.

Here I will give an outline about how to plan and make your dream come true.

STEP1: Select the country.

As for now let us consider the U.S, U.K and Australia as possible destinations. The style of education and life differs much in these countries. But they can be seen as three categories of possible destinations.

U.S

U.S is home to the worlds best engineering universities. In most universities, classes are held 3-4 days a week. You can work for the rest of the time. (Subject to immigration rules.) This means you get lots of time to study as well.

U.K

U.K also has some good universities. But the educational system in U.K is getting highly privatized these days. U.K universities follow a much hectic schedule of 5 days a week classes from morning to evening. You can work in between if you can manage it.

European Countries.

Many European universities are at the forefront of technological education and research. But the problem with studying in one is that, they all conduct most courses in their mother tongue and its mandatory that foreign students take up the language as a paper during the first year of their studies.

STEP II: Starting the application process.

While you wait for the results:

Prepare for IELTS or TOEFEL.
Search for good universities and courses.
Talk to people who did M.S outside India.

As soon as your results are out, do the following:

Get your course and conduct certificates from your college.
Get the necessary transcripts (A transcript is a document from your university (not college) specifying the papers you had, your marks etc) from the university.
Get some good reference letters from reliable professors and other good contacts.

STEP III: Selecting your University.
MAKE USE OF THE FOLLOWING GUIDES FOR SELECTING YOUR UNIVERSITY:

TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION RATINGS : ENGINEERING
The Guardians University Guide for U.K

to be continued.....

Epic Browser Puts India on the Browser Map

2010-07-17T14:37:00.001+05:30

Hidden Reflex, an Indian software company, has launched a new “Epic” web browser for Internet users. The Epic browser is powered by Mozilla and has many interesting features that can enhance the experience of browsing the online world.
It is basically designed to fulfill the needs of all the users, who love to do many things at one place. Yes, the browser has a dedicated sidebar for multiple services that can be used while surfing the net.
The Epic browser’s sidebar is developed to provide feature rich facilities to the users. I tried the new browser yesterday, and it simply surprised me with its capabilities. Even though the browser is built on Mozilla platform and open software technology, it brings a new look and feel in user experience.
Social networking sites, top news service and word editor will give you a satisfaction of working on different tasks at one time. Now, you can also write in 12 different Indian languages on the browser itself using Indic Text feature.
The developers have included an antivirus software, NOD 32, in the browser. This antivirus software provides maximum security, malicious website warnings and anti-publishing protection.
For theme lovers, there are tons of free wallpapers and themes available to cheer up your mood. The EPIC browser has pretty much everything for everyone, but still it is not a perfect browser. The developers will have to work in some areas to make an impact on the world platform. It’s a good web browser and I would certainly recommend you to give it a try.
