  • Finally, a bachelor in Computer Science Engineering!

    Finally, a bachelor in Computer Science Engineering!

    If a person teaches me one single word, he has made me his servant for a lifetime.
~ Hazrat Ali (RA)

    I graduated with a gold medal for the outstanding academic performance yesterday. Finally, a Bachelor in Computer Science Engineering! I don’t know how to pen such feelings; even though I consider myself a good writer, I find it hard to find the words to describe the gush of emotions that overwhelm me. It is a combination of sheer joy, nostalgia, and gratefulness.

    All of this and all of me is because of my parents. It is not my achievement; it is theirs. Everything I am today is because of their sacrifices, hard work, and belief in me. They gave me the best education and taught me to be kind and respectful.

    My teachers were always there for me. They blessed me with the most valuable asset in the universe – knowledge. I have been privileged to be under my teachers’ guidance. They shaped me and made me who I am today. Special thanks to my professors at CHANDIGARH UNIVERSITY and Apex Institute of Technology – AIT, Chandigarh, especially Dr. Nitin Jain, Krishnendu Rarhi, Maninderpal Singh (PhD).

    Good friends are always essential to life and success. I have been fortunate to have some incredible friends who have been with me through thick and thin. A special mention to one such person without whom all of this would have been impossible. Thank you from the core of my heart.

    Foremost, thanks to Allah for everything I have. Alhamdullilah!

    Another life chapter finished, another milestone achieved. Now the focus is on starting another chapter – a master’s degree.

Mr. Satnam Singh Sandhu, Hon’ble Chancellor of Chandigarh University, praised and pledged his support by donating 200,000 INR to the Hackoverflow Technical Society and The LaDebug Club.

    Hackoverflow Technical Society also organized a contest which was sponsored by Coding Ninjas. The winners were awarded with Coding Ninja goodies. A handful of cultural performances by talented singers and bands enthralled the crowd and brought the event to a great closing.

  • DevWP Day 2

    DevWP Day 2

    WordPress is a pretty powerful CMS but it is often misunderstood and its power is underestimated. People need to learn WordPress, not only because it drives almost half of the web but also because it is powerful, versatile, and open source.

    Hackoverflow Technical Society organized ‘DevWP’, a four-day-long WordPress contest in collaboration with rtCamp, a WordPress VIP Gold Agency Partner.

    Our goal is to introduce students, particularly college freshers and juniors, to WordPress. The participants will create a website on different topics, ranging from personal blogs to e-commerce websites, using WordPress. We want students to understand that WordPress is not just another CMS, but they can build really amazing applications using it.

    In this session, we had Muhammad Muhsin, Sourav Roy, and Paul David Clark with us. We covered three topics – Career Opportunities in WordPress, Journey as a WordPress Engineer, and Career Roadmaps. Muhsin is a Senior React Engineer at rtCamp, Sourav Roy is a WordPress Engineer, and Paul Clark is the Director of Engineer at rtCamp.

  • DevWP Day 1

    DevWP Day 1

    We are off to a great start ?

    Today was the Day 1 of #DevWP, a 4-day-long #WordPress#contest in collaboration with rtCamp. We are organizing this contest under the banner of #Genesis, our marquee #event for #freshers and #college#juniors.

    In this #edition, we thought of including a contest about #WordPress since people often underestimate its power. #WordPress is at the core of most of the #websites that we see today, so it is imperative for freshers to at least know about #WordPress.

    Today’s session was an orientation regarding the event and #WordPress. We discussed why #WordPress is important, installing #WordPress on #Windows, #Linux, and #Mac, and some basic things about #WordPress.

    In tomorrow’s session, we have Paul David Clark, Muhammad Muhsin, and Sourav Roy from rtCamp with us. They’ll speak about #Career opportunities in WordPress, their #journey, and #Career#Roadmap.

    It is going to be a fun ride!

    Special mention to – Aditya Kane, Nicol Fernandes, Rahul Bansal for helping Hackoverflow Technical Society and hundreds of #students from CHANDIGARH UNIVERSITY with this #collaboration.
