On Saturday 28^th March 2009, DevNext organized a seminar with the title “E-banking Solutions in Pakistan”. The seminar started at 12:30 in the CIS Lecture Hall. The speaker Mr.Usman Madni from TPS gave an overview on the role TPS is playing for e-banking in Pakistan and abroad. Mr Usman explained about e-banking in Pakistan very thoroughly and discussed the working of 1 link, VISA Card, ORIX and other such technologies that have made transactions much easier than ever before.

The speaker made the seminar more interesting by giving practical life examples. The students participated in the discussion and Q/A session with great interest. At the end books of different technologies were given to active attendees of the seminar. The students felt the session very informative and interesting.

The DevNext team hopes to arrange more sessions like this with speakers who have expertise in their fields and outstanding communication skills.

On 7th February 2009, a workshop was conducted with the title “Introduction to PHP” for the TE & BE students of CIS department (NED University). Aneeq Hashmi the X-CISIAN conducted the workshop. He is currently serving in FOLIO3 (www.folio3.com) as a software developer.

The session was very learning one. Students got the flavor of PHP. The seminar was very helpful for those who are developing their projects using PHP. Aneeq bhai also emphasized on being PLATFORM INDEPENDENT and learn as many languages as possible.

PHP works on Open Source. PHP on front end and MySQL on back end makes a good combination for web-developing. Nowadays demand of PHP developers is increasing very much.

InshaAllah in future we will try to conduct more Seminars/Workshops for CIS students on PHP and other things too.

Pics will be uploaded as soon as I get them

Seminar on Windows Azure & Live Session

On the 27^th of January 2009, I got a call, ‘the number is unknown to me’, I received a call & my excitement reached to top when I realized that the call was from MIC (Microsoft Innovation Centre), they called me to attend their seminar, which was scheduled on 28^th January 2009.

I attended the seminar; it was a very good experience for me. The seminar was based on Windows Azure. The Speaker Mr. Ziaullah Khan, senior MVP (Microsoft Valuable Professional) had a very excellent knowledge on these topics. He also motivated us to learn Silverlight ourselves. He had a marvelous knowledge of Cloud Computing (or I can say he is a fan of Cloud Computing).

In this seminar there were only there students which include me (Mohammad Ali Zia), Namrah Arif & Hana Arooj all from CISE.

Refreshments & goodies were also there for us. We all got one Windows Mobile 6 CD. But I took 2

Seminar on web tools at CTTC

On 31st Jan 2009, I attended a seminar at CTTC. It was an introduction of latest Microsoft technologies WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) & WWF (Windows Workflow Foundation).
Mr. Muhammad Fahad was the presenter from folio3, the audience comprised of professionals and students from different institutes. Me (Mohammad Ali Zia), Muhammad Yasir Sultan & Arifa Mehfooz (BE – CIS students) were there as representatives from NED, the thing I liked most was that it was totally an interactive session, so this informative session facilitated us to learn new technologies in a better way!

The refreshment at the end made it even more valuable one .

I’m looking forward to attend more such seminars..!

Seminar on GSM Networks & Microwave Technologies

Within 10 days, on 7^th February 2009 CTTC again invited few students from NED to attend a seminar on GSM N/Ws & Microwave Technologies. This session was also very interactive but in the beginning few things went wrong with the projector which wasted almost half an hour to resolve.

I basically feel the purpose of this seminar was to promote students to join in hands with CTTC for their upcoming training session on GSM N/Ws.

The presenter is currently serving in Telenor & has a good command & knowledge (I forgot the name of speaker).

This time three students from NED were there. Two from BE – CIS & One from BE – Electronics. Me (Mohammad Ali Zia) & Muhammad Yasir Sultan represented CIS.

The refreshment menu still the same from previous seminar , but it was good !

Seminar on ‘Emotional Intelligence View 360’

On 3^rd February, 2009 a seminar was conducted on ‘Emotional Intelligence View 360’ at Sheraton Hotel, there were 4 students from NED, all are from CIS Department which includes Me (Mohammad Ali Zia), Muhammad Suhaib, Muhammad Yasir Sultan & Imran Ali Khan.

I was unable to understand a single word of seminar !

But I enjoyed my 1^st visit to Sheraton a lot.

Refreshment was also there !
