DZone - ReLoaded

6th September ’08: It was a Saturday, our project lab day. I called Devesh and told him about all the talks of the previous night. Then I called Rajesh and all the three of us went to the CSE Department, to ask for the permission for the workshop. As was doubted, Siddharth Sir immediately said about the grouping creep. But anyhow, we convinced them that it was an independent event.
“But what will you people teach?”, asked the teachers, Anuj Sir & Manish Sir.
And we were blank, as none of us had any idea as what was about to be taught.
“Sir, we’ll survey all the students and ask them what points do they feel like to be taught well. We’ll share our Computer experience with them”, was my master reply.
“Ok, try it.”, replied Manish Sir, the CSE faculty.
Very soon, I was in the 3rd year CSE lecture room and inquired them. I told them that we shall be organizing a practical workshop on computer languages and if they would be interested in that. The response was over whelming. Quickly, I decided that it would be latest website development technologies, different platforms and Operating Systems, and computer languages to be covered in our workshop.
I showed the response sheet to Manish Sir, CSE department. He immediately agreed and in a few hours a notice was on the display about “A Practical Workshop on Computers being conducted by Devesh, Rajesh & Arpit.”
After we came back home, from the college we decided the name of the workshop being OZONE, and I asked Rajesh to design the logo for the same. He did.
But, just before the new notice being printed, I decided to change the name from OZONE to DZONE- The Developer’s Guide.
The reason for the name change won’t be disclosed.
Later, started our sleepless nights and class bunks, preparing the content for our workshop. All the presentations were prepared manually by the three of us.
