This post is dedicated to the experience at Hack-U , an event held by Yahoo every year in IIT MADRAS . One crazy day of coding , brain storming , food hogging ( no one will accept it but people do come here for the GRUB .. corporate bribe ;) ) . Its an awesome fun where people gather in a lab for a day and just code . Any interesting ideas that you might have and you want to implement it , this is your destination .
Just back from a 15 hr period of coding and believe me when I say it , the ATMOSPHERE is amazing . You don't need coffee to stay awake when you see all the people out there , coding away to glory ( A quote "picked up" from Vikram ) . And with all the fun that we have along the way , this is something more than just a coding event. Its a real entertainment.
Now to the idea : Well with all my team mates being the nerds ( never talk about yourself is the policy here ;) ) , even the hack has to be of same type . Well , the basic idea was to have some sort of a engine which given a field and the university , gives the most popular list of professors related to that field. Not a very difficult thing to do but something that we have enjoyed making ( again , It's not finished it but who does not like bragging a little bit ).It was real fun coding with all the people in the room ... Anuja , Madhavi , Devesh , Nitin and Viki mama. It was one hell of a day and it was LEGEND .. wait for it .. . DARY :).
Well, I have to get back to the lab around 10 again so I better be heading off.
PS :
- At the time of starting , we had no idea of the GRUB . Lets say , now the less I speak the better. People who came looking for grub never found anything worthwhile !! :p.
- The only reason that I am writing this blog post at 3:40 in the morning is that it was always my wish that I have a blog post that is written early in the morning . It makes you sound more crazy than you really are :p.
