I always used SVN for managing my projects, that was the case till last year. Though Drupal.org moved to GIT too few years back, I did not completely move to GIT. The main reason was the comfort level. Of course GIT offer plenty of good features but SVN was also not bad, and most importantly I was the only developer on those projects.
Since last year our team has grown and we now use Bitbucket only for managing our code on git repositories. At Sparxsys we offer Drupal development at really competitive prices and our main USP is to deliver fast. Some of the projects have common functionality so we re-use the code of other projects. This may not be true for big complex projects but if we get a requirement for a relatively simple site with standard dynamic features for managing the content…
Few days back I had a great experience of organizing JIRA Training in Cognizant Chennai. It was a 2 day training program which I conducted in their training center.
Cognizant has several offices in Chennai but they have this particular building where all the trainings are organized.
I could not get the picture of all the participants but here are some of them. Most of them were experienced developers with 3+ years of experience.
The main objective of the training was to make them comfortable with JIRA so they can install, customize it as per their requirements.
There was even one participant from US who attended the session online and he was some senior guy who is responsible for managing big JIRA instance with more than 1 lakh users.
Apart from the standing JIRA Training content,…

At sparxsys we are now planning to do more challenging work than ever.

I was passing by India gate last week, living in delhi we usually ignore the places and monuments by I thought I will stay here for some time to click some pics using my new #Blackberry #Z10 in HDR mode.
Drupal Camp Delhi (DCD) is the largest watering hole for the Drupal community in India, and the most consistently held Drupal event across the country. It brings together the Drupal developer, business and student user community. DCD is organized by the Indian Drupal community, in association with the Free Software Foundation of India.

My 9 month year old Daughter started walking today. My wife and parents mentioned earlier that she can walk without support but never believed it until I saw her walking quite comfortably today. I recorded this video quickly to capture this moment.
Time to celebrate now.
These things used to look silly to me but when you become parent then only you realize how much happiness these moments brings in the life.
Every week I prepare one report in Excel with lot of graphs. The data in the excel sheet is added in every report and the graphs that are generated based on that data are of course also updated. The client was satisfied with the report but asked me to preserve the color of the various countries that appear on the stacked bar chart. Initially for couple of weeks I didn't really paid much attention but then the client got little demanding and requested me again in harsh tone to do it. I still use Excel 2003 and not sure whether this feature is there in 2007 version, I guess not. After searching on the internet I did found a solution that requires creation of a macro that can be used to hard code the values and assign them specific color.
Here is the code. I hope it will be helpful to you.…
