The Vault Of Souls

Hi everyone! For my first blog on blogger( My first Blog this year!!) i'd like to share something which is very close to my heart and which ends its first year on 21st of this month ( BTW I have my business xam on the 22nd :-().

'DBC' or 'D Beginners Club' was started by us ( which includes Anupam, KD ,me and many more...) in our third semester to make the freshers , who were "beginning" ( ** origin of 'B' in DBC ** ) their lives in the ""technological world"" , comfortable with engineering ( this is only the official reason presented to the dean-CSE , there were many more less noble ones!!!). The first session took place on 21st august 2008, at CTV 104.

The first session we took was on ...'the wonders programming can do!!'( the first class was attended by 46 students)... . Subsequently, We had sessions on ' C ' . Once the Mid sems for I years were over , we had a session on 'Digital Film Making' and showed movies and videos made by us during DAKSH that year. The class was attended by a record 117 students. Then we had further sessions on 'C language' includng graphics,pointers etc and the response of the first years was encouraging.

As we entered the IV semester...we started off a bit late. We had our first session(that semester) on 'The journey of languages' which dealt with how languages evolved from low level languages to HLL's like C# and JAVA. After that we had our sessions on 'C++' and a session on 'Online programming in gcc( for DOPE)' before daksh. We also covered many latest technologies on the way 'CLOUD COMPUTING' , 'BRAINFCK' , 'CHEF-ESOTERIC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE'. The penultimate session was taken by anubhav(ECE dept.) on the topic 'STEGANOGRAPHY and MATLAB'.

We'll be having the last class on 21st of this month ( 21st , incidentally is the same date we had the first class) , the topic will be 'ALL YOU CAN DO WITH MICROSOFT'. We'll be giving an intro about various microsoft technologies like
- Windows 7
- IE8(which i am using nw!! and its gr8)
- AZURE
- PHOTOSYNTH
- POPFLY
- SURFACE
- Second Light etc.

Also, the MICROSOFT STUDENT PARTNER,SASTRA university natraj sir will be coming to our last session.He has been an inspiration and guide to us in everything. Hope all goes well on Tuesaday.

P.S I have mid sems from 15th....i hope they go well too!!
