Short 4-Hour Class On Improving Software Development Processes

A short, fast track 4 hours workshop on Improving Software Development Process is going to held on Friday 9th April 2010 by Humayun Quershi. Out of 370 members of PASHA and PSEB, only 14 qualifies CMMI level II but most of them can't afford certification cost. But I think its great chance for us to learn how to improve our processes. Further details on workshop is given below.

خدا کرے کہ میری ارض پاک پر اترے وہ فصل گل ، جسے اندیشہ زوال نہ ہو یہاں جو پھول کھلے، وہ کھلا رہے صدیوں یہاں خزاں کو گزرنے کی بھی مجال نہ ہو یہاں جو سبزہ اگے، وہ ہمیشہ سبز رہے اور ایسا سبز ، کہ جس کی کوٴی مثال نہ ہو گھنی گھٹاٴیں یہاں ایسی بارشیں برسا ٴیں کہ پتھروں سے بھی روٴید گی محال نہ ہو خدا کرے کہ نہ خم ہو سر وقار وطن اور اس کے حسن کو تشویش ماہ و سال نہ ہو ہرایک فرد ہو تہذیب و فن کا اوج کمال کوٴی ملول نہ ہو، کوٴی خستہ حال نہ ہو خدا کرے کہ میرے اک بھی ہم وطن کےلیے حیات جرم نہ ہو، زندگی وبال نہ ہو خدا کرے کہ میری ارض پاک پر اترے وہ فصل گل ، جسے اندیشہ زوال نہ ہو
