My First Experience in Software Industry

Alhumdullillah I am doing an internship in a software product MNC, a multi-billion US based company. The BMC Software. So far the experience has been absolutely tremendous. For a student just getting an opportunity to walk into a company is it self a big deal. I just cant thank enough my Rabb that he has given me the opportunity to work here for almost three months.

My work evolves sitting on the chair in front of company provided laptop for hours. What I do is that I am building a couple of plugins for BMC Remedy Developer Studio. The plugin will help the users of BMC Remedy Developer Studio in finding various resource while while developing products.

BMC Remedy Developer Studio is basically an eclipse based plugin. Therefore although I am developing plugin for developer Studio I am in deed learning a lot about the internals of eclipse workbench too. 

My exit profile will be an eclipse RCP/Plugin developer after this internship.

I am immensely grateful to my Lord for giving me this opportunity.

I am also highly in debt of Mr Amit Kumar Sriwastav for making it a reality.

More to come about my internship in a few days insha Allah

keep bumping into my blog

Interesting incidents during internship

In this post Ill share some of the intresting things which happened with me during my internship.
Ill start with the first day I entered into the premises of the BMC Software, Pune. I was staying with Mr Amit as until than I had no room. I came with him to the company riding on his motor bike. Pune is a big city but the system of public transport is absolutely a mess. If you want to travel a distance of 4-5 km on public buses do not expect to reach there in less than an hour. So almost every one except students who can afford their own vehicle everyone travels on his own vehicle. Most of the people driving have no traffic sense either so you have to be extra careful while driving. 
Sorry I was supposed to talk about my day in the company. Right?
Well we reached there its an nine floor plush building and to be honest I had never been into a software industry before. We walked to the reception, Mr Amit arranged a visitors pass for me and took me to the eight floor. I waited for him to arrange me a meeting with Manager in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is just cool. There are cafe coffee days coffee vending machines, Pepsi, other drinks, snacks available for free. Also for the guest.
I waited there until Mr Amit returned and took me to meet the manager. He made me sign the internship deal with terms and condition in there and asked me to read it carefully as its always asked but nobody cares  to read it. I too signed it without bother what it read.
