WA Champions Cup 2010

WA Champions Cup is a football tournament held in my company, Web Access. Just imagine bunch of computer junkies in colorful jerseys running after a football, sounds interesting? Believe me, it’s great fun. It’s a day to show your footwork, may be curve in a banana kick and of course have a wonderful time with your colleagues.

We were divided into 4 teams: Konquerors, WA Invaders, Thunderbird, The Broncos..

Everyone had to play against each other and the top 2 teams would make it to the final. So after all the matches, the final was between my team “Thunderbird” and “WA Invaders”. Lack of fitness and no pior match practice made everyone very tired. I had cramps in both legs and could barely move but I had to push myself for the finals.

Unfortunately our team was no match to WA Invaders, they played really well and we lost :(

Inspite of that I am very happy with my team’s performance. They showed a great deal of dedication and determination to reach final. At the end of the day, it was sprit of the game that was true winner.

Nitin Vishwakarma:
Hi All,
My name is Nitin Vishwakarma, and I am from Raipur Chhattisgarh. I have joined webaccess India on 17-May-2010.After I completed my DAC from C-DAC Akurdi, Pune.

I was worried about the placements. when I got selected to Mumbai’s well known firm WEBACCESS.And guess what, I got JAVA,one of the most anticipated streams.We learnt html, javascript, css, Software Engg., Ajax, Core Java from well qualified and accomplished people. Although the place was new to us but because of HELPFUL SENIORS and FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT,we are now very much acquainted to the place and feel as if its our another HOME.

I remember my starting month where we had lectures and simultaneouly test are conducted.
which are a good experince for me. Firstly, i din’t get why this test are conducting, but now i can conclude that those test help me a lot while i am in live-projects.

We had good hands on small projects given by Mr.Bipin Pandey. We learnt a lot from those small project.
Recently, i have completed a live project named Performance review System. Which looks so simple from outside but as complex and huge from inside. Our project members where:
Sumant Natkar(Team Leader)
Yogesh Kambari
Nilam Telekar
and Me.

Sumant Natkar plays a very important role in our team he make us to think beyond our imagination,
and make me think a lot. Starting days of this project he use to say we have to do this and that and ask to make big big documentation and blah-blah. later when our documentation get confirmed by seniors and appriciate our work. Then i came to know why he ask us to do all this stuff.

Tell you frankly, those documentation helps us a lot when we are coding because we covered each and small area in that documentation that we don’t have to think while coding wheather some points are still left to discuss or some points are still left to cover. Every small small area have been covered in those documentation and finally when we code and given our review, our project has been approved.

Nilam Talekar:
Hi,
My name is Nilam Talekar. I joined Webaccess on 17 May 2010. I recruited here from NIIT placement. When I got this job that time I was very excited.
On first day, I was very excited and nervous also because this is my first job. When I came office, that time I knew, that I am in java group. As i came to know that i am in java group. I am bit worried because I have done .NET course from NIIT and I did not have any knowledge about Java. But after few days when I get training and I realized that there is nothing to worried. And I was getting excited to grab a new language i.e Java. With me other 15 peoples joined and all those were new to me, in 2 days we know to each others. Some of them are from java background they also helped to me to learn java.

In training period, some new technologies I learned including HTML,Java Script,Ajax,Struts,Software Engineering etc.. This experience was awesome to me because of our seniors. They are very talented and gave us training very nicely. They are very helpful and friendly ,whenever we needed help they always ready to help us and also solve our problems. After few days when i am use to of mine office timing and schedule. I am very comfortable and feel like my home environment.

Mr.Bipin Pandey, gave us projects in 4 members team. These projects help us, how to analysis? how to design database and also low level design ? and how this help us to develop the software and we also learned how to worked in team. Recently, we worked on live project which is performance review system which helped us to learn some new things.

Overall the training period was very good and I learned lots of things from it.

Sumant H Natkar:

Hi guys!!.I am Sumant H Natkar and i am from pune and following are my experiences which i have had in our company Web Access.

I can clearly remember the day of my interview which was scheduled on 6th May 2010 and i had come to the interview following the reference of Mrs Pravina Ranade.As i was coming from Pune i barely made it in time.There were twenty of us and following the technical rounds only two were selected from them one was me and another was my friend Jeyraj.
Now let me fast forward you by some days to 17th May when sixteen of us actually joined the company.I was nervous as this my first job and also the environment was completely new to me.Our first day very much consisted of orientation for us to the company environment.Soon our training period started which consisted of assignments,lectures and more assignments.

In the course of our training we were given two mini projects first of which was traffic monitoring system and second of which was the performance review system.Through these projects my perspective of what i was going to do in a software company underwent a complete 360 degree shift.My initial thought was what i had to do in a software company was code and only code.But in Web Access through these projects i came to know that not only coding is important but the thought process which goes into putting the system first on paper is of prime importance.This is regarding my project experience.

I also had funny moments which i can remember like the first time i made the tea in a microwave oven and the output was no tea in cup but all of it in the plate of the oven.

Yogesh D Kambari:
Hi all,
I am Yogesh D Kambari.I am From Vangani. I joined Webaccess on 17 August 2010.I got recruited here from NIIT,Thane. I was very nervous that how would be my first company? as I was knowing very little about company.

The first day was just like introduction.We had one test of java on first day.The actual journey started from next day.We learnt HTML,CSS,JAVASCRIPT,CORE JAVA ,MYSQL,AJAX from well qualified people.We got lots of assignment.We learn lots of new concepts by solving those assignments.Every Monday we all had to appear for new exam.Results used to be displayed on notice board.Test were also project oriented.

In our mini project Performance review System(PRS) we got many new things to learn like HOW TO IMPLEMENT AJAX,STRUTS? HOW TO DO ANALYSIS? HOW TO CREATE DATABASE?.and MANY THINGS…During Start of our project our project cordinate(Lisa mam) tolds us to spend maximum time on analysis but we were thinking why too much time is needed for analysis.But afterward we came to know the value of spending extra time for analysis as, we had to make very less changes in our flow of project during development.
Senior member were very friendly and helpful.They resolved our each and every doubt..One thing that I like most is that there is no barrier between senior and junior member. The company is working on the latest technology like Spring,struts which are evolving technologies.

I am very glad that I got the perfect start in my carrier.
