By using Views Slideshow module we could simplify the procedure of developing a slideshow in Drupal. As per the requirement I have found one feature lacking, i.e, a full screen option. I like to introduce a script that would turn slideshow images to the size of browser window. That is, it would turn image or html element to the measure of view port maintaining the content quality. This would be useful for setting an image as background of a page, so that entire viewing area would be covered.

The development and testing of the project were completed as per the schedule, but “content migration” was in a dilemma. He had more than 700 events and each race club had to be added as content. This data was available in a database called “Filemaker”. We had not anticipated this much content. We were at a vulnerable state when the client said that he will not pay us the additional cost for migration as it was our responsibility to confirm the number and format of contents before development. At first, we started adding those contents manually. But we realized that this just was not feasible. The client gave us a day’s time and asked us to come up with a solution so that the migration could be completed with less few of people and days

The Initial Days I joined Zyxware in February of 2012 as an Intern. I just graduated fresh out of college and was not at all aware of how corporate life functions. I remember hearing my cousins/seniors talk about clients, projects, on sites, etc. All this fascinated me deeply though I never really understood what it meant. The internship was for 3 months during which rigorous training was given mainly focussing on Drupal and PHP. Once the training was over, I was accepted as a Software Engineer Trainee in the organization.
