Sorry for top-posting I have also heard from many students that they can't do any projects in PHP/MySQL. Some months back a student from a self financing college in Ernakulam district approached my company for project but the HOD of the said college rejected the project without even looking into the project requirements, simply because it's a web application project. The same student told me that the HOD approved some projects based on networking which were actually copied from the project report of seniors.
I don't know why MCA(Master of Computer Applications) students are not allowed to do web application projects. Note that MCA is not a course to teach the programming skills. AFAIK, MCA is a course to expose students to the real application programming. There may be web apps which are substandard, but don't forget well written projects like Horde, Moodle, Joomla, Drupal, Gforge, VtigerCRM, etc.. I think that this is high time we should alert the academics that PHP/MySQL is not untouchable. -- Manilal K M : മണിലാല് കെ എം. http://libregeek.blogspot.com 2008/12/15 jinesh kj <[email protected]>: > hi all, > > I don't know whats the problem in using php or mysql or whatever it is for > acadamic projects.
