From the origins in Palo Alto, BarCamp is an unconference, meant for knowledge sharing and learning.BarCamp is an international network of user-generated conferences (or unconferences). They are open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants.
The first BarCamps focused on early-stage web applications, and were related to open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. The format has also been used for a variety of other topics, including public transit, health care, and political organizing.BarCamp makes their organizational process freely available. In addition to the BarCamp-branded network, it is also a model for user-generated conferences in other fields and for more specialized applications.

The focus of BarCamp Guwahati was emerging open source technologies.Barcamp Guwahati invited technologists, programmers, developers, designers, and Geeks to a day long of unadulterated geeky Barcamp fun.

after the presentation ..

We had a fair share  of joinees and got a lot of response and appreciation .I personally had taken a session on OSGi , along with Faruk Ali Ahmed who is a software engineer. It was a day long event and a very intresting one too.The open house quiz held in between the sessions were very refreshing. A bright day spent along-with bright minds.


Hoping to witness and be a part of many such thought provoking events :-)

Difference between HTTP and HTTPS

HTTP and HTTPS

The main difference between http:// and https:// is It's all about keeping you secure HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients.
The important thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS.
The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure". If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://. This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecure' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site. This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an http website!
But if the web address begins with https://, that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.
You understand why this is so important, right? If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive information like a credit card number!
