Happy Republic Day!

Hi MSSS Aspirants,

Happy Republic Day to All!!!

Apart from being a part of the Republic Day activities, today's holiday can be utilized well for speeding up the preparations for the upcoming Mid-semester examinations on 11-12th Feb 2012.

As observed, all the subject's lectures are being held with regularity and with diligence. I am finding the subjects for this semester a bit hard.

Advanced Operating System Lectures are giving me shivers as it involves a lot of problem solving in the Lamport’s logical clock, vector clock, causal ordering and others.

Network Security seems a bit theoretical till now!!

Best wishes!!

Also if you are facing any issue with the course content, "Question&Answer Forum" link at the same location as given above is a great place to start with!
