MUFIX-JUG .... come true !!

After long time of searching and wondering why not we have a java user group at our university,since we have very good active community -MUFIX- .I was seeking for being JUG since 6 months as I know it will be very useful to our community and we will be recognized as one of Affiliated SUN micro systems Group through JUG and as a JUG we can host very good Events by Famous Evangelists like Sang Shin ,Roman Stroble and Greetjan Wielenage ,That's why we are interested to be JUG.

I have started searching and contacted with help support in SUN micro system,no progress :S ,but we know before we have EGYPTIAN JAVA USER GROUP leading by Ahmed Hashim and we are proud to be member of it .I thought there is only one group per country before , but I noticed more than one group in different countries ,when I knew that Hellwan university founded JUG .I became more enthusiastic to found one since we achieve almost of creating Successful JUG post by Ahmed Hashim .

I contacted with JUG Program manager and showed him our recently activites organized by mufix communtiy and how we are able to organize international celebration days like Fedora day and Software Freedom day.I take this chance to thank him more , he was very respondable with me and replied to all of my queries.I created project page for MUFIX community at java.net ,and sent to him our data to plot MUFIX-JUG on official JUG map so now we are very happy and proud of being MUFIX-JUG and looking forward to do more activites by such ways help our students to very good developers aware of all latest technologies ,I wish total number of volunteer students doubled this year since we are participating in many activities need more works and sure they will require more volunteer to develop our community

Get the best for SCJP Exam !!

Hello All,
Now SCJP certification become one of the most important sun certifications for java and it's simple to take it ,coz SUN will consider you as a Java programmer .There are many JProgrammers didn't take this certification although they are very well ,but taking this certification become more important than before specially to raise your rank as a programmer and also it's bonus for you to find better job than you have
For Fresh Graduates ,it becomes very important as the competition to get a job is difficult ,companies filters CV and they select the best ,when they you know you are a SUN Certified it's a good advantage for you
I'm talking here ,how to get the best for SCJP Exams,There are many who took this exam ,I will try to share their trial for you ,so you can be familiar with SCJP :)

First , I will talk about Technical side.There are many books for SCJP Certifications ,but most of People who took it , recommend this book <SCJP Sun Ceritified Programmer for Java 6 > , download it from here,you have to schedule your time so that you finish studying this book very well in two months then turn on MockExams or Testking Exams of SCJP ,for sorry there are only MockExams for SCJP1.5 not 6 ,this will may lead to take SCJP 1.5 not SCJP 1.6 .Someones study SCJP 1.6 and enter the exam of SCJP1.5 because of mockexam :S .Any way that's mockExams I have found here.
An Important Question you ask to yourself ,Am I ready for the Exam ? the answer is

The best way to convince yourself that you are ready is to consistently score well on mock exams. In general, most mock exams provide a good indication of how you will score on the real exam. (If anything, the real exams are said to be slightly less difficult than the mock exams. But since the real exam is usually the last one taken after a series of several mock exams, candidates are most prepared for that one.) As a general guideline for confidence, you should consistently score about 10 points higher on the mock exams as you hope to score on the real exam. -- from javaranch.com
Now you are thinking more interesting in the exam ,you have to buy its voucher and take it, But there an important thing ,you can get voucher discount as the exam cost is 300 $ , so read the steps of getting voucher discount and try it

Finally , Exam results , many of exam takers has passed on :)) that's very well ,they said that was because of Mock exams :)) ,lets see some samples who took the Exam

OSUM Opening Ceremony at Menoufiyah Univeristy !!

yesterday 25/02/2009 we announced the opening OSUM Community channel between MUFIC [Faculty of Computers and Information] and SUN On-Campus for Universities which called [O]pen [S]ource [U]niveristy [M]eetup-OSUM .I planned for an Opening Ceremony event in our univeristy First I asked SUN for Giveaways for students.I requested 100 Netbeans ,100 Opensolaris ,100 Sun studio DVD ,500 Brochures ,100 Pens and 25 Bags . I got almost of my order except the Bags ,they weren't enough.it was great when I got all
these Giveways .

I decided to create an Event for OSUM opening as a Ceremony and tell ,encourage students more and more to join OSUM
I discussed with MUFIX-Community , how to organize this event and How to distribute the giveaways ,because I was expecting much more student to attend ,but we have limited number of giveaways
In the morning I saw around 200 students who want to attend this event. it was impossible because the lecture room capacity is 120 students.. but the total number of students was 180 as I guess :)) How come ?? I dunno , ask MUFIX how they could allow all of this number to attend :))
I started speaking about OSUM Overview and which is it ? ,then I moved to tell students how to register at osum and how to get benefits about FOSS technologies and enthuse them to join our group at OSUM Menoufiyah Univeristy-Faculty of Computers and Information
I focused on 5 reasons to join OSUM as a student

• LEARN about Open Source Technologies and how they are opening up new career opportunities for students
• ACCESS free online web courses, webinars, tutorials and other resources to prepare for career enhancing certifications
• SHARE your technical knowledge with other students around the world virtually and on campus
• COLLABORATE with a global community of students via forum, campus events, webinars, etc.
• CONNECT and make friends with students around the world who are committed to Open Source just like you

Students were very happy about this session, it was so useful and enjoyable for them
Also I talked about SAI [SUN Academic Intiaitve] as an Education system by SUN so students can get free online courses , Certifciation discount and Exam ePractice
we distributed around 90 Netbeans CD ,95 Sun studio ,500 Brochures and 75 Pens to Students almost of students were happy of that and few who couldn't get any giveaways were a bit angry.I promised them we could get more giveaways per month
before I did this Session ,there was 13 member only registered on OSUM and now the number is 49 member :)) I expect to reach 100 in this semester ISA..
it was so nice session at MUFIC and one of the memorable and big attended events in MUFIX-Community
It may be my last session at MUFIX to speak in :( I hope the youth [MUFICians] complete our route and keep on as we were always

Thanks MUFIX for everyThing , really I love you :)

Someone may be surprised when I wrote I graduated in 30/11/2008 ,No it's false but that's the date of my Graduation Party. yeah my graduation party was delayed more than one year after I was graduated,that's because of many Reasons :S .The Only Sad thing is many of my friends couldn't attend it because of different reasons

Nevertheless this day is one of my Favorite days ever , really I was so happy when I meet my Friends ,it was so long period since I was with them :) before

my Happiness in this day was due to I'm with my Friends whom I missed them more ,really at MUFIC.In That day I was in MUFIC as a student with my Friends ,What a sense Am I miss for long time
I feel many of times that I'm alone because all of them leave it and I'm the only who still in it :S but I used of that :) One of the Important Life Moments was in that day ,I [Hamada] was the graduate who will speak with names of all 2007 and 2008 MUFIC graduates ,it's a great honor for me ,also I can't deny that I was so worried really .it was my first time to do some thing like that ,Al Humod li allah bfadel Allah then -with prays of my Parent and my Friends , I did it very good as They told me later :).ISA I will never forget this Moment

I will miss my friends more :S after Graduation.I hope all of my colleagues have a good luck and best wishes in their Life.I will miss them more and that's was the last chance to see them ALL Together :) only ISA the Incoming Occasions will be by chance .
Anyway that's the life group people together ,to spread them out later :S Finally I would like to thank my friends for this period we enjoyed at MUFIC together it was the best one in my life I'm proud of that.First they are my colleagues and second my Friends
