I had started working on Hand Shadowgraph two years back for Intel's perceptual computing challenge. It won me a pioneer prize in that.
The project was so interesting that I continued working on it. Finally in RealSense challenge got trailblazer award for this.

After several iterations and almost after two years, the app is ready for distribution and awaiting Beta pass.
Feels great to share with you that the app is selected in APEC2015 to be held next month in Taiwan.

I really want to thank the community here who has mentored me and taught me to code. I am specially thankful to my friends Pete O' Hanlon and Adam Hill, who were instrumental in supporting me through me difficult times and disappointments.
After I was down due to the fact that I was not rewarded as par expectations in PerC challenge, Pete told me that as a developer I should take pride that we have done something that is closed to my heart and must enjoy the experience in coding such a complex project.
Adam have been an extremely important friend who has guided me with UI design. He has taught me what a design means and how to develop taste. How to work with responsiveness.
The works of Marcilio, Sasha in WPF and so many other articles and codes were so much valuable.
I also want to thank Kevin Preiddle personally. He has been such a strength of support. I have shared with him literally every build's video and he has watched and commented 
I have never pitched ever. So I do not know what I am going to do in the event. But I am going to work on Pete's advice of going out there and enjoy.
If you have any suggestions or links that could help me with my preparations, I would welcome that.
Once more thank you every one for being such an inspiration and support.

Even if I haven't helped you - and I don't think I have - well done, and I really hope it goes well!

You have been literally mentor to all of us. We owe you.....

Where would you like me to send the invoice?

It has been a pleasure and an honour to be your friend through this journey. I look forward to bigger things coming your way.

 Aww, is the caveman all envious den?
Exactly the kind of comment that guarantees she'll have work to do a-plenty yet!

What kind of work is that pray tell? Tell us about her contribution to humanity that warranted the Nobel peace prize.

They give that prize to whoever is in the news that week.

And one got it just because he wasn't a Bush.

Add look what we got!

It says more about Bush than it says about Obama.
But it says most about the Norwegian "Peace Prize Jury".

And when you're at it. Make that a list for the others as well.

Apart from the initial blog chastising Government for the lack of commitment to female education and failure to protect schools from Taliban attacks, and the public lobbying for universal education which had put her in line for prizes across the world long before the assassination attempt, you mean? Oh, are you another one of these people that thinks she only became famous for being shot? The inaugural National Peace Prize in Pakistan awarded a full year before the attack says different.
Since then she has publicly admonished Islam in a speech given worldwide coverage for hiding behind the excuse of God give strictures to discriminate against women and deny them the right to education, told the American President that drone attacks are too indiscriminate, petitioned the Pakistani Government to ensure universal education by the end of this year, spoken at Harvard, the Oxford Union, and a string of other events across the world and, putting her money where her mouth is, opened a school in Lebanon for Syrian refugees.
More than enough to warrant the dozens of other prizes and honours she has received both before and after the attack, sufficiently terrifying to extremist parties in Pakistan and hard line Islamists across the world to warrant a continuing torrent of death threats, fatwas, and negative propaganda, and certainly enough to warrant better than knuckle-dragging, sexist comments about her weight (not that she should need to have done anything at all to warrant freedom from that kind of remark!) Yet, strangely, never enough to satisfy you and your cronies below apparently. Can't help feeling that that says a whole lot more about you than her somehow.

Interestingly I saw a very god program about this on the BBC, it is shocking.
Let me say though in relation to Malala, where are THEIR peace prizes? THEIR awards?
Do you see what I am getting at? How come this girl is showered, literally, with praise, when so many who have paid even more aren't?
By the way, isn't your sig a bit personal and therefore illegal?

It definitely took courage on her part to stand up against the established order of things

Hello out there,
I do hope this is the right to place this question, if not sorry. I have been in IT for over 20 years now and am sick to death of being a server administrator. So I have been programming on and off for years (nothing serious at all, just for fun) but now I want to do something different.
I have been taking courses on some languages, PHP, C#, .NET MVC and have made the Hello World program (oh boy), some MySQL access with C# and PHP, but I need to step it up a bit. Does anyone know of where there may be a group of programmers that are working on some project just for the sake of making it that might let a noob in to do some base level coding?
I’m not looking for a job, just some coding in a project environment.
Thanks

There's a gazillion open source projects on GitHub (including a few of mine, haha) and I'm sure some would be willing to do some mentoring.
As mundane as it sounds, one thing you might offer is to help document/comment someone else's code -- it's a great way to learn things, and it contributes to the project.
Speaking for myself, I can always use help on my projects ()[^] the most recent of which is a neuron simulator project[^] that I'll be posting here on CP once I clean up the code. Hint: "clean up the code."
If you're interested, email me directly, as I quite enjoy mentoring.

If your experience is that limited, it might be worth putting off trying to join an existing project, simply because it's unlikely any of your code will make the "final cut" - novice code tends to be...um...rather poor quality, and most projects aren't started to provide beginner training!
And it's demoralizing to see code you slaved over ripped out and replaced with a two line method...
So I'd suggest that you pick one language, one environment and try to build up your experience there. I'd suggest that you install SQL Server Express on your PC and try building a couple of "bigger than homework" C# projects on it: A music library for your MP3's that plays them from within the library app for example, or a bug reporting and tracking system. Both of those are quite a bit more work than they seem, and they provide a stable project that you can use and decide you hate and need to rewrite six months later!

I think this is good advice, two of my first projects were an MP3 player/library manager allowing me to update all the id3 tags en-masse and a film library catalogue that scanned the films in a directory on my PC and displayed the IMDB information alongside them.
Both of these had a practical use as well as just to learn coding.
