Web is huge- about 1.7 billion people use it. You may ask, while talking about the size of web, why I have used the number of people instead of number of website? The answer lies in the modern web technologies. Probably I would use the number of websites, if it were the era of web 1.0 technologies only. But web 2.0 has given power to people. There were few good reasons for that. Web 1.0 was becoming so huge, it became almost impossible for the administrators to keep all the information updated.

There are plenty of complicated and complete libraries available for MySQL and PHP- which are used widely in big projects. For small projects we either use our own small library or we don’t use anything at all. The bad thing about not using anything at all are: a) The database information gets spread all over the places and b)we often forget to check security and c) a lot of code duplication.

By now, IEEEXtreme 3.0 should be over. This year there were about 700 teams participated in the contest- which means about 2100 competitors. In terms of number, it was a great success- I believe it was beyond organizers’ expectation. I was worried if the server will be able to handle the huge traffic. Eventually it did.

Lost Generation
I am part of the lost generation
and I refuse to believe
that I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
Happiness comes from within
is a lie, and
Money will make me happy.
So in 30 years I will tell my children
They are not the most important thing in my life.
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
work
is more important than
family. Read more »
