Technologies change, upgrade and become obsolete with time. Technology has the characteristics of ‘Time’ – it waits for no one. One of the hardest challenges for IT professionals is to keep themselves updated with the latest software technologies that they are asked to implement in at a moment’s notice. Expecting that the industry will wait for people to acquire these skills through years of study is wishful thinking. Even after undergoing hours of training, professionals find it difficult to implement their skills in the real world. This happens because more importance is given to theory over practical applications in the academic setting – which is poles apart from the industry setting. Once you enter the industry, you realise how fast you need to upgrade your skills to stay afloat in the competitive market. You need an equally fast platform where you can learn and upgrade your skills through hands on practice.

Hackerday offers one such platform for IT professionals to enhance their problem solving abilities, on different technologies by working on projects.
