A cool place to know about Sun Abhishek Uppala

Hi all,

Last Saturday, I held a demo session on Introduction to Open Solaris. The session commenced at 6:15 PM with a participation of 17 students. The audience were less in number which was no surprise as most of them had already caught the End Semester Exam fever.

 Well, coming to the demo, it had gone exactly the way I had planned for it. I had got a chance to speak about Open Solaris evolution and also its features which make it more exciting for the students to use it. During the proceedings of the session, I had given an insight into the features such as DTrace,ZFS,Zones. I also assured that demo sessions for each of the feature will be held exclusively at the beginning of the next semester,

Audience, though little, were pretty involved in asking interesting questionos which made me tickle every bit of knowledge that I have regarding Open Solaris. At the end of the session which lasted for more than an hour, I had distributed OpenSolaris starters kit to all who were present and I am pretty much sure that they will start working on Open Soalris at the earliest possible.

Then came the most exciting part of the evening. The two teams of students (one team of 2 and the other of 1) had demonstrated the projects they had developed under the IcOSUG.

The 3 students who had developed the two projects.(From Left)Ankur Mawandia,Prateek Meharia and Sushil Verma

The first team of Ankiur Mawandia and Prateek Meharia had presented the basic GUI calculator that they had developed as a start up for their Java Learning.It includes the basic functionalities that can be carried out by any other calculator.

Next, the seconf team which consisted of only Sushil Verma had presented "Icfai Mathematica" which is also his start up project in Java. This mathematica had many features besides just computing the traditional calculations. It has standard values display. It aslo has conversions support. This mathematica can also be used for solving two dimensional linear equations. That was some good work by Sushil Verma.

Kudos to both the teams and I am sure we from IcfaiTech,Hyd will come up with more such projects developed.
