The training - Week 1: What's this all about?

17-22 April 2011 - Technology Training Week1: Why are we here?


Leaving Mumbai - The trip from Mumbai to Pune, where the trainig is held, took approximately 3hrs. Our guy in Pune is Raj, who came to meet up and briefed us about what to expect starting on Monday, 18 April 2011.

Bye Mumbai...

Pune - Finally, the real reason we came all this way. This training initiative is a partnership between RMB and Nihilent Technologies headquartered here in Pune. They have a large operation is RSA consulting in major banks. Most of the guys we met, both junior and senior, have worked in RSA even if for a few months.

The big idea for this programme revolves around career and personal development. It's a 6-7 week programme and covers various aspects of technology in the space of software development, both the theoretical and practical aspects. Week 1 essentially focused on Development Best Practices (methodologies), Data Modelling and Technology Architecture overview.The practical part, where we get hands-on experience in applying these concepts, will only start in Week 3.

Agile Scrum methodology

Layered architecture



The Spring framework


Likes:The content is presented by specialists in their technology area, they apply this stuff (almost) daily. Unlike when we first learnt of these concepts, with our little work experience, we are able to engage the presenters on the application of these ideas and principles, specifically in our work environment. That way, we are able to contextualise the learning, given that RMB is not a technology company :)

 Looking forward to Week 2 which has ITIL and CMMI scheduled.
