More of the same web
Hyderabad,25th
July 2002:Net fascinates. The super information highway has opened the floodgates in
Hyderabad. Students joined in flocks in training centres to learn courses
ranging from web designing to sophisticated languages like the .Net. Learning of
languages and specializations has their own seasons.
If web designing was a craze some two years ago, it's .Net or Cold Fusion
nowadays. Obviously, it depends on the demand in the job market abroad and
within the country. But the Web continues to fascinate surfers as well as the
backend boys, who hope to hit it big some day or the other.
Or else, how would one explain continued presence of websites based purely on
Hydria city in the cyber space. There are more than two-dozen active websites
with only a handful aiming at generating some revenue for the hosting company.
If one were to take into account the web pages on servers providing free space,
the number of sites and pages on Hyderabad would run into hundreds.
Go to any search engine and punch `Hyderabad' as the key word. The engine throws
up hundreds of hyperlinks. If you are patient, go on checking the sites, except
six or seven sites, most of them contain the same information. Tourism spots,
list of bakeries, florists, movie theatres, events in Hyderabad, hyperlinks to
newspapers and other Government sites. Of course, a link to the page on Chief
Minister, Chandrababu Naidu, on the Government site `andhrapradesh.com' is a
very common feature. However, most of the sites have a very good page layout. Other comprehensive
sites include 'Reachouthyderabad.com'.....
