My work at XYKA

It is really quite long time to post the new happenings in my life and learning ... As the title says, I’m currently working with XYKA as Project Lead. The interesting part working here is the current project. Xyka owns a travel product and is now integrating with different partners across the globe towards reservation related issues. My interest is not to disclose the internals of the product, but to throw light on what I’m working.

The UI of this product is common for different partners that are integrated with this product. As the UI is in-place working fine and with out errors, now it is the time to develop an interface to integrate the same UI with one of their other partner. The partner results data in XML Format and this product expects data in a Class objects. Now it is my turn to work on XML DataIlands to convert these pieces of data from the partner WebXMLInterface to the product’s class objects.

A picture is worth of 1000 words, here comes the picture..

The partner system exposed as XMLWebInterface, which accepts XML Data as POST and returns XML as GET. I’m using HttpWebReqeust from System.Net classes to post and get responses from the exposed interface. One of the interesting tasks that I’ve ever done in my life.

What do you say?

Common mistakes by Interviewer

Now-a-days am conducting few interviews for our organization. While sitting in the other side of the table, I've visualized why most of the interviews fail with me. But when conducting these interviews, most of the candidates are attending with self confidence that they are suitable for the mentioned role and attend without preparation. When people do some real preparation, they tend to fail due to lack of awareness at the interviewer towards interviewing techniques. Having failed in many interviews, I've learned that the interviews fail because of the following... Reflection (or) Mirroring: The interviewer tends to see self within the candidate. The interviewer starts to compare self with the candidate and evaluate. This evaluation is totally personal. The yard stick for measuring the candidature is not generalized, but influenced.   Template (or) Checklist: The interviewer has a template of a questionnaire. The interviewer measures the candidate with respect to the list of st

Keep the system active, to avoid the auto lock

Most of the corporate offices will have a policy for screen locking. While working with a long running applications at background, like the automation scripts for testing the applications, it would be difficult to maintain the unlock state of the screen. Thus, we found a technique to keep the system active with a cheating technique. Below is the powershall scripts that keeps the system active ' I am clicking on NUMLOCK for every 5 seconds to keep the system awake Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")'to get user name numOfHours=inputbox("Hi " & objNetwork.UserName & ", How many hours you want me to be awake? :->") 'time variable conatins the time in hours Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Creating an object for clicking keys from keyboard numOfMilliSecs=numOfHours*3600*1000 'converting hours to milli seconds While numOfMilliSecs>0 'runs until tym becomes zero WshShell.Send
