The February Technical Sharing
I would like to thank all the people who came in PHINUG's February Technical Sharing. I've seen again (perhaps) a large dropout rate for our Technical Sharing but nonetheless, I was able to grab some warm bodies, particularly students to attend our session. Perhaps, it was a blessing in disguise for the students that they have attended this session as we barely get imported speakers. (Bose? Lol!)
Our speaker is Engr. Edwin Sarmiento (Sorry dude, I have to put your title) and he was able to present the new things about ASP.NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008. Aside from that, he was also able to relate how the topic can be used by students for their applications or thesis. The LINQ discussion was also great as he presented how LINQ statements translate to actual queries performed from the database server by using the SQL Server Profiler (he's using SQL Server 2000 for the demo).
Of course, there are some striking moments each participant won't forget as the term "DreamStudio" was coined up. New algorithms were also introduced such as the "C and P" algorithm followed by the "D and D" algorithm.
The event started quite late as we encountered some technical difficulties but I am pretty sure that the audience did enjoy the event. Again, thanks to all who came and we hope to see you more on our next Technical Sharing next month.
