Recall: 2009

December 25th, 2009

Couple days ago I was reading my last blog in 2008 and became a little bit nostalgic. One year is not a long time, but lot’s of things can happen in one year. Saying it again, never had such expectation out of time but I must say 2009 was the BEST year of my life so far! Because, I got married in 2009! I got married to love of my life in July, 22nd

Spoke at tech seminar arranged by PhpExperts group, and that was a great day for me to be in front of lots of talents from Bangladesh. It helped me to understand this local community I know and I love from my heart. I met lot’s of people I know from twitter/friendfeed/facebook but never saw them before. Though I couldn’t meet all the guys I know…and well, it helped me to get closer with some talent speakers , whoa!

Working at Trippertlabs is always fun, what a year it has been for this company! Working on some exciting iPhone projects and after a couple days you see them in the top list at iPhone app store, how does it feel? I can remember the weekend we worked on some iPhone quiz applications and one of them went to #1 position in the free app category. This excitement continued through out the year dude but out of all these biggest news from my company was acquisitions by Playdom!

“Amra Positive” idea came from some frustrations and interest to learn python. This is a personal project I developed for local community to share all good news within 150 chars. I was glad to receive some positive response from all kinds of users. I hope to upgrade this app soon on spare time but I will love to get more feedback and advices from you guys

What else? There are lots of things to recall from 2009. What an eventful year! But let’s not be more geek on this…let me remind my promise that I wanted to have Eid-ul-adha with my village people. This is one of the place I truly love to be. This year wasn’t any exception. As usual I had my Eid with my village people with some different moments….

What’s gonna happen in 2010? There’s gonna be lots of changes in my life, Uhm, but no guess…as I always say, wake up every morning and do what you enjoy the most…i will be keep following this theory by keeping very less expectations….

Presenting “Developing Facebook Application” at PHPExperts Semianr 2009

May 17th, 2009

Today, I was really honored to present “how to develop facebook application” at PHPExperts Semianr 2009. Indeed, that was a great experience for me to be in front of bunch of talent guys from whole Bangladesh. Though, it was not possible to show all important points/notes/stories by one presentation at a time, so my target audience were those who were willing to start developing facebook application and my aim was to make it as simple as possible, so that they can start…..

Developing Facebook Application (for beginners)

I dont know how successful I was for this…but I will be really happy if I see people are getting interest about developing facebook application.

Personally, I’m very much thrilled after this seminar, because I met lots of people I know from twitter, friendfeed or facebook. Now, i’m pretty sure we have this natural bonding between us. I would like to thank everybody whom I met or who enjoyed my presentation. Your suggestions are always welcome to me. If I ever get any chance again in any other seminar, I will try to talk about advance facebook application developing.

Thanks to all PHPExperts!

Attending Career Seminar at Independent University, Bangladesh

November 16th, 2008

Well, today was a different experience day for me. Things that always make me curious to know, things that always make me to run for, yes today I had this kind of experience. Not fully, but still met some faces. Hard some good advices (some of them where just dumb!)This is my university where I completed my Under Graduation.

Independent University arranged a seminar on Career guideline for fresher. There were some senior figures from different organizations and among them Hasin bhai was there too! Speakers were supposed to guide the students what they should do, how they should prepare themselves, how they should face the interview board. Everything went well and speakers just said what students were expecting. Although Hasin bhai’s presentation where kinda different (why im thinking like that? because we are from same field? maybe!)

But why I said some of advices were just dumb?! Because I just didn’t like some ideas or traditional process that were mentioned by the speakers [i.e. how to prepare your resume, how you should dress up and shit like that] For me yes, it’s just dumb! But I know this is what needed for bank employees and other organization except IT field.

So what I missed from the speakers?

Inspirations! This is what I missed; there were lots of packages of advice. If I was there as a fresher this would scared me for sure! Damn! I’m a human being, why the hell you don’t share your experience how you started your career and how you submitted your resume and stuff. What are the problems you faced? And what are the things that brought you in the position you are in today? Wouldn’t it be inspiring for me? Because you are a man of success eh!

I wish there were 1^st or 2^nd year’s students who were confused to decide their major subject. I would shout and say that listen guys, forget everything! If you are confused then just go for “Computer Science”. Become a nerd and become a developer, keep 50% of your heard crap!!! And go ahead. Spend hours in front of your computer every day, you never have to worry about your CGPA and stuff again!

But, I still think these fresher if they want they can choose this field even now. Not saying this to make them confused but letting them know if they are enthusiastic then come here! Become a developer , make your pocket healthy, and get known by others.
