SUN lectures at COEP!

Tuesday Mar 20, 2007

OK. Now we're down to serious business. Of having fun that is ;-)

Guys from the Bangalore IEC (India Engineering Centre) will be visiting COEP to conduct a series of lectures. Here are the details:

Date: Friday, 23rd March.
Venue : COEP Auditorium, COEP, Pune. (Problems Getting there?)

9:30 to 10:15 - Introduction to opensolaris(Shantanu)
10:15 to 11:30 - Introduction to world of Java(Mayuresh)
------------- 11:30 to 11:45 Break ----------------------
11:45 to 12:30 - Open Solaris - A great platform for development and deployment(Sriram)
12:30 to 1:30 - Introduction to netbeans(demo) (Mayuresh)

Who all can attend?
You do NOT need to be a COEP student to attend. Anybody from any branch from any college (or even others) can attend. The auditorium can easily seat 500+, so we have lots of space!

Some points about the programme itself:

1. We'll try and make this as much fun as possible. Guys reading this, pointers please.
2. There will be no publicity propaganda. All the software we'll be talking about is open-source and thereby free.
3. There is no prior registration required. Just turn up!
4. For students from non-Comp/IT branches, there will be lots of interesting stuff to learn and absorb. We'll try and make this fun for people from all backgrounds. You DO NOT need to have an Comp. Sci. background to attend and enjoy.

I will also try and butt in at some point in time. Here are a few things that I will be bestowing upon the populace at COEP ;-)

1. Official Launch of the COEP OSUG. (The online page is nearing completion. Yay!)
2. Announcement of a project competition in Solaris and Java. (More details on this after the programme.)
3. Talking about the possibilities of internships at Sun.
4. Telling people about SAI.
