Pycon India Workshop 2011

PyCon India 2011 is the primary Python conference in India. A purely volunteer effort, it is being hosted for the third time in India, and will attract some of the best Python developers in India and abroad.

The conference took place at Symbiosis Vishwabhavan, S.B. Road, Pune on 16th, 17th and 18th September 2011.

The conference consisted of tutorials, full length presentations, shorter lightning talks and open sprints and BoFs.

I can write 70 words per minute but I can't read my own Handwriting !!

I spend more time with my teachers than with my parents and family !!

I know the Euler's Theorem but I'm not sure what's my Shirt size !!

I have no life and i can prove this mathematically !!

I can translate English into Binary and a 40/100 is Heaven for me !!

My xerox bills are higher than my semester fees !!

Can u guess who i am ????

Its not that difficult.........Yes, you got it right , I am the STUDENT OF ENGINEERING

History : Why we celebrate engineers day ??
In India, Engineer's day is celebrated on September 15. This day is celebrated in the honor of Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya (1861-1962), who was a notable Indian engineer, scholar, statesman and the Diwan of Mysore during 1912 to 1919. Internationally recognised for his genius in harnessing water resources, he was responsible for successful design and construction of several river dams, bridges and implementing irrigation and drinking water schemes all over India.

He served as the dewan of Mysore State and was considered to be the architect of the all-round development of Karnataka.

Among his most successful projects are the design and construction of the K.R. Sagar dam and its adjoining Brindavan Gardens, turn-around of the Bhadravati Iron and Steel Works, setting up of the Mysore Sandalwood Oil Factory and the founding of the Bank of Mysore.

Finally , this is for my all friends pursuing engineering :

We are Cheaters.. But we dont cheat Humanity!!

We hate Study.. But we love Technology!!

World cant Change us, But we can change the World!!

We dont have Books in Hand.. But have Revolutionary Ideas in Mind!!

We are the rarest common Race on Earth..!! Meet us.. We are the ENGINEERS!!!

I know what you guys thought before reading the history behind engineer's day , but yes what you thought might be true that this is the only day in the whole year when a engineer is actually happy !!! :D :D

Python:

It is the era of object oriented programming , we all are aware of the advantages of Object Oriented Programming over other programming approaches. Python which is an object oriented programming language is being used widely for developing applications for a wide range of platforms.Python is the future of object oriented programming.Python is a hit in open source world because it is free to use even for commercial purpose.It is closer to the real world than other object oriented programming languages.
