career shifting

[arush_81]

Hi


I have done B.tech in Electronics and communication in year 2003 from PTU.I am from chandigarh. I have worked for a company which manufactures and export EMI filters and power supplies for 1 year. Then I join HFCL and worked there for some time and I was not satisfied with the job profile so I left that. Now I want to switch to Software field.

Is it possible now. and what if.. then what skills should i aguire and from which training institutes who provides placement training programme

plz let me know

bye

Hi Arush,

Yes. you can move. But take steps very carefully which will help you in long term.

If you want to go in the same stream, better learn C or embedded VC++ language or VLSI designing.... I believe those streams will also consider your exp upto some extent.

But, not sure which instituetes are best for these. If any one has more info on this, please post it.

Thanks,
Krishna

dear sir

I have some knowledge of C and VB.

Nowfurther whichcourse should I go for--Java,.Net,testing or

RDBMS like oracle,etc. Which will be better for me as per job prospects.Plz give me list of some institutes whose provide training if possible...

thanks

hello



GUD THAT u want to make a shift but please analyse carefully reg ur comnmitment to this filed



1 what if u dont like this filed



2 what arte ur plans 4 this filed



3 simply learning new courses , how far it will help me



4 To what extent im capable of programming / analysing / testing in IT filed



5 which is best option to make a career in this fieild



6 what are the growth prospects



Enetring in IT filed is not that easy as we think . Its not that
i learn few cpourses i can do the job ...... Ultiumately when u join u
shud enjoy ur work .... so c to it n amke a decission



DONT WORRY THINK BEFORE U DECIDE (thatz what i meant )

The FPGA and CPLD market is increasing and is about to grow more than the ASIC market, both in terms of devices and value.
Companies like Xilinx, Altera, Quick Logic Cypress are the main Companies in this market.
Million gate devices from them are already available. PLDs are now finding applications in areas, which formerly were the domain of ASICs only.
They are used to describe hardware for the purpose of Modeling, Designing, Simulation, Synthesis, Verification and Documentation.
Support for VLSI design comes from companies like Mentor Graphics, Synplicity, Synopsys, Exemplar, Aldec, Xilinx. They have become the backbone of VLSI Design industry. All these tool support both, VHDL and VERILOG.Thus to support a rapid design FPGA boards are available in market to get the design done in few hours.
