Welcome to the Techstart grand finale. The Techstart program was
conceived to address the unique situation that the Computer Science class of
2009 found itself in. When several students who graduated in 2009 and had
campus offers found their offers indefinitely delayed or revoked because of
the economic situation, the Techstart initiative helped them learn
bleeding-edge technology and provided a practical channel to their creative
talent. Conceived by Anand Deshpande, inspired by a similar highly
successful experiment at Stanford, sponsored by Microsoft and supported by
multiple organizations and individuals, Techstart was designed to provide
these students with training on Windows Azure development, Microsoft’s cloud
computing platform, through a community effort. About 200 students brushed
up on the basics of .NET development followed by over 8 weeks of intense
training on the Windows Azure development platform from industry experts.
The training culminated in a competition that showcased this newly acquired
knowledge in the form of group projects hosted on Microsoft Azure. - Event Highlights - Keynote address by Mr Moorthy Uppaluri, General Manager DPE, Microsoft India Techstart Competition Showcase – Live demos of the prize-winning applications on the Azure Cloud and prize distribution Demo Extravaganza – a highly interesting introduction to some of the latest technologies from Microsoft Please join us in applauding the students and volunteers that made this event a huge success and for a technology-filled evening in the company of: Mr. Moorthy Uppaluri, Keynote Speaker General Manager DPE, Microsoft India Dr. Anand Deshpande Founder, Chairman and Managing Director, Persistent Systems Ltd. & Dr. Deepak Shikarpur, Chief Guest IT Evangelist To know more about the event log on to: http://techstart.cloudapp.net/home.aspx | ||
