Why would this be helpful?

The entire idea to create TNP site was to assist a seamless sharing of information related to Training & Placement. The site currently shows information on which companies came when, recruited/shortlisted how many students, and what were their packages. The site also shows semester-wise SGPAs/CGPAs of students who got placed/shortlisted. But, it misses out the fact that while recruiting students, CGPA is just one of the criteria, not everything. The best way to summarize a person’s achievements is his/her resume. This motivated me to write additional lines of code, so that students can learn from their peers.

Why should you upload your resume?

There are many reasons why you should upload your resume, including:

1. Others get benefited. No matter what you have in your resume, its gonna inspire someone or the other in the campus.
2. Placement season is (almost) over. So, no more competition among ourselves. Our (passing out students) tech career/higher studies will begin after we leave Kgp this summer. There is always a scope of learning from how other people managed their lives at Kgp. These resumes might inspire us to have a fresh beginning after we leave Kgp.
3. There is also a provision for adding internship resumes, so that students in their pre-placement years are also benefited. The database will be maintained for future generations.
4. Some of us will find this as a new forum to show-off our talents.
5. You can’t view any resume until you have uploaded atleast one of your own resumes.

Its a common consensus among recruiters, that Kgpians are not as aware as Bombay/Delhi/Kanpur/Madras students and Kgpians don’t prepare well before interviews/GDs. This website, in a way, is an attempt to increase that awareness among Kgpians. I wish that all of you reading this will upload your resume, and contribute towards increasing awareness among your peers, and thereby help in the growth of the majestic alumni network that Kgp enjoys (and other IITs envy).

Thanks for reading till the last line!

now, I am giving u a short tutorial on how to configure assembla and svn with Netbeans..

1. install netbeans 6.1.
2. install collabnet subversion.. here you will be asked to register..
3. open netbeans, open the versioning menu, click subversion, and then checkout..
4. enter the home folder of the collabnet subversion.. it should be somthing like this.. D:\Program Files\CollabNet Subversion ..
5. Restart Netbeans..
6. again click on checkout, enter the url of your repository, it can be found here found at assembla home>Project Name>Trac/SVN>SVN url, and, your assembla username and password..
7. then, browse the repository folder for Project Folder.. make sure that the scan for netbeans projects after checkout has been checked.. click on the open project which comes after checking out..

now, you will find that, a project has been created.. this is the project which all the team members will be using at the same time.. Team members will be editing it at their pcs and then uploading it to the repository..

Steps to follow, while adding the source code for the first time:

1. Create a project in your netbeans.
2. Configure the collabnet subversion as told above.
3. Select the project in the projects tab.
4. Click Versioning>Subversion>Import to repository.
5. Provide the necessary settings, such as url, username and password.

Lets know about some svn commands (which can be found after right clicking the project>subversion..

Important Commands:

Show Changes: This command shows the changes between the code thats there in the repo, and that at your pc.. There can be 7 types of changes, locally new, locally modified, locally deleted, remotely new, remotely modified, and remotely deleted.. One special kind of Change can be local conflict.. This happens when 2 members edit one piece of code at the same time differently.. One example can be, if I edit ideas_controller.rb to something, and Amit edits it to something else, and then, I commit my code.. when I submit, there was no error.. but as soon as amit commits the code, an error creeps out, showing that Amit has been using an older version of the code.. this is called local conflict.. now, at this point of time, Amit has to resolve this conflict (it has to be manual, it can’t be computerized) .. One of the healthy practices is to have a look at the remotely changed files, and perform actions accordingly, like if a new migration is run, you must migrate your database to the current version (this you will come to know once u get acquainted with rails) …

Update: It updates the code at the pc, to the code at the repository.. Note that, locally modified changes can’t be updated..

Commit: It submits the code at ur PC to the code at repository.. Its important to commit only those file, which you have changed.. Files like, development logs, and PC specific settings (database configuration) and all, should be excluded from commit.. This can be achieved by Clicking commit, and selecting ‘exclude from commit’ in the Commit action..

Other Commands:

Diff: It shows the actual difference between the code at the repository and the code on ur pc..

Search History: It shows the actual history of a file, i.e, who has modified the file at what place..

It would be good, if youhave a look over here, how subversion works, and its file sharing operations..

You people must get acquainted with these tools, as these are inseparable from any kind of software development..

The best way to learn new thing is to google about them… at the same time, I would link u with some of the online resources.. Its important to follow these steps in the order I have listed below..

1. Google and know abt the advantages and disadvantages of rails… (duration: 1 day)
2. Download this book.. Read the introduction and then straightaway go to Part 3, i.e. the Rails Framework.. Clear the concepts of Active Support, Active Records, Migrations and Action Controllers as these will be needed at every step of development.. I am afraid that the book is obsolete for rails 2.10, still, it will help a lot in building concepts of rails (a newer beta book is released, but, I couldn’t get it anywhere online ).. (duration: 1 day).
3. Now, after getting the basics, build an application on rails, and keep checking the book to clarify ur concepts.. here’s a tutorial that would help u.. (duration: 2 days).
4. Now, its time to learn some web 2.0 stuff… know more abt the rjs templates and its usage with ajax… (duration: 2 days).
5. ts time to use some pre-developed code.. there r 2 types of pre-developed codes – one is ruby gems, which is similar to java Packages.. u will find it in netbeans, tools, ruby gems.. the second one is rails plugin.. u will have to add repository of a plugin after right clicking a project in netbeans, and then, the project will automatically download the sources (so, no more hassle of reference problems).. (duration: 1 day).

So, in a weeks time, you will get some idea how rails applications work.. I have built a rails application for my company.. have a look..

In the meanwhile, u can refer to RailsCasts for its outstanding effort in promoting rails by sharing some of the best video tutorials..

U might also face problem, which editor to use.. I have experimented with a lot of editors and IDEs.. The Best one is Netbeans.. to get acquainted with Netbeans and rails , check out these tutorials..

Still, very big companies like YouTube depend entirely on flash.. And JavaScript is something, without which, no Industry can survive..
The Battle Continues..
Here, I am linking the best flash websites that took me almost 2 hours for compilation:

for some free flash templates u can always have a look on these websites.. These are really helpful while developing a new website, or even while learning Flash+ActionScript in depth..

Also, I would like to point out, what are the possibilities with JavaScript (check these cool demos):
