AJAX is nothing fancy! You just need creativity to make it look good instead of like a Times New Roman vertical scrolling marquee.

@Aravind,

Nope. They don’t. They expect you to know stuff. IF you want to do it form some other source, you are welcome to. Do leave a word here. I’d love to know. Having said that, coding does require you to read up, you know.

@Vinod,

I must say, you are beating me at my own game. Typing really long comments (in my case, that no one reads. )

You will gather in Infy ofcourse. I don’t really know about Ajax. I think i’ll have my plate full, just with these books. Nothing extra for me.

Well Karthik is right about memorising the syntax. I think you can’t survive if you don’t do that. It’s a kind of memorising We get used to it once we start doing the programs but if we lose touch then we might forget it. So we need to memorise it for sure to keep it in our mind for a long time. And about the books. I think even the CS/It students need to have a go through these books before coming to Infy training. Thats what I am going to do. The training will be tough this time. They will try to filter out as many as they can because the U.S. recession is affecting our market and IT industry like a tornado. So they will filter out many this time. I can’t take the risk. I will go through the books once before coming for training as I forgot many things that we learned in our syllabus in these four years (though I didn’t learn much which was useful but still I got few basic information that was good enough to help me out in few places). So I need to recollect all the things that I learned and also learn few new things. My bro wants me to learn about the Ajax technology So my summer holidays are going to be busted this time. I planned so many things for my summer but now it seems that almost everything is impossible. Noooooo
For the first time I am posting a comment this long. ROFL

haha that was good one dude, of you not tolerating our college name in your blog, i can feel how much your affected by this ****ing college ha. Yeah, i accept we gotta memorise syntax stuff, but i know few people who do the same with the program also.

@Rachel,

You can definitely memorise syntax and to an extent you have to. (Normally you are supposed to get used to it with practice) However, programming itself cannot be memorised. To be a good programmer, you need to have programmed on your own.

And your title for me was derogatory in nature considering you attached the college name to it. So I am editing it.

P.S: You will notice that any reference to our stupid college name is not tolerated on my blog. (Infact I need to add it to spam)
