For the last few months, I have been researching and playing around with .NET, Java and other innovations in the software space. These new platforms bring new concepts to the Software development process. For example, Aspect Oriented Programming simplifies traditional contructs like logging, etc.
There are a lot of innovative software projects that are experimenting with entire software development process and I am trying to figure out their impact in the real world.
At the same time, there are large questions floating around. Outsourcing and Globalization is changing the software world. The Internet is breaking down a lot of barriers but like every disruptive technology causes pain. How will it all end up. There are a lot of questions that need to be asked and debated.
I plan to write a series of articles and invite feedback to refine them.
Have a great Thanksgiving weekend! This is the right time to reflect and give thanks for all the gifts showered on you.

I re-posted a few blog entries that I had made few years back to i3Connect's internal message board and Gyanquest.net. The main reason for posting them is Wordsmith, my current blogging tool, allows me to look back and learn more about my decisions and thoughts at that point of time.

Don starts with explaining with why the CLR is better than COM and moves to the fundamentals of the .NET framework like components, assemblies, types, domains, security, etc. He presents an indepth view on how the CLR works and how to interact with it.
If you are a hardcore .NET developer or architect, you need to read this book.
If you are a Java fanatic, you must read this book, so you can explain better how Microsoft copied Java concepts :-)

Thanks to Robert Scoble's interview on .NET rocks - I found out about Skype. It is a P2P telephony software that works really well with NATs and firewalls.
It is created by the folks that brought you Kazaa and you can find it at www.skype.com.

Companies make you fill an Interview form that helps their HR with data collection. Everyone who has interviewed with a big company has had to fill this form.
One of the strangest forms I have seen had a Blood Type as one of the questions. I know that there are companies in the world that want to suck the blood out of their employees but I did not they had a preference for the type of blood :-).
I can see their management going - We need to get in more AB positive people, their blood is on the sweeter side.
Any more strange forms like this ?

The idea behind this presentation is to explain how to use a Customer Development Model as a Navigation guide for Product Development. This is the first version of the presentation and I plan to expand and refine this in the future based on feedback.

Understanding the customer's problems and coming up with a solution is really more complex than it sounds. I have created a small presentation that will help you create a framework for feeling your customer's pain and resolving it. I plan to post this next week.

Looks like social networking software is the new hot thing. The ease of use of such software or web services which allows transparent group communications will hold the key between success and failure.

I am creating the India Software SIGs group to help create two non profit Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that will operate in the Indian Software community. These monthly gatherings will facilitate networking, learning and expertise sharing amongst business and technology professionals.
For developers and managers, the Technology SIG will cover technology issues like .NET, Java, Web Services, Business Intelligence, Enterprise Applications, Security etc.
For those more oriented to the business side, the CEO and Executive Management SIG will help entrepreneurs learn from their peers.
To help create these non profit SIGs, please join this group to help co-ordinate formation and running of these SIGs.
