I bought 10 practice tests for ZCE, and today I tried one of 10. I successfully passed the 1^st exam.

Here is the exam result.

This result is not that much satisfactory, but courageous for me. It shows that I am very much weak in network programming and xml & web services section.

But at east I passed the first model test. And after completing all practice tests I hope that I will get the confidence for real ZCE Exam.

Before today I never tried for meshup. After having a conversation with Hasin Bhai I realized that I must have the knowledge on mashup, web services API and other techniques. Thanks to Hasin Bhai for such an informative conversation.

Even I never tried any REST services before, because I was impressed by soap based services. Today I started with Yahoo APIs.

I found a nice tutorial on Yahoo API, Whip Up a Yahoo! Mashup Using PHP at Sitepoint. The tutorial is based on REST.

The object oriented technique covered by the tutorial was not optimized enough, but a good start for a novice.

Now I am looking forward to mashup using Flickr API.

I was shocked after creating my free Paypal account. I was really unable to add some fund. Cause Paypal doesn’t support any kind of fund transfer method available in Bangladesh.

Few days ago I managed to add some fund to my Paypal account from the account of USA friends using Paypal request for fund option.

And last day I do my first shopping using the cash. As I am preparing myself for PHP Zend Certification, I need some practice test on PHP. Toward fulfilling the goal I bought 10 practice test from Zend.

By the mean time I am studying some literature like php | architect’s ZEND PHP 5 Certification Study Guide. Hope I will complete the book by the next week. After completing this book I will start having some practice test I bought. Also, due to weather problems in my city, I decided to buy a branded umbrella on my website www.branded-brolly.co.uk The goods that I brought in made me very happy and now my friends are wondering where I bought it.

I was with PHP for last 4 years. During this long period I learned PHP and its related technology in my own way. As a self learner my approach was mainly based on problem solving. When I faced a problem I tried to solve this and dig this. Most of the problem I solved in my own way with the gathered knowledge, as a result the solution was not that much solid & efficient. But they worked without any pain.

During the last year I learned most of the cutting edge technologies of PHP-MySQL development and web standards.

I never think myself as a sound PHP-MySQL developer but a PHP-MySQL lover. I was always thinking of being a ZEND Certified PHP programmer. But I could not find the right way of getting me prepared for exam. You know exam is different than practical, here you need a lot of theoretical knowledge.

But it’s good for me that I have started preparation for ZEND exam. Thanks to Masud Bhai, who gave me the PHP|Architect’s ZEND PHP5 Certification study guide. Thank also goes to www.scribd.com from where I have collected lots of Book for PHP, MySQL, Linux, Web 2.0, AJAX and web Security etc…

And my book collection is increasing day by day. Hope I will disclose all the books in a post when it will be completed.

During this period I learnt lots about web security & password security in PHP. I am writing a complete class for secure user login and hope I will share the class with all.

Wish I will sit for ZEND Exam ASAP.

Though it is a government holyday, I passed the whole day in different way and gathered a lot of experiences in setting up a complete networking system with active directory.

I took to working remotely, working from home, as my father has been requiring a bit more constant care with his age. Of course I’m glad to help him, but it is affecting my productivity a bit. I found a company called Home Care Assistance North County and they think they provide specialized at home care; hopefully this ends up being exactly what I need. I’m going to go over to their offices at Home Care Assistance 9050 W Olympic Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90211 (310) 857-4767 and talk to them for a little while. If I’m right I’ll be able to get back to working full time soon.

KBK Structural Design, LLC is a USA based leading out sourcing company in Bangladesh in Structural Steel Detailing and Designing. I am a former employee of this company.

Networking is the very important facilitie for KBK. IP based Printer and Plotter are connected to the network to serve for all. I never installed any IP based printer and plotter before. Even I have never installed or maintained Windows 2003 Server or Active Directory for any organization. This is my first experience too.

I started working at 9:00 AM and first I installed Windows 2000 on some computer then I started installing the server. The pain started when the printer was not working properly. It took me 2 hour to make the printer working the way I want. After installing the printer I installed the plotter in just 10 minutes. But I was surprised to be able to get connected to the printer and plotter through telnet. Telnet played the key role in setting up the plotter device.

Finally I returned home at 8:00 PM.

I have very little knowledge on C. With this little knowledge I am helping a student of EEE department of BUET. I am requested to help in writing a program to perform addition and multiplication of two large number. In C there is no builtin datatype for large number and as a PHP programmer we are not bound to data type like C. So this is a quite tricky for me. As I am require to work and munipulate with string type variable. I always hate the hassle of C in case of Char type variable. Finally I am end up with the following program to perform addition.

This is a simple c program to sum two big number using c programming language.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<ctype.h>
int chrtoint(char a){
int i;
for (i = 48; i<=57; i++)
if (toascii(i)==a) return i-48;
return 0;
}

void main(){
char n1[80];
char n2[80];
int rs[80];
int c1, c2;

int i,j,m, cmax, sum;

printf("Enter First Number:");
scanf("%s", &n1);
printf("\nEnter Second Number:");
scanf("%s", &n2);
c1 = strlen(n1);
c2 = strlen(n2);

strrev(n1);
strrev(n2);

cmax = c1;
if(c1<c2){
cmax = c2;
}

m=0;
for(i=0; i< cmax; i++){
if(c1==c2 || (i < c1 && i < c2)){
sum = m+chrtoint(n1[i])+chrtoint(n2[i]);
}else if(i >=c1){
sum = m+chrtoint(n2[i]);
}else if(i >=c2){
sum = m+chrtoint(n1[i]);
}
rs[i] = sum%10;
m = sum/10;
}

if(m){
rs[i]=m;
i++;
}

printf("\nResult: ");
for(j=0; j < i; j++){
printf("%d", rs[i-j-1]);
}

}

Hope I will solve the multiplication problem soon.

The final session of the Faculty Development Program, 2008 was scheduled to held at Padma Resort, Munshigonj at 22nd February. This was a nice venue. Thanks to VC sir for selecting such a nice venue.

I am working at presidency university for last 2 years as a part time employee. During this time I developed Presidency University Student Information Management System. We call it SIMS. SIMS is a university autmation system to handle student management.

From January 1st, I joined the Presidency University as a fulltime employee as Database Officer. PU is a nice place for job. I wish PU will be a nice place for me too and I will enjoy the opurtunity to gather experience here.

Though I am a Civil Engineer, I enjoy programming very much. That is why I have decided to do programming job.

During my job at PU I will try to improve my skills in developing enterprise application based on Web technology.

Today we have launched the group Presidencian. This group is meant to be a common place for all members of Presidency family.

Especially for those who have completed their degree from the Presidency University. Hope it will be a successful group…

 Today, 15th November, 2007  

The topic of our thesis is “Buckling of Column with Two Intermediate Elastic Restraint”.

The objective of this thesis is to derive a set of exact stability criteria for Euler columns.

It was the day of our undergraduate thesis defense. We are four members in my thesis project. Among them Misbah has completed his thesis interview on emergency basis. So we three were to perform today. I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit nervous. I did my best to prepare, I used plenty of online sources like https://www.vocationaltraininghq.com/how-to-become/hvac-technician/. Those worked well and I feel ready, but sometimes nerves will get to you anyways.

We were informed that Vice Chancellor, Registrar along with all teachers of the department and an external faculty will be present there. So, it was a very formal defense. 

I had taken my preparation sincerely because I was the presenter of my group. And this was my first presentation in my life. Finally, I performed well among all the presenter of today’s program. And we were able answer all the question asked by the faculty.

So, this is a very good day in my life.

Thanks to Allah
