The above links will be updated usually and apart form this you should check out some top US universities to find out what projects are they working on, so that you can get an idea what’s the trend now and where is technology heading towards?
And for any question I believe wikipedia will be of great help.

Whats this all about ?

Well I have been writing blogs for long time but now I feel I should start writing some technical ones. For this reason this blog has been created so that people can read what I have learned for their benefits. "ES0TERIC NOTES", Ya I know seems you must be sure now that I am really preparing for GRE, on other hand it simple means "technical notes”. Notes, which I believe, are something different than those dictated by our preceptors. On this blog, the topics that I will write will be mainly

Programming in C, C++, Java, Pearl, Python, Matlab and Simulink
Robotics
AI
Image Processing
DSP

(Please do not consider this as my resume add ons)

Now here and there I will write on current trends in technology sector because that is what we lack, our ANNA university syllabus teaches us 1980's stuff which is pretty much outdated, therefore I term the ANNA University syllabus as "RETRO" even though we do require them to understand the basics. Before I end this, I need help form each of you please help me out to design articles based on your needs.
This is what we call "Collaborative Learning".
