Interested interns

Ankur Verma

Being really fascinated with Hackety Hack v1.0 I learned Ruby and found this as a prodigious tool for beginners to write code easily. I will love to contribute to this project. One of my previous projects aimed towards developing a complete solution for problems faced by students in school using GSM technology. Besides this I have worked on several other projects[link] and gained a lot of experience in developing innovative solutions.

Anubhav Agarwal

Background I am Anubhav Agarwal pursuing B.E in IT from NSIT,India.I have a nice hand on experience on C, Java and SQL. In course of learning these varied languages I have understood the problems a newbie faces while acquainting himself with similar languages. This project is hence close to my heart.I have learnt Ruby in past few days and find it an interesting lang. as it really arms a newbie with powerful developmental tools with such an ease that no other lang. ever can. Contact me on anubhavit@gmail.com

If given a chance Ankur,myself & Vijay would like to take the project as a single team

Vijay Majumdar

I like learning different computer languages. And thus I know how to make it easy for newcomers to learn new languages.

Technical Experience I have working experience in PYTHON, C, C++ & JAVA.
