TechShopsHands-on technologyCUTC is focused on encouraging our delegates to learn and experience new things. TechShop further endorses that concept through interactive workshops where delegates can learn new skills that incorporate interesting technology. It is a chance to participate in hands-on activities and learn about some of the key technologies and logical techniques that are used everyday in successful companies. TechShop enables the delegates to learn from experts in their field, and can offer tips on how to apply general knowledge and skills. The main purpose of the event is to give the delegates the opportunity to walk away from CUTC with a brand new skill. Essentially, we give our delegates a crash course in a topic, taught by industry leaders who utilize these skills for a living. There’s no better way for our delegates to learn than by the hands-on interaction that occurs in our TechShop events.  Times for each session are also posted on the schedule of events. Dive into Eclipse and the Web Tools Platform Project - IBMThursday Jan 20, 11:00a - 12:15p Eclipse, an open source IDE, can be extended to provide additional functionality to the platform. The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) project extends Eclipse and provides Web development tools including HTML and JSP editors, data and server access tools, and Web service creation and testing tools. IBM's Rational Application Developer further extends the WTP project and provides more advanced tooling including tools for developing Struts, JavaServer Faces and Portlet applications. In this tutorial you will get hands-on experience with some of the tools in the WTP project. You will see a demo of how companies like IBM leverage the existing tools by creating advanced tools which build upon Eclipse's base. The tutorial will also walk you through getting involved with Eclipse and show you how to access the source code, report problems and provide fixes.
Be More Than a Resume! - IvyrookThursday Jan 20, 3:30p - 4:45p Canadian companies need high quality employees to succeed, and over the next ten years they will be recruiting more university-educated candidates than ever before. However, the ability to effectively identify and recruit candidates is becoming increasingly complex for employers due to the sheer size of the graduating classes and the information overload from job boards. Many of Ontario's top students have been reduced to just a resume in a database and have become increasingly frustrated with the lack of opportunity and exposure. This workshop will show how IvyRook's shift in recruitment processes through an Internet connection will allow you to highlight the skills thatmatter to employers and showcase you on a national stage. Be more than a resume! Important: Bring your resume, cover letter, and picture in an electronic format.
