New Life Began

mihirsoni.123@gmail.com (Mihir Soni) — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 12:36:47 +0530

I finally started my job on June 6th, 2011, at Maxim Integrated Circuits as an IT engineer. An awesome experience. On my first day I was introduced to my colleagues and went through all the HR formalities. For the first time, I’d get paid for work I love doing. I got my last-semester result and would soon get my (provisional) degree certificate 😉 — done with studies. No more exam tension, no more assignment submissions, but a bit more responsibility at work. Currently working on C#.NET and ASP.NET.

Last Semester Internship

Hello,

I haven’t blogged about myself in a while — where am I, what am I doing these days? Well, I’m currently in my last semester of my master’s, which is an industrial internship. I was recruited by PMC for an internship in Baroda (Vadodara), so three of us from my class went. Two classmates were from the same city, so they weren’t worried about accommodation. I’m from Ahmedabad, so I had to find a PG. I found one near my office with help from Anish, my classmate and now colleague at the company. 😉

doctypehtml.in Conference, Ahmedabad — 5th Feb

Hello,

It was Friday — last day of the week, of course. I came home to Ahmedabad around 9:00 PM.

I’d planned to attend a conference in Ahmedabad on Saturday, with the agenda of introducing and using HTML5 and CSS3.

From a simple web designer to a full web developer, it was helpful to everyone, I think. 🙂

I reached at 9:30, and after a simple registration process, the first talk was on HTML5 by Kiran Jonnalagadda — good, and covered the basic uses of HTML5. After the talk there was something interesting: on the event’s registration website, doctypehtml5.in, they’d been storing everyone’s user agent, and based on that they made a chart of how many people were using which browser.

Motivational Programming Poster

I’ve been reading around about coding style and how to keep code neat and clean, and I stumbled on some posters to get motivated while programming. 😛

We’ve all been there — sometimes code makes us mad. A project that leaves you scratching your head for hours, late into the night. We wake up early, or sometimes at midnight, with our mind racing about a 1000-line-long method. Sometimes we get angry after seeing countless nested loops. 😅 Sometimes we get someone else’s source code and realize there’s no framework or convention followed at all.

Third Semester Projects

Hello,

Since I mentioned my third semester journey in my last post, I’d like to describe my projects separately in this one.

In my third semester I had two projects — one in Software Engineering, and another in Distributed Computing, a.k.a. DCOM.

In Software Engineering, we were put into a team of 7 classmates, decided by the professor, and we had to decide on the project definition ourselves.

We collected ideas from all team members, and eventually landed on something new called e-society, where we planned to reduce the workload of a society’s secretary and chairman.

Since July 2010 to Jan 2011

Hello,

I’ve been busy with my third semester and placements, so I wasn’t able to write on my blog. I was very tense about my career and placements — in our college, placements started in July 2010, and I was waiting with interest for a company.

In September, a company called Paul Mason Consulting (PMC) visited our campus, and I sat for that company on a .NET profile and was selected as an intern. I still wasn’t fully satisfied, since I didn’t have a proper job offer yet. Then, in the last week of September, I found out that a company called MAXIM-IC was going to visit our campus, and I was excited because it was completely .NET-based. At the time of registration I was told I wasn’t eligible, and I was sad, but somehow I got a chance to sit for it anyway. So I prepared for that company. On the 4th of October, 11:00 AM, I went to the exam hall very tense. The test took about an hour, and after three hours I got the result — I was shortlisted for the interview. There were four panels of interviewers, and I had to face each one, turn by turn. 😅 I successfully cleared all the interviews and got selected at MAXIM-IC as a Software Engineer. 🙂
