11th Frames Film Festival

Consistent effort and initiative by Mass Media Department of SIES college (South Indian Education Society) marks a successful 11th year as one of the media PR head exclaims that such events boosts the networking and adds to the BMM education experience of the students.‘Framing Beyond Borders’ much true to the tag line of the 11the Frames Festival, the focus and purpose of the event is to create a bridge and platform for interaction between the industry and the students thereby acting as a catalyst of everlasting change through the medium of sharing and learning.

Every academic year the second year students of the BMM (Bachelors of Mass Media) course, SIES college, rope in to host the film festival which showcases audio visual medium of expression under specific categories. The students not only coordinate with the various colleges in Mumbai and India but they also network with some International institutes for entries under the specified categories. The young students get an opportunity to showcase their filmmaking skills to prominent personalities from the media and the film industry. Frames, was held on 6th, 7th and 8th February, 2014. The theme of this year is ‘Cinema Globalization’ as it is believed that globalization has significantly changed trends and patterns in the film industries worldwide. 

The event was inaugurated by Bijoy Nambiar, writer, director, mostly popular for his acclaimed short films, Rahu and Reflections. The event witnessed the presence and support of the stalwarts from the media and entertainment industry, Deepa Bhatia, Shamla Bhaskar, Sanjay Gadhavi, Sanjay Jadhav, Parvin Dabas, Farhad and Sajid, Rahat Kazmi, Mazhar Kamran, Girija Oak, Ajay Bahl, Sunil Tiwari, Nilay Moonje, Namit Das, Mohan Das, Siddharth Maskeri, Leslie Lewis, Shruti Pathak, Shibani Kashyap, Nitin Pathak, Yashpal Sharma, and Gulshan Devaiah.

The jury for the animation category consisted of Siddharth Maskeri and Mohan Das. The students were enlightened by the insight given by the jury on Indian cinema, world cinema and animation as a medium of film making, the trend and the challenges. The audience that primarily consisted of BMM students and few animation/vfx students were inquisitive of the future of animation film making.

Mohan Das, Festival Director, LISFF 2014 (Lakecity International Short Film Festival) mentioned that irrespective of the fact that a film is greatly done, the distribution, publicity and promotion is integral part of taking a good concept to the height it deserves.
Mohandas shared his experience of being part of various era of filmmaking and being witness of the changes since the days of Madhumati until today, as being phenomenal. His observation and experiences as a filmmaker on Indian cinema and world cinema was very educative. He has been part of many film festival across Indian states and is headed to attend coming up Darbhanga International Film Festival soon.

Siddharth Maskeri was glad to be present at the event, it being his first experience of being a jury at a student-driven film festival, he expressed his joy of well structured and managed event. The Tilak ceremony at the entrance was amazing he recalled while conversing with the audience. The jury praised the entries in the animation category and mentioned that it was a commendable effort of the students that will surely reach far and wide.

When asked if the animation is a medium that can only reach to the kid audience, Siddharth smentioned that the medium is a choice that a filmmaker makes to give justice to his story, subject and the way he envisions the treatment, the age group of the audience is decided as per the genre of the story and treatment. Tom and Jerry is loved by all age group and films like Waltz with Bashir is an adult oriented subject, he added further.

One change that can bring awareness about animation films and education is to educate and expose students at the global level, the educational institutes are the channel to bring the change through rightfully mentoring the students at the beginner level. It is as involving as studying medical and becoming a doctor. The doctor only saves life, in animation we give life to each character, explains Siddharth.

The jury was asked to provide their insight on where do they see the animation industry in the next 20 years, to which they mentioned that there is a vibe of positivity and awareness of animation much more that what was 15-20 years back. There is knowledge of scope, choice of education institute in India and abroad and job opportunities. People are aware and serious about animation medium and there is a definite hope that the industry will thrive many talents as seen outside India.

Names of the few animated films screened were, Emma, Deadstar Monsters, Mint Boss, Addiction, A Drop, No War’s Land and Roadside Rockstar
The industry stalwarts praised and appreciated the sheer energy of the fest. They mentioned that the entries are very creative and mentioned that some of the entries were mind-blowing. This has surely motivated the BMM students of SIES College, who have kept the promise of hosting awesome show since past ten years. Way to go!

Easy places to Start your Web Designing Dream....

Where should you start?

There are plenty of useful online resources that teach the basics of web development. Sadly though, there’s no single tutorial that is good for everyone at once. I have selected a couple of websites that I have been using during my pursuit of becoming familiar with coding.

Dash

Dash teaches HTML, CSS, and Javascript through fun projects you can do in your browser. The good thing about Dash is that is teaches the basics trough real-life scenarios, such as “Anna’s friend Jeff needing a custom theme for his poetry blog”. The code is written in the browser and the lessons are leved-based. Is indeed is a fun way to learn the basics for a web designer, sadly however, only four projects (lessons) are available.

Codeacademy

Codeacademy is also great when it comes to the basics of web design. It also offers interactive lessons and it has more programming languages on the table than Dash. Codeacademy starts with HTML and CSS lessons (they call them Fundamentals), which is truly the right selection for the beginners. After the Fundamentals are completed, you can choose to learn jQuery, JavaScript, PHP, Python or Ruby.

I also like Codeacademy because of two separate parts it has while teaching coding: theory and practice which is devided into web projects or APIs. This means it works both for complete newbies and for ones that want to go dig deeper.

Treehouse

While Treehouse is paid, this learning platform has a huge selection of both programming languages and systems (such as development tools or design) to choose from. Treehouse also features videos. It also has Tracks – different goals that you may set for your lessons such as Becoming a Web Developer, Becoming a Web Designer or Learning HTML and CSS. It is very useful if you’ve got a spare buck.

W3schools

This set of tutorials is a very popular one. w3schools features both tutorials and references – the latter are often being explored even by experienced web developers. The website features lessons for popular languages and technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, PHP and jQuery. It also teaches servers, databases and other vital stuff, it has more than a thousand of code examples. It’s free. While Dash is somewhat better for newbies, W3S is very handy even for the professionals.

LEARN JS

While JavaScript is somewhat advanced and I would not recommend it for you as the first technology to learn, it is very good to learn if you want to work on making web plugins or mobile apps. This is very much in demand right now, so it’s a handy programming language to know.

Learn-js.com is your first port of call should you decide to go JavaScript. It features an interactive board that allows to try the code you just wrote. The lessons are both basic and advanced.

What else?

Every developer knows stackoverflow that has millions of questions and a similar amount of answers, plus a vibrant community. It has saved billions of man-hours and it will definitely save some of your time.

Speaking of communities, Mozilla also has a great one with lessons and tutorials widely available.

And of course, you should check net tut+ with thousands of tutorials for most of issues and challenges beginners may come across.

Looking into Application State (ASP.NET)

Introduction

As we all know, web is stateless. A Web page is recreated every time it is posted back to the server. In traditional web programming, all the information within the page and control gets wiped off on every postback. To overcome this problem, ASP.NET Framework provides various ways to preserve the states at various stages like controlstate, viewstate, cookies, session, etc. These can be defined in client side and server side state management. Please see the image below:

Figure: Options available to maintain the state

There are lot more written about most of them. In this article, I am going to explore mainly Application state,Application events and Application Objects.

Application LifeCycle

So, as first ASP.NET Application Lifecycle. One needs to really understand the application Lifecycle, so that one can code efficiently and use the resources available. Also it is very important to discuss, as we are going to Application level events, objects, etc.

ASP.NET uses lazy initialization technique for creating the application domains, i.e., Application domain for an application is created only when the first request is received by the web server. We can categorise Application life cycle in several stages. These can be:

• Stage 1: User first requests any resource from the webserver.
• Stage 2: Application receives very first request from the application.
• Stage 3: Application basic Objects are created.
• Stage 4: An HTTPapplication object is assigned to the request.
• Stage 5: And the request is processed by the HTTPApplication pipeline.

I'll explain the points one by one.

Stage 1: The Application life cycle starts when a user hits the URL by typing it in the browser. The browser sends this request to the webserver. When webserver receives the request from the browser, it examines the file extension of the requested file and checks which ISAPI extension is required to handle this request and then passes the request to the appropriate ISAPI extension.

Figure: URL Processing

Note 1: If any extension is not mapped to any ISAPI extension, then ASP.NET will not receive the request and the request is handled by the server itself and ASP.NET authentication, etc. will not be applied.

Note 2: We can also make our own custom handler, to process any specific file extension.

Stage 2: When ASP.NET receives the first request, the Application manager creates an application domain for it. Application domains are very important because they provide the isolation amongst various applications on the webserver and every application domain is loaded and unloaded separately, and in application domain an instance of class HostingEnvironment is created which provides access to information about all application resources.

Figure: ASP.NET Handling first request

Stage 3: After creating the application domain and hosting environment, ASP.NET initializes the basic objects asHTTPContext, HTTPRequest and HTTPResponse. HTTPContext holds objects to the specific application request asHTTPRequest and HTTPResponse.HTTPRequest contains all the information regarding the current request like cookies, browser information, etc. and HTTPResponse contains the response that is sent to client.

Stage 4: Here all the basic objects are being initialized and the application is being started with the creation ofHTTPApplication class, if there is Global.asax (It is derived from HTTPApplication class) in the application, then that is instantiated.

Figure: Multiple requests processed by ASP.NET

Note: When the application is accessed for the first time, the HTTPApplication instance is created for further requests. It may be used for other requests as well.

Stage 5: There are a lot of events executed by the HTTPApplication class. Here, I have listed down a few important ones. These events can be used for any specific requirement.

What is Web API and why to use it ?

Asp.Net Web API is a framework for building HTTP services that can be consume by a broad range of clients including browsers, mobiles, iphone and tablets. It is very similar to ASP.NET MVC since it contains the MVC features such as routing, controllers, action results, filter, model binders, IOC container or dependency injection. But it is not a part of the MVC Framework. It is a part of the core ASP.NET platform and can be used with MVC and other types of Web applications like Asp.Net WebForms. It can also be used as an stand-alone Web services application.

Why Asp.Net Web API (Web API) ?

Today, a web-based application is not enough to reach it's customers. People are very smart, they are using iphone, mobile, tablets etc. devices in its daily life. These devices also have a lot of apps for making the life easy. Actually, we are moving from the web towards apps world.
So, if you like to expose your service data to the browsers and as well as all these modern devices apps in fast and simple way, you should have an API which is compatible with browsers and all these devices.
For example twitter,facebook and Google API for the web application and phone apps.

Web API is the great framework for exposing your data and service to different-different devices. Moreover Web API is open source an ideal platform for building REST-ful services over the .NET Framework. Unlike WCF Rest service, it use the full featues of HTTP (like URIs, request/response headers, caching, versioning, various content formats) and you don't need to define any extra config settings for different devices unlike WCF Rest service.

Web API Features

1. It supports convention-based CRUD Actions since it works with HTTP verbs GET,POST,PUT and DELETE.
2. Responses have an Accept header and HTTP status code.
3. Responses are formatted by Web API’s MediaTypeFormatter into JSON, XML or whatever format you want to add as a MediaTypeFormatter.
4. It may accepts and generates the content which may not be object oriented like images, PDF files etc.
5. It has automatic support for OData. Hence by placing the new [Queryable] attribute on a controller method that returns IQueryable, clients can use the method for OData query composition.
6. It can be hosted with in the applicaion or on IIS.
7. It also supports the MVC features such as routing, controllers, action results, filter, model binders, IOC container or dependency injection that makes it more simple and robust.

Why to choose Web API ?

1. If we need a Web Service and don’t need SOAP, then ASP.Net Web API is best choice.
2. It is Used to build simple, non-SOAP-based HTTP Services on top of existing WCF message pipeline.
3. It doesn't have tedious and extensive configuration like WCF REST service.
4. Simple service creation with Web API. With WCF REST Services, service creation is difficult.
5. It is only based on HTTP and easy to define, expose and consume in a REST-ful way.
6. It is light weight architecture and good for devices which have limited bandwidth like smart phones.
7. It is open source.
