Worth trying it.

I hope this information helps you.

Thanks for reading.

Since, this is a placement season and a career start time for fresher’s. To start a career in a technology which is still a topic of debate among the experts would be a tough decision to make, although, if we check its fashion of growth, since last 5-6 years, things would become clearer. Ruby on Rails rapid-fire development and agility helps in fast development of software, decreasing the software development time and increasing productivity, which overall reduces its time to market. Thus, proving it to be a cost effective choice. Ruby on rails has rapidly headed towards new dome and with the help of this technology; many applications ranging from e-commerce to productivity of content has been successfully developed. Thus in spite of being a contentious topic, the skill set demand has been appreciably increasing in the market, creating more jobs for both fresher’s and experienced aspirants.

During 2012, I believe Ruby on rails will come up with various new toppings in the development field and also will be accepted as an Enterprise Web application platform. Ruby is already flaunted, as the Language of the cloud and Rails is perhaps the precursor for all web application development. Analyzing the trend of its growth, it could be concluded that the technology enthusiasts, without any precedents, have embraced Ruby on rails incredibly faster in past 8 years and is believed to reach to a more mature phase of acceptance in large enterprise market. Thus, on the light of above, it would be a good choice to start career with Ruby on Rails technology, since it still has to reach its maturation phase. This could provide tremendous opportunity to learn and grow parallel with the growth of technology.

And true to their approach they used revolutionary and innovative frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Sinatra which made the test site agile and iterative. The site is open for public testing and improvement for a final release later this year.  Most important thing behind this effort is that beside ROR, they have implemented GitHub code repository and hosted on Amazon’s Cloud servers.

As Rails applications are built on the philosophy of ‘Convention over Configuration’ and ‘DRY’, a developer has to write code only for something that is ‘unconventional’. Rails framework provide ready to use plugins and components, so a working system can be built in a very short span of time in a cost effective way. There are numerous idioms available within the Rails framework that shared the amount of code a developer has to write. Lesser lines of code mean higher productivity, lower complexity and obviously less number of bugs.

Gov.UK is just another milestone achieved in the success journey of Ruby on Rails after Mac OS X (Leopard) was released with full support for Ruby and Rails included with the OS.

More productive, innovative and happy coding ahead fortified with new technologies like ROR – as Minister for the cabinet Mr. Francis Maude had rightly said “It’s an immersion in the new world.”

In the same way that the iPhone revolutionized the smartphone market by providing a vast amount of content, an Apple television could dramatically change television viewing by not only just just watching cable television, movies and TV shows on an iOS based Apple Television, but also by playing games, running apps, sharing what you’re watching or playing on the television and lots more. Jobs was hoping to revolutionize the television experience, and if anyone could produce a better design, more interactivity (with features like Siri, FaceTime, Apps, and iTunes), and a stellar interface, he could. It is believed that the price of Apple TV could potentially be two to three times higher than other TVs in the market. A senior executive of Apple conveyed “In our view, features such as Siri, FaceTime, the App Store, iTunes and gaming are a natural fit for a full blown Apple TV, combined with potential new features and technologies in the future”. Thus, Whatever its price, there’s no doubt that an Apple smart TV would be an instant hit with Apple enthusiasts and consumers looking for a superior home entertainment solution.

 
With the success of Smart TV , Apple’s smart TV will be a great opportunity for the company to further expand its position in the video game market. Hence, Apple will sightsee another prospect to reinvent a different product category and develop even closer ties with its customers, by greater simplicity and innovation.

Jobs was not only a visionary, he was also a fighter, who battled cancer since 2004. The battle ended today morning; a heartrending news today flashed the end of the god of innovation. The news came a day after the launch of iPhone 4s, which got a very lukewarm reception among its customers and shareholders.    However, the cancer could only kill the physical body of  the creator of Apple, not the soul, which is left behind and would always stay in his novelties.  Steve Jobs said that the knowledge that he could die soon impacted all his life choices. A reminder to us all to live for TODAY, and he tried his best to bring a change EVERYDAY to this world. In a speech in Stanford university graduate in 2005, he told, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future, You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life”.  He has always been a good orator and through his speeches, inspired the generations.

With the demise of Mr. jobs , there is a vacuum created not only in Apple but in the whole universe , wherever personal, mobile computing and music has its existence. It is going to be extremely difficult to fill his shoes, even though steve has left behind many of his replications.

Thousands of Protesters swelled across India ,to support the self- styled Gandhian’s fast up to death anti-corruption campaign.  This campaign is arising a hope among all Indians who want to see India as a corruption free state. Mr. Hazare’s tactics appears astute.  He and his squad have declared that this pressure on government will not be eased till the time their demands are not accepted. This fast up to death, as a form of protest is an accepted weapon since Mahatama Gandhi’s days and this anti- corruption movement is being names as the second war of freedom, which isn’t against the British rule but against the sleaze that prevails within the country. However, we fail to compare the difference in both the situations. Mahatma Gandhi used this tool under a very unique situation, when India was under a foreign rule and didn’t have a democratic set up, where as Anna and his squadron is following this protest in an Independent and democratic India where various forms of democratic mobilization and advocacy are available to them. Apart from the difference in situation, lets talk about the difference in the moralities of the supporters.  Amongst the enthusiasts who have come on the street to fight corruption, themselves have not ever followed the path of corruption? How many of them have paid their taxes on time, never taken bribe, forged documents to get compensation, never tamper with the electricity meter? What an irony, people who themselves are corrupt are fighting against corruption. First we need to sweep our inner dirt and then start scrubbing others.

We can’t deny the fact that the cause for which Mr. Hazare is fighting for is correct and if implemented the way he wants can give a rebirth to India, which can actually embolden – India Shining. However, there are many hidden ifs and buts in its success. Corruption is a complex malaise in India. It is rooted in opaque and badly run institutions that have been fostered and tolerated over the years. It is become an unavoidable part of our lives. We don’t hesitate to give Rs. 100 after breaking the traffic signal or paying Rs. 500, just to pass my verification process of passport application. There are many such incidences, where we don’t even think before heading towards the path of venality. Thus, the virus of corruption has assimilated not only at top-level officials but also in our daily undertakings. Thus a movement should start to eradicate corruption within us to list India on the top among the world’s corruption free sate. Consequently, An over-focus on the executive dimensions of the problem while neglecting the moral dimensions of it will maintain and exacerbate the existing tensions on this issue.

Today, on July 28,2011, I completed 3 years with Allerin Technologies. 3 years is not a big span of time, nonetheless too small also. In these three years, I got a chance to see all the shades within me. I actually experienced the mantra of Allerin that “SIMILARITY ENDS WHEN YOU JOIN ALLERIN” and with these 3 years of quality experience; I have actually progressed as a diverse person, professionally more enriched and personally more mature. In these 3 years, I discovered that my views, ideas, suggestions are being respected and treated as valuable. Allerin’s management is not convicted of monopolistic practices. Members working here are not as just another resource but they are seen as the future of this organization. It’s invigorating to work at a company where you can trust that the upper echelon is smart, hardworking, and making right decisions and the most amazing thing is if you get a chance to share the table with them. These factors worked as a magic bullet in the shaping and extemporizing my professional career. I always desired to do work with an association where my individuality is not changed but never thought do I deserve this. When I stepped in Allerin, I also understood the real significance of deserve and desire. Thus, as I started spend more time in Allerin, gradually I was very clear about what I desire and what I deserve. Today, I am a totally transformed individual than I was before wearing a crown of being an Allerian. The journey with Allerin is still not over, I have to go long way with it and contribute more in its further progression.

The concept of Competitive intelligence was originally developed by US government i.e. NAS and CIA, and used extensively in cold war. The notion has been very enthusiastically amalgamated in Human resource professionals today. Traditionally, decisions taken by Human resource professionals were mostly influenced by hunches, trends and fads, and the popular press tend but later they comprehended that most of the times decisions taken were not appropriate. Gradually, these premonition-based approaches were overtaken by evidence-based approach whereby science and empirical evidences drive business decisions and strategies; consequently, companies are building strategic capabilities and competitive advantage through data-driven analytics and intelligence. HR professional’s battle for strategic legitimacy and to accomplish the evidence based approach, they have given rise to a plethora of methods and techniques such as balanced scorecards, HR metrics, organizational and employee surveys, selection research, multi-rater feedback systems and360-degree and benchmarking approaches. In this war of talent, our HR system should be proactive to scrutinize and correspond data using insightful people research and analytics. It’s very important for HR professional to fathom a very holistic and systematic approach, because there is no technological solution, which is going to produce a magical transformation without the usage of human intelligence and transform all HR related information and data at our disposal.

Establishing effective HR practices can also help an organizational strategist and decision makers to ameliorate their decision-making capability. If human and intellectual capital goes hand in hand, organization develops a competitive advantage. Thus, if human and intellectual capital is indeed a company’s greatest source of competitive advantage, then it is incumbent on HR to play a central role in understanding and measuring an organization’s most valuable asset: its people
