This was quite alarming from the point of view of Infosys as they will have to put extra efforts to train the fresh recruits.

 

Mr Hari urged all students to take up coding more seriously and try to perfect it. He said that there are no shortcuts to being a good coder and practice is the only way to go forward. He asked all the students to code beyond what is prescribed in the syllabus. He said almost all will be able to write code but it is more important to write good coder. He mentioned a few of the best practices followed in the industry and named some of the open source tools to check the quality of the code. He stressed on the fact that due care must be taken to make sure that all coding standards and conventions are adhered to when writing codes. This makes the code more readable and ensures better understanding, if and when the code has to be reused in future. He mentioned that reusing and scaling is the essence of coding and the coding standards ensure these aspects.
