MS Pinoy Event: IT-Thesis (Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon?)

A very timely event was conceptualized by the core group of Microsoft Philippines Users Group (MS Pinoy).  On the 30th of July 2011, three experts will enlighten students  on what a thesis should be and what kind of topics and tittle is widely accepted in today’s academe.  Most students who are gearing up for their upcoming IT-thesis subject don’t have any clue how to start or how to come up with a good topic or a good title alone.  This event will give them lots ideas and how-tos in starting a good IT related thesis.  Speakers are:

John Patrick Oliveros - Microsoft MVP for ASP.Net/IIS, JP is one of the industry’s leading names in the ASP.Net world. He is also connected with the academe and is a goldmine in experience when it comes to IT and the academe. JP also serves as a trainer at the UP-ITTC at UP Diliman.

Edu Lorenzo - Microsoft MVP for ASP.Net. Manong Edu will discuss the parts of a thesis documentation and what should go inside each chapter

Marc Phoenee San Diego - His current focus is Mobile Applications development and Augmented Reality. Marc is a game developer by heart. As proof, his undergraduate thesis was an MMORPG game based on the local legend of Lam-Ang. His thesis won the national best thesis prize for his graduating batch, besting all other thesis submissions from all over the Philippines.

Since this will be a good event for students, I immediately send invites to some schools where I conducted lectures and seminars and I got positive results!  An instructor from from both PUP and STI Laguna has 25 students confirmed their attendance.  She was really happy because this event is very timely in their school thesis program.

I will be attending the said event to help and assist the participants.  Pictures will be posted here after the event :)
