After SBCE life!!!
Actually, my life at SBCE had an end in July 2008 as I completed my degree course there.
After that i had to start from a blank position.
Had to wait long to find a job, but at last I found one at ACS. I joined there as a website designer and then changed to as a software programmer. My first ever project after the college days was developing an Accounting software for a Textile shop. I developed my software using Visual Studio C#.
Then I discovered my potential as a tutor. I had a hidden talent of teaching which was revealed during these days. I took classes for engineeering students on PHP language.
Right now I am doing some projects my own with an aim of studying different technologies. Right now I have experience in many technologies with which I have either developed completely or partially many projects.
The technologies which I am trying now includes C,C++,Java,JSP,HTML,PHP,VC#,ASP,Flash,Flex,Dreamweaver,CSS,Javascript...
And this point I would like to remember and thank some of my friends who have helped me in acheiving these things. They helped me either directly or Indirectly by corecting certain areas.
Arun,Jayakrishnan, Deepu,Renjith, Anu, Bijoy and many more.....
Thanks Friends
May GOD BLESS YOU ALL WITH GREAT GIFTS AND CALLIBER TO EXCEL IN LIFE
