C/C++ Workshop

      Freshies and Programming same old story like every year :p Most of them come to university studying chemistry, physics and mathematics and then they are told the importance of “ ; ” :D All programmers can relate to this.
          So like every year freshies were thinking like programming :o ! What are they gonna do to fight this monster and ACM knew that a C workshop is a must for freshness or anyone else who is interested.

Event:
         The workshop was already there in our event calendar, dates were to be finalized and then seeing the availibity of resources like labs, instructors etc. and also facilitating students before their first one hourly test we choose 11th to 13th November, 2014 the appropriate date.The next thing was to find the right kind of instructors and this level it turns out to be fellow students always turns out to be the best and ACM SEECS chapter has always helped students in helping each other. So instructors were two final year students Nauman Imtiaz and Asadullah Ilyas. The help there was a teaching assistant as well named Taihami Tariq.
          The whole council worked hard for this event success but some who really worked were Bilal Khan (president), Anam Wajahat and Muhammad Waseem Khan. The venue was a lab in SEECS as it will be convenient for all.

Students taking the workshop
      The participants were mostly freshies, but there were other students also from other batches. The good thing was that there were also participants from other schools of NUST.
          The content of course were Basics of C/C++ programming covering data types, selection structures , loops , basic view of pointers and also covering basics about functions. The fdaily session was of 2 hours. Our instructors tried their best to convey knowledge to participants. The feedback we got from participants after the workshop was quite overwhelming and welcoming as most of them learnt a lot.
          The fee was only Rs 50 for non-members while the event was FREE for ACM members! All the attendees also got certificates.
           Like every time the event turned out to be a success and we were proud of our best. And we will continue to help freshies fight the monster of programming, when they tackle it the first time.
