Unlike every year this year workshop was conducted on Android. Previously the workshop used to be on Symbian (Using Python for S60) .

Day1 – Installation of eclipse and android SDK was done. Everyone installed and started there emulator successful. Hello World program was explained properly. Making UI through XML and through java file was explained. Then App inventor tool of google was shown.

Day2 – Basics of java and then android overview (activities, intents, widget…) was covered first. Then Lab1 was done which was hands-on-session . Everyone used Linear Layout, Button, EditText, Checkbox , etc… through dynamic programming and made a simple app. How to use LogCat to debug code was also taught.

Day3-  Different Example codes were explained and distributed. Lab2 was done which was hand on session. Same layout which was made in day2 was now made through xml. It covered different layout, widget most importantly listview, adapter, layout inflator, etc.

Lastly there was discussion on ideation as well. How to generate ideas for an mobile application. What all thing we should look for when we go for making an mobile application, etc.

All files are attached  (Lab1, Lab2 complete, examples and slides)

Thursday, Friday and Saturday. (20th, 21st and 22nd of Jan).
1)20th Jan (Thursday) – Wikipedia & Open Information – By Prof K.P Rao
2)21st Jan (Friday) – An approach to algorithms for coding competitions
3)22nd Jan(Saturday) – Design Patterns commonly used

Details:
1)20th of Jan – The first of the talks were by Prof. KP Rao and was on the Wikipedia foundation. The talk was wonderful and Prof KP Rao shared with us his 50 years of teaching experience and also talked on the various aspects of wikipedia and on the concept behind it. He also talked about the ideasOpen Information – By Prof K.P Rao

2)21st of Jan – The second of the talks was on Approach to algorithms in coding competition, by shivhari shankar on the memebers of LUG, Manipal. The talk was on the basics of coding competition and thoughts that go behind solving one of them. Standard problems were also picked and analyzed. It was an open session with anyone allowed to discuss and analysed the problem given. Problems like the n queens problem and permutation and combination were well received by everyone and there was an overall informal session that was fruitful and useful.

3)22nd of Jan -Being civilised humans, we conform to certain behavioural patterns in life to be a part of the social systems. Similarly there are many practices, many problems already solved. Design patterns is about finding a pre made good solution to your problems.

It mainly focussed on MapReduce and its open source implementation-Hadoop.

The session first covered a brief idea of why we need to have distributed computing since everything is driven by need.Then It covered how a distributed file system works.It focussed on the Google File System.A demonstartion of how Hadoop works on a single node enviornment where a example very similar to the wordcount example was show. It was an election simulation where the input was the votes cast and the Hadoop Job aggregated the results.After this some finer details about Hadoop was covered which was the last topic in the session.
