WSO2 Field Visit
On 12th September we went to wso2 for a field
visit. It was organized by our Software Engineering Teaching Unit of Kelaniya
University. On that day morning we went to the premises at 9 o’clock. The
company was very eye-catching. There was a game area in the lobby also. It was
a 7-8 story building, situated in a very crowded area in Colombo.
The session was about technical writing. We gained so much
knowledge from those lectures which was conducted by the senior technical
writers in wso2. They gave us an individual exercise to do, but none of us got
the whole exercise correctly. They
taught us the paths which can be followed by us in the technical writing field.
They were surprised to hear that all of us are a blog for our own. Then we did
a group activity as a game we had to write instructions for a customer who is
using an ATM machine for the first time for withdraw money from his/her savings
account.
The group who won that activity got t-shirts from wso2. They
served us with refreshments during the break, we enjoyed a hot cup of tea. We
got a clear idea about the way we must write user guides, manuals etc. At last
there was another presentation and a fun activity. In that we had get into
groups and write 4 sentences about an object, but it had to be hard to guess by
other groups. The group that got highest mark was our group. They gave us a
chocolate box. We took photos with them. We learned and enjoyed a lot from that
memorable day.
