Hi to all, I am Arulalan . T doing Final year M.C.A in Saveetha Engg College , Chennai. Now I am studying fifth semester. This semester we have " Software Project Management " ( Theory Paper ). For this subject having one lab, namely called , " Software Development Lab " . In this lab, we have to do 10 small projects. I planned to do all the following syllabus projects using " Ruby On Rails ". But my Staffs are not supporting to do this semester projects in other Languages. They preferred only " VB and ORACLE" , because they know that only. Even though I was fighted with them and finally, they said OK to do in RoR. But now my HOD is opposing to that. He s asking me, while doing " University Practical Examination, the External examiner will not accept your projects means, what can you do ? " . what can i do ? Give me all your suggestions ! and I need NRC FOSS support to do my 5th sem simple projects in Open Source(RoR). ( * they doesn't oppose to do my final semester projects in Open-Source *) How can i approach this problem? http://www.indiastudycenter.com/Other/Syllabus/AnnUniv/PG/MCA/MC1804-Software-Development-Lab.asp Syllabus of Anna University Chennai MCA - 2005 Regulation - MC1804 Software Development Lab Develop Software using CASE tools for the applications like : 1.

Text editor 9. Telephone directory 10.Create an E-Book of your choice Software required: Languages: C/C++/Java/JSDK/Web browser. Any front end tool (like VB, VC++, Developer 2000) etc Any backend tool (Oracle, Ms-Access, SQL) etc. Any CASE tool ( * they preferred " Rational Rose " . I preferred " Umbrello " for CASE TOOL* ) -- நன்றி , அருளாளன் . த ---------------------------------------- Dear Arulalan, In the web site, it is clearly mentioned as "Any front end tool", "ANY BACKEND TOOL" and "ANY CASE TOOL". It did not mention, not to use Open Source. So, you can approach the university and submit your grievances. Of not knowing about open source tools, the external examiner cannot refuse your genuine project. If they not agree, they accept that they are incapapble of learning new technologies and unfit to validate your graduation!!! Please do not hesitate to approach the higher authorities of the University. Regards, Rajendhran Love Cricket? Check out live scores, photos, video highlights and more.
