Experiences at SSCET College, Bhilai

Hello friends,

I just felt like sharing my experiences at SSCET college, Bhilai. I went there to deliver a presentation on "J2ME Game Programming".

Firstly I wish to thanks Chetna madam at SSCET who provided me with everthing i required for the presentation. The arrangements were excellent - Laptop, Speakers, Mic, Board everything - really a very nice seminar room.

I also wish to acknowledge Ms Nimisha Swami (for a very sweet introduction) and Ms Jayashree Nagpal for the invitation and concluding remarks.

Outline of the presentation: I started with introduction to JAVA followed by J2ME - MIDP/CLDC/JAR/JAD terms etc. But tried to keep the lecture more focussed on J2ME programming aspects. For this presentation I took my mobile game "PacMan" which has won 3rd prize in the "Let's Game Mobile" Contest @ Techkriti Oh Seven. I tried explaining the various concepts involved while writing mobile applications using J2ME.

The response from audience was also extremely good. There were around 150+ students from various departments - IT, CSE, Mechanical, MCA etc - really a very fabulous mixture of varying talents. Most of the students were comfortable with JAVA with a strong grasp in theoritical details too. I really enjoyed the various questions raised during the presentation.

I hope that these students will actively participate in our club activities.

Thanks,
Madhuresh
