This document discusses why engineering and computer science are good fields to choose. It notes that while graduates in these fields make up 5-7% of total graduates, they receive 40-50% of job offers each year. It outlines personal traits that may indicate suitability for these fields, like enjoying math, problem-solving, and taking things apart. It also discusses factors fueling demand like infrastructure spending and stimulus packages. The job outlook is very positive with projected growth rates of 17-30% for many engineering and CS jobs through 2018 and relatively low unemployment rates. Overall it promotes these fields as having high demand, good job prospects, and less vulnerability to layoffs.

In this presentation we present ten misconceptions that we have determined over the past ten years, as myths about Computer Science studies and profession
While IT and CS degrees can lead to similar jobs, the differences between the two are quite pronounced. IT professionals should enjoy installing computer systems, using software and maintaining networks and databases, while computer scientists should enjoy mathematics and software design.
Bachelor in Computer Application is one of the most popular courses among the students who want to make their career in the Information Technology area. It is a three-year undergraduate program that enhances students' knowledge and skills to meet the needs of the Information Technology (IT) industry. BCA is a course designed to give an insight to the students regarding various CS & IT concepts and their practical applications as well. TIPS, Dwarka offers excellent Placements in BCA colleges in Delhi NCR as enables students to grab promising opportunities available to them in the leading companies like Infosys, Amazon, Cognizant, Microsoft, HCL, Capgemini, Aricent, TCS, Concentrix, British Telecom, Network Bulls, IBM, and many more.

LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
