GUEST LECTURE

CSI Chapter of Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon in collaboration with NIIT Ltd. organized a Guest Lecture on 6th September 2016 at college campus. 120 students of Seventh and Fifth Semester of Department of Computer Science & Engineering attended the guest lecture. The objective of the lecture is to discuss the demand of new technology in market and keep pace with it.

The key speaker of the session was Mr. Brighu, Software Specialist from NIIT Limited. After the inaugural ceremony, Mr. Brighu discussed about “Technology Disruption”, the recent technologies that brought an exceptional changes in the techno world. He gave example of “Reliance Jio” that causes a huge decrease in shares of other mobile operators in a day.

Then, Mr. Bhrigu discussed some new technologies which help in building projects like Bootstraps, JSON, HTML5 for developing front end and java, j2EE,XML for Middleware &service side developing. Other than this, some database technologies like Oracle, Mongo DB, H2 which can be used to store and manage large data also discussed by him.

After that, Mr. Bhrigu explained “Project based learning” in which he gave detailed knowledge of various project developing softwares. He told Integrated Developing Environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. The speaker described IDE’s like “Eclipse, GitHub, Maven, JUnit”. He said that these technologies help in creating various real time applications as well as projects.

The motive of the lecture was to bring awareness about a website developing technology i.e. J2EE. Mr. Bhrigu explained that, Java Platform, Enterprise Edition or Java EE is a widely used enterprise computing platform developed under the Java Community Process. The platform provides an API and runtime environment for developing and running enterprise software, including network and web services, and other large-scale, multi-tiered, scalable, reliable, and secure network applications.

Mr. Brighu said that Java EE extends the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE), providing an API for object-relational mapping, distributed and multi-tier architectures, and web services. The platform incorporates a design based largely on modular components running on an application server. Software for Java EE is primarily developed in the Java programming language. The speaker said that the platform emphasizes convention over configuration and annotations for configuration. Optionally XML can be used to override annotations or to deviate from the platform defaults.

Then, there was an interactive questions and answers session in which students raised some questions and their doubts. It was a great learning experience for students as Mr. Bhrigu explained in detail about new technologies.
