Good Day one and all, I wrote a post – Being a Microsoft MVP exactly one year back, and now time has yet arrived to narrate a similar post, but a year older and wiser post. Earlier this week I was re-awarded with Microsoft MVP 2012 by Microsoft Corporation. I thank Microsoft Corporation and many [...]

Hello All, First of all I wish one and all a very happy new year 2012, may all have peace and prosperity through out and may this year bring the lights of eternal happiness along with fragrance of everlasting blossoms of joy into your lives. Coming back its been quite a bit of time since [...]

Documentation of code, arrrgh!!! Most of us hate it, but believe me its an important part in SDLC. Especially when it comes to maintenance of legacy code, Documentation is a life savior.

Writing Xml Comments in Visual Studio is not going to be a easy going task (for large projects it’s a nightmare too). So I started using GhostDoc, an extension of Visual Studio, which helps and makes Xml commenting comparatively easier. There are many other extensions available which give the same functionality in writing comments, but in this small JumpStart I would like to show how to get started with GhostDoc.

Oops!!! Difficult question to answer, and also fairly complicated topic to address. Especially in this century where the technical world moving (migrating) from Technology to Technology at a very good pace. ‘Which way to go?’ – is the most common question (precisely DOUBT?) which creeps into a developer’s conscience from time to time. For a newbie (a person who starts coding with delighted dreams to achieve something pretty quickly in short span of time, and immediately stumbles with bunch of compile errors…just kidding), this topic is a bottleneck which leaves him with many new questions – ‘What am I doing?’, ‘Where am I going’, blah, blah…and blah. I will try to address this most commonly raised flag (or skeptical thought) in a generic human way.

Let me get started by wishing you a very happy and prosperous new year. I wish this new year would be more delightful and encouraging to one and all.

“I am a MVP” – huh…a heavy weight sentence from my heart. Continuing with this post will let you know the reason why I mentioned it as heavy weight. First let me quickly reconcile a bit of my past.

Three years back when I first stepped into ASP.Net 2.0 coding, I am a very good Electrical Engineer. I did research in EE, Control Systems blah blah blah…, with a good knowledge base in EE and when everything going perfect in Control Systems Design, suddenly I started looking up (till date I don’t know the reason exactly) for something to make it as a HOBBY (folks knows, being an EE you tend to get mechanical body parts and analog signals in your mind at some or the other point, where we need some other option to take out analog signals from our mind). I want to paint, learn guitar, play sports etc (OMG – Immediately realized that those are not going to be my ALICES’ in my wonderland).

Two months back when I started to think about giving my first Microsoft certification – MCTS 70-536 exam, the first thing came into my mind is to grab a text book and start preparing for the exam. Immediately my book hunt initiated and obviously my first place to search is Microsoft.com. There I came across this worthy book, written by Mr. Tony Northrup, a MVP, MCSE, MCTS, and CISSP. I picked up the book in local bookstore and started reading it. Read More…

At times I think about the actual meaning to the word – HUMANITY. In my context of thinking, understanding and reasoning, I don’t think that the word humanity is used just because of being human. Unless and until I received the picture displayed below from my teacher Mr. P. Srikanth, I am in search of its (humanity) meaning. But finally I got to understand it (humanity) clearly and perfectly.
