Tech Revel

The IT in the title means 'Industrial Training' nothing else!! These days i am getting industrial training which is an important part of our engineering course.My college makes it compulsory for every student to obtain two months of industrial training. So i am getting it.....Although being a computer science student i think i should not be getting industrial training because we never work in industries. I mean the term 'Industrial Training' is o.k. for guys of mechanical engineering or lets say for electrical engineering because they work in real 'industries' with huge machines surrounding them. While for us, sitting in an air-conditioned room hardly feels like an industry to us!!!!Also the company offices and training centers of most computer science companies look like amusement parks to me!!




Although we do have to sometimes study in the college, it turned out that i was in possession of no such skills as are required for a trainee of computer science.That was because in the college we have studied only data structures and Java and both of these were not used by the company which offered me training!!! So i had to learn something and i still have to learn a lot to finish the project i have been assigned.

Meanwhile a lot has happened in tech arena-Microsoft is ready to launch 'Bing' which it has touted to be a decision engine. The decision of Microsoft to launch the engine has come with much fan-fare but we have to see if the Microsoft engine can ruin the Google party!!
Also Microsoft has released the Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2010 in the beta form. Technology enthusiasts can download the same for trail and enjoy the latest software!!
Meanwhile Yahoo has been forced to close down its social networking website 'Yahoo 360' '.The website never came of the beta-phase.This itself shows the lack of interest of Yahoo in entering the 'Social -Networking' area.On the other hand 'Facebook' continues to thrive and of late has become a favorite of my friends !! ....

More on these and others later..got to learn something for IT.
