I attended a seminar yesterday morning about the Philippine National IT Standards or PhilNITs (formerly known as JITSE). It offers a Fundamental Exam (just like a certification exam) which will provide better career opportunity for the IT Professionals/Engineers here in the Philippines and abroad.

Our speaker during the seminar was the President of Innovus Computer Solutions - Mr. Rodrigo Basa. The seminar started with an introduction about the Technology in Japan which is now moving from E-Japan (Electronic-Japan) towards U-Japan. U-Japan means Ubiquotus-Japan wherein ubiquotus explains that all things are connected in a network.

Going down to the main topic, PhilNITS Foundation is implementing a Certification Program on the Fundamentals of IT (FE), adopted from the Japan Information Technology Engineers Examination Center (JITEC) an office under the Information Technology Promotion Agency, Japan.

I became interested to the PhilNITs exam and I am planning to take it on October. But first, I must prepare for it of course. The exam will cover different kinds of IT related subjects such as Programming (Java, C, COBOL, C++, Assembly), Project Management, Embedded Systems, IT Concepts and Theories, Algebra, Computer Architecture and a whole lot more.

I downloaded the past exams given at http://www.philnits.org/ and I can undeniably say that all the questions were really complicated. Anyway, I was not the only one interested to this exam. Many of my friends, classmates and schoolmates were interested too. So I will not be the only one that will possibly fail…(hahah!!) But of course, we’re still looking forward to it…

See you soon Japan!

This program will check if the input is a palindrome or not. A Palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units which spells the same in either reading backward or forward. Commonly given to students as a machine problem or project. Please include the stdio.h and string.h

#include
#include
#define size 26 char bin='y';
char strsrc[size];
char strtmp[size];
isPalindrome(){
strcpy(strtmp,strsrc);
strrev(strtmp);
if(strcmp(strsrc,strtmp)==0)
printf("\nEntered string \"%s\" is palindrome",strsrc);
else
printf("\nEntered string \"%s\" is not palindrome",strsrc);
printf("\n\nEnter another string? Y/N ");
scanf("%c",&bin);
gets(NULL);
bin = tolower(bin);
if(bin=='y'){
main();
}
}
main(){
while(bin=='y'){
clrscr();
printf("\n Enter String:= ");
isPalindrome(gets(strsrc));
}
}
