….Came across an interesting presentation from BarCamp London , which unravels this mystery.Credits:
John Wilson
Ever since I have heard Rohit Agarwal(the innovator) of TechTribe speak at the BarCamp,Bangalore I was very much impressed with him.I just thought “Whether TechTribe can be India’s answer to LinkedIn?”
He had a point about Indians in particular-“Indians are innovative at each point of time”.He had a very good example of Innovation(which according to him is not thought about everywhere) –“Even, when we(Indians) want to cross the road and (damn),there is lot of traffic,we try an alternate way to reach the other side of the road”.This is just a small example of innovation in each and every Indian mind[Am I being too patriotic :-)].Now,why connect on TechTribe when you have LinkedIn,keep on reading.
“A 30 year old IIT grad Avinash Agarwal not only got around Rs 10 Lakh funding for his startup RouteGuru through TechTribe(after he posted the idea on TechTribe) but he also gets guidance from some of the well established professionals from the industry.”
Visit my Techtribe profile to connect with me and join the innovative era!!!
Check this one,this is just the start of innovation on TechTribe

Speaker : Maha,Thoughtworks
It was on pair programming and Test Driven Development(TDD).A live demo was shown using JUnit.
The advantage point of view is that “You are fully comitted towards your job and you dont take personal calls,dont chat etc”
There had many scenarios on which test cases were built:
Scenario 1:
We should be able to put money into the wallet
—>Test cases were generated using this test case.Also,just for checking the functionality , neagtive money was put into the wallet(Damn,Is this possible?)
Scenario 2:
As a wallet owner , you would like to take out money from the wallet
—>Test case was developed for this scenario
—>Now what happens,if you try to take out more money from the wallet than what you have?
Scenario 3:
As a account owner , I would like to draw more money from the account than what I have?
—>This is in contrast with the test case 2 hence revamp of the existing code 🙂
Scenario 4:
As an account owner,I should be notified through email when I overdraw my money
—>This means every owner has an account associated with him.
—>Create a new method to notify the owner of the account,through email

Was just reading some technical stuff along with some blogging(as usual).Suddenly a senior person named “Hari” asked me “whether I work in Thoughtworks and my answer was no.He asked me about my job and stuff like that.
I told him about my work and he was pretty much impressed about it.He asked me “Whether I was there in this field since the beginning”.Since he was not feeling bored,I asked him “Should I tell how I landed up Bangalore and my background”.
I told him about film city and the work that I did there in game shows.Told him about Siddarth Basu and what a great director he is.I also told him about my dreams and how I want to progress in life,my dreams and desires.
I also told him that few years down the line “I want to direct a movie which would be on my life with a slight twist”(This is required if you want to get a reasonable audience).
I told him about my love for Blogging,Software,Building a venture and at the same time,script my life in a movie”
He was pretty impressed and congratulate me “Wishing me all the best for my Career , Venture and also my own movie”
I hope that this way “A Network is created and I get mature audience to my blog as well as my movie( when it comes in the future -:) )

This is introduction to MPEG,WMV,H.264
Why compression:
Basic Idea:
Human eye models:
The best compression method is “H.264”
Lots of discussions happened and it was all general.Hence nothing much updated.
Speaker : Aashish Solanki
YBangalore non-profit site which is started by two engineering students.The parent company is Yulop
Why YBangalore:
What is next at YBangalore:
But the debate was “Can this sustain for a longer period of time” since , it is completely non-profit.
Next Venture : see2get
This will be launched very soon
The idea is “80-90% of the people dont come back to a site is because of a bad GUI”
How important is a user in WEB2.0:
Pillars of Web 2.0:
Final idea is “Content is the king”
Speaker : Kavita , MingleBox
The young people spend more time on the internet rather than watching 9:00 soaps!!!Minglebox was launched 3 months back.People feel that MingleBox is more safer and Indian as compared to Orkut.
Competitors:
There is a group on MigleBox called “Bangalore” where people party,go for movies etc.The intented audience is college going guyz(and this is very difficult to answer).The answer is not how different is but “Is there an intented audience?”.
Technology and UI are one of the main focus areas so that “Improvement in small steps would lead to a big improvement over a period of time”.Currently,a 25 member team and looking out for more.Live demo on “Scrambled Scrapping” which enables Private Scrapping.
