Growing with Tekriti

Here are some of the achievements / experiences while working with Tekriti since last one year.

1) LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) - I have almost never worked on Linux before. So it was little difficult changeover from windows to linux as I was working on windows from last 8 years. But now I get used to working with linux and feel comfortable developing web applications on it.

2) CMS Training (Drupal) - When I joined Tekriti, I don't know much about Content Management System. But now, I know sufficient to provide training sessions on CMS to new joinees in Tekriti.

3) Strict Coding Standards - I have initiated the process to follow strict coding standards (w3c, code formating) as some of the developers are not following it. Our GoingOn team was first to announce that GoingOn code follows 100% W3C standards.

4) Web 2.0 - In my last company, I was working with the traditional way of web development. But at Tekriti, I come to know about web 2.0 technologies (ajax, rss, social networks, cms etc.). Here we are using web 2.0 technologies in our web applications and also integrating with other third party web 2.0 technologies like Newsgator, Salesforce, Opinity, Eurekster etc. in our web applications.

5) Client Communication - Tekriti has given me an opportunity to interact with clients. I do written communicate with client using e-mails. I think, it's bit difficult to write an e-mail to client than code because you can't do hit and trials there.

6) Working with Genius People - Last but the most important, yes, it's true that I am working with genius people. I think, this is the most important thing in any body's career. If you are not working with right people then you can't grow with the speed you want. You get lots of energy, enthusiasm and passion when you are working with genius people.

I would like to specifically mention here some of the names who are directly responsible for my growth are Ashish, Gaurav and Manish. I also like to thank all the Teknokrats for my growth.

Simple Meditation

Set small goals, such as meditating for two minutes every morning. When that feels OK, up the time to 5, 10 or 20 minutes. 1) Find a comfortable seat - where you can sit up tall, either crosslegged on the floor or in a chair. Close your eyes or soften the gaze so you are not focusing on anything in particular. Place the hands with the palms down on the tops of the thighs. 2) Take a moment to notice the sensation of sitting - become aware of the ground or chair beneath you, and the parts of your body in contact with them. Now bring your focus to your hands, noticing the weight of them on the thighs, and the feel of the fabric of your clothes.  3) Now begin to notice how your breath feels in your body as you inhale and exhale. Make no effort to change the breath, simply let your natural breath flow in and out. 4) Aim to stay focussed on these sensations of the breath, but when you notice the mind wandering, acknowledge the thought, then come back to the breath again.  5) When yo...

Custom MySQL Database to Drupal 8 Migration

Image
There are thousands of websites which are using MySQL as database. If we need to migrate data from Websites, which are using MySQL database, to Drupal 8 then we can use this blog post as starting point. We have a sample MySQL Database 'mysql_custom_db' which contains two tables, users and pages. The data in 'users' table looks like below,   The data in 'pages' table looks like below, As all the fields in 'users' table, from source database, will map to User entity in Drupal 8 site so we don't need make any changes there. But as we are migrating 'pages' table data to 'Basic Page' content type in Drupal 8 site, so we need to create required fields in 'Basic Page' content type. We have created the fields in 'Basic Page' content type and it looks like below, In our migration, field mapping between source site (pages) and destination site (Basic Page' content type) is like below, city...
