I have won an Ipad!

Last tuesday, OBSS has organized a competition in my university. It is called ITalent - Java Roadshow.

The goal is to be the first person to answer the question correctly. By answering the question, I mean produce the code which outputs correctly.  The winner gets an Ipad:

First Contribution to Vispy

Finally, my first pull request is merged!

I have tried to make a proof of concept for Vispy in the browser project. I believe I did a successful one.

I have managed to create a server which has two threads. While main thread deals with the visualization part, the server thread serves the visualization through a web socket. I have written an html/javascript client which receives png images from this web socket and draws these images. It should be enough for a proof of concept.

It is very simple to play with it. Try it here.

Next step: Interactivity on browser!

Hello GSoC

Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers post-secondary student developers ages 18 and older stipends to write code for various open source software projects. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.

I have applied to GSoC this month and I am very excited about it. I found an interesting project under Vispy (under the umbrella of the Python Software Foundation) that really suits my skills.  Vispy is a real-time interactive scientific visualization library written in python. Since web based visualization has a high potential, I have chosen to bring Vispy to the browser.

I hope I will be working on this project during this summer.
