Apache Xerces Project as my GSOC 2010 project

I am really busy in these days as I'm creating the background for the project "Implementing a streamable subset of XPointer xpointer() scheme for XInclude" which is one of the Apache Xerces project idea for GSOC 2010.
While I was creating the Member Describer plugin for Anjuta IDE I worked with libxml parser and I had a determination to implement my own xml parser one day.So I think working with this apache project will give me a great support to achieve my target one day.On the other hand this apache project will help to motivate my open source development capabilities as well.
So far I had a self study on prevailing XPath expressions and I also went through the xerces source code by checking out the xerces trunk.Anyway I hope that I will be lucky enough to hold this project and to actively support the fully development with the help from Michael who is the assigned mentor for this project.

Heading towards the NDB project

I am spending my third week @ ironone as an intern and these days we are getting ready for the NDB project which will most probably be commenced from 1st march.Today and yesterday we gathered the requirements from the messy files given by NDB and reorganized them in a proper manner so that they are easy to be clarified when necessary.

It is really nice to be with ironees so that I can learn their procedure in certain certain cases and there are plenty of things to be learnt when consider how they face difficult situations.

We had several meetings with the project group and there we deal with the troublesome situations what we faced and find out the solutions for what the majority of the project team agreed on.Anyway We are fully focused on the project and try our best to make the event a success.

First day @ ironone as an intern

I am writing this while being in the Ironone premises on my first day.We had a brief introduction about how the things are going in here and it seems that this is a great place for someone to being an intern.The team of iron one are very friendly and they are willing to help always.I am not going on details as our lunch time has already begun.I have got my new mail address here which is sanjayal@irononetech.com.

Member Describer-a new plugin for Anjuta

I am really happy to mention that I have successfully finished the developments of my plugin for python users in Anjuta remaining one day to the final demonstration of the individual project.
If I describe about this plugin briefly it just gives a description of inbuilt python methods selected by the python users in Anjuta IDE.It gives the details like input type,Output type and a brief explanation on the method about its functionality.
When I begin this project before two months ago I had a little knowledge of C language.But now I feel that I have improved my C knowledge during last two months.IRC chat group Anjuta and Anjuta mailing list helped me a lot in the troublesome situations.Anyway I am not going to wind up my plugin development works from this plugin,but to develop another plugin for Anjuta in future.

IRON ONE-For internship

It gave me a great pleasure when a Ayya from Iron one informed me that I have been selected for having the industrial training @ Iron one.They had a brief conversation with me in the evening and I answered some of their questions.
I chose Iron one and ICTA as the training places for trying out my internship.And was lucky to be selected Iron one.I was really keen to join with them as they are people who always believe in "Can do" spirit.Now I am looking forward to join with them in February next year for my industrial training and give my fully effort to make their future projects success in my best while learning the new things and technical side.I hope I can have a great time period @ Iron one with full of fun.

Successfully connected

I was really busy through last few days as I was unable to connect my plugin to Anjuta shell.But ultimately this morning it was fruitful after a two hour effort.
Now I can move forward with the further developments of the plugin and I am really happy about this morning.It was a real self example to certify what a great thrill person who develops software can gain after succeeded any troublesome situation in a code base or in a debugging process.
As the final demonstration of the project has been postponed by ten days I can give a real effort to come up with a nice outcome.

Successfully accessing the xml data

There are only 10 more days to the final demonstration of the 3rd year individual project.My plugin to Anjuta IDE is still in progress.
The happy news is I can successfully access the xml data through my C code.But the sad news is there are still some difficulties of pluging the extension to Anjuta IDE.There are some errors occuring when I am trying to plug it.
Now I am on my way to develop the GUI part.I am reading some tutorials on Glade 3 and GTK+.Those are really very interesting and give a fair knowledge on developing the GUI.
I'll try my best to demonstrate a fair work in the final demonstrate on 17th this month.
