Following the Ada Seminar last month, I was invited to be a judge for FYP (Final Year Project) 2008 at UTAR FICT. There were 3 judges including me. The other two were FICT lecturers (seated from the right). The event took place this afternoon from 1430-1700. This time, all selected projects were software development by nature. Almost all of them were web applications. The finalist projects were online help desk system (web based), web based document management system, activity tracker and costed BOM analysis (web based), web based document template system, progress chart management system and unified interface for video and event management system.
Presentation was generally good except some of the presenters were unable to manage their time properly. As the result, insufficient time to demonstrate their applications with full details.
Compare to the last two FYP judging I had attended, a slight improvement in the way students presenting their projects, the selection of finalist projects and the judging process. There was no over-ambitious projects this time round.
I was giving an Ada talk at UTAR (PJ Section 13) this afternoon. The venue was changed from PD108 (B2) to a computer lab on 2nd floor. This was the 2nd talk (first talk at MMU on February 25) after 3 years of inactivity. I have added quick introduction to Ada2005 to the original slides. I’ve also added some video clips about Ada I found from some Ada web resources.

The applications will be developed and deployed on Mac OS X. The company chooses Mac OS X because of its reliability and robustness as a platform for web applications. The company has no plan to develop on Linux and other Unix at the moment.
The demand of cross-platform applications is increasing as businesses trying to reduce IT expenditure by moving to open source software such as Linux. The web applications running on a web server which can be accessed by any clients regardless of their operating systems render the traditional computer programs (platform dependent executable binaries) useless under multiple OS environment.
Web applications can be deployed on server running Linux, Mac OS X or Solaris. Its clients can accessed the applications from any computers running different operating systems using any web browsers on local and remote network.
By moving to open source operating system such as Linux, businesses can save thousands of dollars in software licensing scheme.
