After doing some basic Google searches, I realised that there weren’t enough samples out there that would demonstrate WCF how-does-it-hang-together conceptually. Therefore, I decided to put together one such sample.
Hardly production / best practices compliant, the aim of this article and adjoining sample is to familiarise readers with the key classes and semantics involved […]

How many times have we heard the phrases, such as:
Oh, I did not really mean that…
You should understand what I really mean…
I said that, but, how can I mean such a mean thing?
So many times at work and in relationships I have seen people say things that they either do not mean, or at least […]

The human mind is probably the most complex biological machine in the world. Millions of chemical synapses form neural circuits that enable interconnectivity with the central nervous system. The central nervous system in turn is responsible for, umm, everything!

This dates back to the years when everything seemed to come in limited quantities. This was before the world was hit with so called Affluenza. When little was more. Or at least, enough.

I have had to deal with the case of mistaken identity for as far back as I can remember. I am in fact, the John Smith of India. Okay, more the John. For some reason Amit is probably the most common name in India. Especially, among the males born in the seventies. I disagree that […]

I have been around in the sysdev scene for a fair bit. However, I have been able to very skillfully steer clear of this beast: JavaScript.
I could take my fair share of middle-tier, cross-platform integration, design patterns, and anything OO in just about any programming environment. However, ask me to write more than a couple of lines of JavaScript […]

I am now officially part of the community. After owning this domain name for nearly three years and seeing several friends cave into the temptation to join the ‘blog-world’, I have decided to give it a go…
I don’t know what I am going to do here or how long this will last. I would […]
