It’s really a great opportunity provided by IBM. I participated in TGMC 2012 as a 3-member team, “Target Strikers”. We have learned so many things due to TGMC. I didn't know anything about J2EE even more in java when I started. And today my 2 team mates and I have all secured jobs in Wipro thanks to TGMC!
