Blogger vs WordPress Blog

All,

There is always an excitement and authentic feel when we read/blog/refer any of the MSDN Tech blogs. I follow quite a bunch of MSDN blogs and always prefer reading over any other non-Microsoft blog post. I start referring first -MSDN documentation and then PG team blog or PM's blog for better clarity. 

Blogging is not new to me, Yes -I am an award winning Microsoft blogger(from Steve Ballmer :)) writing for the past 10+ years in WordPress medium(started originally in Live.spaces.com later moved). Being a blogger, I always love to share the interesting tech stuff/code which I read and tried for better understanding and also valuable feedback from readers. I greatly believe in learning by sharing

About me: I am a passionate C#.NET developer & technologist started my career in 2004. I had an opportunity to work with various Microsoft Technology projects in Web and Windows for the companies like Sobha Renaissance IT, Sapient Global Markets and Thomson Reuters. I stared as dev for ASP.NET 2.0, then Window forms, back end developer(Windows/ Web services/WCF) etc. Mostly worked on WPF/XAML app development, performance tuning, design and delivery of projects and products for Healthcare, Trading & Financial market domain. 

Currently I work for Microsoft GTSC(19 months+) by fixing/troubleshooting/assisting some of the complex Office Developer programming issue. I work pretty much everything related to Office developer stack like VSTO Add-in, COM-Addin, OpenXML, Office Apps/Add-in, performance tuning, WinDBG debugging(managed) and also experienced with various troubleshooting tools and techniques. 

My hobby & passion: I have an innate passion for building/studying/architecting enterprise software systems. I follow Cloud news from the initial stage(early adaptor) and tried various hands-on offerings from Azure and AWS stack. Apart from technical stuff, I spend time with family & friends, market news, travelling, @MahesKBlr and reading non-tech books :)

What to expect here: I have told myself and going to limit by blogging only codes/hands on experience with Microsoft Technology offerings -.NET /XAML/Services/Azure. 

Some of my all time favorite quotes:

"Learning to write programs stretches your mind, and helps you think better, creates a way of thinking about things that I think is helpful in all domain" - Bill Gates

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." - Thomas A. Edison

"The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die.'' -Friedrich Nietzsche

"You have a dream. Go get it. Period." -Chris Gardner 

// Happy Blogging !
