BACK FROM LONG HIATUS

Hey guys, it's been a while and I apologize for my silence as I have been working on some products at work that has had my undivided attention for about 7-8 months. I have not been good at blogging all that has been happening but I will try to be better this time around.

What's Krakin now?!

Well, I have been busy writing webapps using asp.net mvc 5 and asp.net core mvc all this while and I have to say that Microsoft really make a mean framework. It is just better than anything else I have used from other programming languages. It has been very rewarding and transforming. I decided to prepare and write certification exams so watch out for a new professional coming soon! 😎😎

I also have been playing with python, which I have long admired. If you haven't tried python, I suggest you do. Microsoft is positioning python for great things ( R & Python as tools to be used with SQLServer, Graph etc). I have been looking at Flask MicroFramework, Django & its been fun. I am hoping to get a Raspberry Pi so I can take my experiments to the next level.

Happenings in Tech now

I was able to stream certain Key Note addresses during the just concluded Microsoft Build and I have to say I was blown away by the things that Microsoft is doing now. This new Microsoft is the one we should have had a long time ago but I guess its still okay that we have it now. I have not been surprised by the progress made by .NetCore, AspNet Core and other open source initiatives by Microsoft, I actually expected it as I thought it was the way forward for a progressive Microsoft. Also Google Cloud taking on .NetCore support in Beta is proof of success. I will write about the applicability of AI and a lot of the things announced at BUILD 2017 for people here in 3rd world countries and how that there will need to be serious thought before the benefits of such advancements can be beneficial on an everyday scale. When I say everyday scale I mean, will applications be affordable and easy to adopt? Anyways that's for another article. 

Cheers everyone and have a great year ahead.
