5:08
this is my neighbor's house, if you see that on the screen. In other neighbor's house, a little bit far from me, there's a tree
5:16
So Simon, if you can zoom on on that little tree. This tree is the first tree tells us that, yes, fall is here

This tree changes three colors in like next two weeks we will see three or four
5:27
color changes on this. This is also the tree when spring starts this is the one

5:37
half of the leaves are almost red and orange that tells us that yes fall is

5:47
beautiful here that a lot of trees they changes their leaves. You know I was in

9:45
private limited this company is you know growing like you know the big time though the company is
9:51
small um and i'm holding a position of you know since the company is small uh you have to play
9:58
multiple roles so that's what i'm also playing it so i'm a chief strategy officer and chief
10:04
technical officer too and sometimes i become a developer too so uh this is what the you know the
10:11
company structure and my role is and the about the company is you know company is almost 18 years old
10:19
and i would say it's not old 18 years young you know and uh it has a specialization on you know
10:26
creating a mobile developer mobile applications web applications then ar vr and a lot of you know
10:35
the data mining other tasks too so these are some of the specialization we are having it and
10:45
and i'm pretty happy that you know we have a line of experts with us so any domain any type of work
10:54
which is coming to us because you know we are a custom software developer too like and we never
11:00
ever you know rejected our customer like you know say uh we can't do it we do not have that expertise
11:06
our experts are always say that let's try this and you know what always you know we got a success
11:13
sometimes a little late sometimes it's a little early but we always got you know that success
11:19
So that was just a small intro to the company and me. Archie, you want to introduce yourself
11:26
Sure. So as you know, my name is Archie Vankar, and I have been into this
11:31
I have been working with C Sharp Corner past few months, and it's amazing till date
11:37
I have experience with strategy planning and talent acquisition. I have experience with publishing domain
11:44
And most importantly, I am into these advisory and innovation creative structures where I'm really, really looking ahead with C Sharp Corner as well to, you know, help you guys with my experiences and my domain knowledge
11:58
Apart from that, I am also associated with Mindcracker. And I'm looking ahead with Mindcracker, how I can, you know, innovate my ideas into it
12:10
Because Mindcracker basically was formed from 2003. And we are into software and innovation advisory
12:19
And we are looking ahead with different other technologies, whether it has to be blockchain or cloud applications and etc
12:25
so yeah that's that's what it is basically great all right we're good to have both of you here
12:31
today uh later we're gonna have simon to jump into he better go change his shirt uh so yeah
12:38
both of you i'm glad you both are here i see we have some comments rohit is joining us both to
12:43
rohit joining us rohit welcome to the show yeah anybody just ask your questions any kind of
12:48
questions you have but today i want to talk about certain things one of the things i want to talk
12:53
about it there is in software development right now recently what we are seeing is a big trend of
13:02
of not having enough people especially in the U.S. what's happening is I think last
13:07
two years the visa process and there were some you know issues with the migrations and I think
13:15
in the last three four years that less people came here in the U.S. so U.S. we don't have enough
13:19
people. We don't have enough software developers, we don't have you know and that's a challenge
13:27
and I think we are also now seeing the same problem in India as well. If not we will see
13:34
that it's just because the demand of IT has increased so much in last few years
13:41
a couple of years because now everybody's working from home and not only everybody's working from
13:47
home a lot of these companies now wants to build different systems you know is this is a migration
13:52
to cloud or is it innovation building new applications and so on so forth so what's
13:59
happening now is that that that is one part other part is a lot of people are now working from home
14:05
and i want to hear actually from people who are listening to this show or watching this show
14:12
is that when you are working from home and you're one of those you know software developers or
14:17
yst or architect or doesn't matter what are the main um plus and minuses for you to working
14:25
from home do you like it are you getting more productive obviously you're spending more time
14:29
with your family your kids but is this a distraction as well do you also feel like
14:36
oh i want to go back i was better i was more productive working from you know what is your
14:41
take on that I want to hear that and we want to discuss those topics. So back to that my
14:47
previous Bhaskar, what are you seeing that demand wise at MCN? First thing you said you
14:54
are a chief strategy officer So what does chief strategy officer really do for our audience so uh it nothing a new position it you know the mix of all existing roles which includes your sales which
15:09
includes your marketing which includes your you know uh keeping um interacted you know with the
15:15
existing customers and the quality in everything so it's a mix of another blend of everything
15:21
and a strategy for the company which is how to grow the company and from where to get the business
15:29
and when you know you know work on these main bullet points essentially you you have to deep
15:37
drive to the different sections of the problems which is again the sales and the technologies
15:45
and everything um i mean in the new technologies whenever it is been introduced you also need to
15:54
you know look into the picture like if we are having the expert of this new technology
16:00
would we get a new business for example uh the blockchain it's not that new but you know it is
16:06
relatively new in india and if we have a blockchain expert with us probably we get you know um we
16:13
would be the early bird to get a couple of projects. So all these things has to be taken
16:19
care of by the strategist and that's what I'm doing it. So as I'm in the market and
16:26
interacting with the customers, maybe the existing, reaching to the new one, all that
16:33
All right. Sounds good. Welcome to the show, Leja. I see you are our regular. Thanks for
16:38
joining us this Friday so Archie what do you I know you mentioned Mindcracker and C Sharp Corner
16:45
so you are now working with us with me also direct and C Sharp Corner a couple of things we are
16:51
launching new things is one of them is is a is a training part right exactly training is you want
16:59
to talk a little bit about that what our clients are Yogesh welcome to the show thank you guys for
17:05
all these joining us and letting us know where you're joining us and if you have any questions
17:09
just feel free to jump in today we are just discussing jobs career advice any questions
17:16
you have dot net versus java there's always a question dot net versus java or dot net versus
17:21
react any questions you have just asked us here but yeah go ahead archie so basically talking
17:27
about training in terms of courses or in terms of book publishing or in terms of whatever way we can
17:33
just project the thoughts of several people you know there are various people various authors
17:39
various video editor video course creators who really really are interested to project their
17:44
mindset to project their domain knowledge they really want to come ahead and talk about what
17:49
they have in mind as well as what they have gone through over the years like there are various
17:55
amazing uh people out there who are quite sufficient in terms of what they have done till yet
18:01
and they really want to go ahead with things like whatever emerging technologies they are dealing
18:06
with into so we are trying to create a sort of platform where could where they could actually
18:12
you know update the courses where they actually publish them where they could help several video
18:18
authors as well to learn and grasp what actually is being done in these terms of things as well as
18:25
there are various viewers and students who can literally learn several things
18:30
So it would really help them to grow ahead, whether it has to be about video things, whether
18:35
it has to be book publishing, they can have these trainings. There are instructor-led trainings, there are live video sessions where they could just
18:42
enroll and get access to various other technologies. So we are working to form that sort of training courses for them
18:49
We have been in touch with several good authors and we have quite a lot of strength over there in terms of audiences
18:59
So it's really going to be amazing. Yeah, so this is good
19:04
So in C Sharp Corner, we are launching trainings, which will be in terms of, you know, videos, learning series
19:12
It could also be projects, trainings. Yeah, it's coming up. So that's really Archie's main role is
19:17
So if you are a C-Sharp Corner member, you will be seeing a lot more course content coming, learning, like, you know, any other learning websites is out there
19:28
So besides that, Archie, I know you're also working with Mindcracker. And Mindcracker is hiring many people here in the U.S., especially in software development
19:39
You want to talk about some of the positions you are hiring for? Definitely
19:43
There are positions all over for developers, whether it has to be JavaScript or Node.js
19:48
or another emerging technologies, whether it has to be backend or frontend
19:54
So there are these developer jobs as well as there are executive jobs available
19:58
whether it has to be sales executive or marketing executive. So if someone has to shift in that zone
20:04
and if they are experienced into that comfortability, it is also available
20:09
Apart from that, we have jobs related to big data cloud applications, which can also be helpful
20:16
So rather only focusing on developers, which is the main criteria over there, but still we have other jobs available as well
20:22
So, yeah. Oh, that's great. That's great. All right. So, so far, no questions, guys
20:28
If anybody, guys, girls, ladies, gents, whoever has questions, ask your questions
20:32
I want to shift a little bit topic here now. Thanks for sharing both of you, your backgrounds
20:37
I want to shift some gears here and I want to talk about work from home
20:44
So if you are working from home, Bhaskar, you're working from 100% almost, right
20:49
How do you find this work from home situation? And what are the rewards and challenging when you're working from home
20:58
And yeah, let's start with that first. Sure. So, you know, in the initial COVID days
21:06
when people were forced to work from home. It was a really, very challenging task for us
21:14
because, you know, home, we are not set up our work desk or, you know, the station, right
21:22
And we have no specific area generally, you know, in India, you know, the people there are going to the office
21:30
they used to go to office. So that's what home, there is no such place
21:34
where you can spend a decent time or no noise or something
21:38
So these were some of the challenges we faced initially. But later we realized when we started working from home
21:46
and that graph was actually shifted from no output to some output to yes output
21:55
And then it was a tremendous output from working from home. and my experience with working from home is i'm actually getting enough time to spend on my work
22:09
for example if you are traveling to the office it's at least 30 minutes or 40 minutes travel
22:15
from one side or maybe sometimes there is a traffic you know you are spending one hour
22:20
so you are essentially saving two hours and what actually happens when you coming back from office you are so tired so that you are not even not even you know feel like to open a laptop or talking to someone or you know taking a status or something because
22:35
your body is already tired. This is what we already have fresh mind like, you know
22:41
not at the end of the day. When you come home from work and you're tired driving in traffic
22:46
and somebody cut you off, then you are coming home and yelling at kids. Yes, I mean, your mindset was
22:53
totally different that time when you are coming you know entering to the home but since you are
22:58
already at home you are you know gradually you know meeting with your kids and talking to your
23:05
wife and all the family members you are also you know getting relaxed in between it's not that eight
23:11
complete hours stretch you are working directly continuously but you are taking you know five or
23:17
minutes in between break and that actually I feel like you know took me to the higher output range
23:25
and I really felt it like I mean not because of the corona but if everywhere this work from home
23:33
situation can apply and if people are honest to give their best shot from home it's nothing like
23:41
it like it's yeah sometimes you get too much kids you like let me go back to work because I'm bored
23:46
with kids exactly that's the other other thoughts which is you know often i mean very very rare
23:54
coming to in my mind is sometimes kids are actually they are out of control or maybe you know at home
24:03
you know the guests are coming so it's better to you know reach to your office spend your decent
24:08
eight hours or nine hours whatever hours you can spend it come back to home and enjoy with them
24:13
otherwise work from home is really a boon for me it's nothing like it
24:18
So, Archie, how are you finding work from home for yourself? For me, I guess I will agree to disagree I mean it could also be because I have no experience
24:29
with kids and whatsoever so for me I mean it was something which I felt because I already
24:35
always have this sort of habit because I have always stayed away from home and I have that
24:40
sort of mindset that i have to go to a office and i have to work over there so i had that sort of
24:45
persona and work from whom literally changed that because i i really miss going office and i but
24:52
that's true at one point as bhaska mentioned that infrastructure is nothing related to the output
25:01
you know output can be generated without being into this amazing infrastructure kind of zone
25:08
if you have that sort of mindset if you had had that sort of drive you can achieve that whether
25:14
you are in a office whether you are in a home or wherever for that matter but for me work from
25:21
home is something which is kind of no-no at least for now because that zone where everyone is working
25:30
and everyone having that sort of passion and everything that sort of something helps me out
25:34
to yeah so that's a good point right for i think young people exactly i guess that's that's the
25:41
difference you know over here when it comes to because i have no experience with family
25:45
management and everything i don't have family you will also need you learn a lot from other people
25:51
absolutely yeah yes when we are in person it really helps in understanding as well it helps
25:59
to see the experience which the people hold and to learn from them so to be with them it generates
26:06
more uh so i see comments from rohit i see ledger uh from ivory coast i see yogis stephen
26:17
rohit you guys all i'm sure you guys all work from home anybody is going to office just share
26:23
your feedback yeah but Simon says uh if uh if I don't have work from home I will quit okay that's
26:30
uh so that's not good um no it's fine work from home is great I think but I personally believe that
26:38
there should be a little bit of work from work too work from office too because not only takes
26:45
you outside from one place but sometimes you get bored doing same thing again like for so long
26:51
so i think that going forward the mix will be a good winner i would say like a mutual balance
27:01
yeah yeah some people you know some people wants to go you know if you are you want to go work with
27:07
your co-workers and that's where you are productive yeah i think that we will see that as well so
27:12
okay good thoughts on that guys so rohit says he goes to office and yeah you guys just share your
27:19
thoughts what do you think on um so now i want to shift back to um vaskar you you are hiring people
27:27
right you're hiring people yes yes so do you want to share something about our audience what kind of
27:32
people you are hiring um are they going to work from home in person what are you looking for
27:38
yes exactly and uh that's what a very uh important point is uh we are hiring we are at mcm you know
27:45
hiring almost 10 positions uh immediately you know we prefer to put person who can join immediately
27:52
i know that notice periods uh nowadays the different companies are going high from two
27:59
months to three months but uh maybe you know some people they are already in notice period maybe
28:04
the company they do not you know want them to be uh stay longer back once you resign or something
28:10
and the positions what we have is react developer including who knows the node node.js and the graph
28:20
ql graph ql is you know nice to have essentially the candidate should have a knowledge of you know
28:27
the database either it is rdbms or no sql doesn't matter but at least if they know that database
28:35
and they know how to you know store that data face the data and interacting with the front end
28:40
that will be good enough for it. So I have these 10 positions where five is the junior resource and
28:47
the five are the senior resources. Apart from this, we need two severe positions, which is
28:56
ASP.NET candidates. Nowadays, it's a little difficult for, you know, to finding ASP.NET guys
29:03
but yes guys are still there and the third part is we are actively looking for
29:12
sales director position people so if somebody who is interested in in these you know positions or
29:21
they fit in this criteria I'm sharing my email probably you know Simon you can share this email
29:27
and just send your resume to us. They can contact you on LinkedIn, right
29:32
Yes, they can contact you on LinkedIn, Twitter, or my mobile number or the email
29:37
I don't think you want to put your email in the comments. Some bots are going to come and get it
29:44
and then you just can ask. Not only you, everybody's going to, your company's going to get spam after that
29:50
Yeah. So Simon said he also needs a WordPress developer. Yeah, so anybody who's good in WordPress, you definitely
29:59
Simon can use you. I don't know why he doesn't ask himself on the shows
30:04
I'm sure there's some people can help on WordPress side. Okay, that's great
30:11
Now, why? Tell me, ask me. I'm going to ask you something. If I already have a job, why should I join you
30:20
Okay, so... Why do I want to leave my company and join MCN
30:27
So there could be, you know, several reasons. like in your existing company your growth is stagnant like you have reached to a level where
30:36
you are no forward moving you are not learning anymore and we as a you know mcn solutions we
30:45
have a different stack of expertise and the good part is you know we keep you know getting a
30:49
different type of projects where people if they want to you know learn something new at very you
30:57
know, immediate timeframe, they can go and learn it. The second part is we are paying, you know
31:07
good. I mean, as per the industry standard, as well as, you know, sometimes we are going high
31:12
on this part. So these are the points that people can, you know, think of it and they can join us
31:18
definitely. What do you do? Anything else you help them with the certifications? What else you do
31:24
like yes it's not enough like this is everybody can say that what you're saying that oh we'll pay
31:29
you extra and we'll give you a new project what's the big i will add a couple of more points in fact
31:35
which is essentially this certification is definitely one of the point we are actually
31:40
offering all of our employees to you know go and get the free certification it's obviously you know
31:45
you have to discuss initially with us and what type of certification you want to do it you can
31:50
go ahead and do it company will pay for that certification uh the second is when you are
31:56
actually engaging with a new company like you know the startup company startup companies are
32:02
growing like you know the big time and uh the people who are associated with those startup
32:08
companies they will also you know get benefited in a longer term so the these are the points i mean
32:15
the people can think of it and we actually offering a really very good um stuffs right there
32:25
all right that's good now let me assist to archie so archie now i know you mentioned that on c-shark
32:30
corner we are building these trainings and we are building the g books publishing part if somebody
32:38
is watching us right now this show and if they say you know what i want to become a trainer with
32:45
you what's the process for that? First of all I would really be like in terms of process you need
32:56
we need to connect. Yeah what they need to do to talk to you reach out to you what if there's
33:02
somebody already who already has a training out there they've got the video training they're already
33:07
published trainer on other platforms if they want to come join C Sharp Corner what's the process for
33:12
for that? Once they get connected with me, whether it has to be email
33:16
or LinkedIn or any other site, whether it has to be Twitter, once they are connected, they can share me their links
33:22
They can share me their courses with OneDrive. We can have a good call
33:25
We can have a good chat. And I can explain them what exactly we address to
33:30
and what we are focusing on that. Once they will share me their updated courses
33:35
we have a policy where the authors themselves can update on the training side
33:40
we can have someone from the team who can explain them how to update the courses on the website
33:45
as well as if they want, they can share the courses with us and we'll do the needful
33:49
So that's a basic process. And apart from that, we also have these revenue shares and everything which we can talk about
33:57
And it's just a normal process. Once you are connected, the things will go smoothly
34:03
Yeah, and I think Simon has a good question here. How do you decide which courses to pick
34:08
I feel the most important thing are the ones which are currently into the business, whether it has to be blockchain or any front end technologies, which are like emerging ones, whether it has to be Python, JavaScript, also .NET as well
34:24
So these will be the basic criteria apart from SharePoint and stuff which is not that much included
34:32
Although they are also quite fascinating. But at the same point, the ones which are actually in the market and people are literally looking forward to it
34:40
So those will be the prioritized one as of now. Yeah, I think to also add to that, we are going to probably have courses on all the technologies, not one or other
34:52
So we don't say, oh, we don't, you know, if you are doing, let's say, Oracle, we will not say, oh, we may not sell it a lot because we may not have a lot of audience
35:03
They need Oracle. But it doesn't mean that. But one thing we are going to on C Sharp Corner is separate is that we will have only one course on one topic
35:15
We will not have multiple courses. we will pick the quality speaker quality author quality trainer and we'll only have um one per
35:25
topic and um yeah so that's a good question how often video courses will be updated three months
35:32
so i think simon to answer this it depends on when the new products coming out it's no fixed time
35:38
right if you have a dot net course it doesn't make sense to update every three months because
35:43
new version.net gonna come next year. So I think it will totally depend on when the new features
35:49
and these are coming up. But that's the key is we will have only our trainers
35:56
and authors will be making sure that when we pick and we sign these deals we will make sure they are responsible for that also Hey Shivangi good to see you here Thanks for joining us today
36:11
We are just talking about trainings, jobs, anything. I know you had a couple of questions. Feel free to ask your questions here
36:18
So it can help even more, you know, other people who are watching this
36:23
So that's great. So we are going to have some training coming up. So if somebody wants to see what the training looks like, they can go on C Sharp Corner right now
36:31
That's kind of our preview platform, right? What is training.csharpcorner.com? Yep. So they can go to training.csharp.com
36:40
We already have a few old courses here. They're not, you know, we just launched them to test the platform out and everything works fine
36:48
This is where we're going to use it for upcoming courses. and I think every time we're going to launch a new course there's going to be news on C-sharp
36:56
corner as well. So all right so that covers the that covers the hiring that goes the job that
37:05
covers the training all the things so let's talk about one more topic today and we were
37:10
a little bit talking about that Pascal is that from a company side right when a company side is
37:18
looking for employees so you want to hire some people they're working from home what are you
37:25
expecting though beside the technical skills what are you expecting from them like more on
37:30
interpersonal skills or you know speaking or communications what else you really focus on
37:38
when you look for new employees so point i'm making is if somebody's watching here and they
37:42
are young they're a student and they're applying for a job what should they be uh kind of preparing
37:49
for that's really very good question in fact it will give insight to the all the people you know
37:56
who are actually looking for a job or maybe you know uh they are thinking on this side so
38:02
i can tell you based on my experience and what actually we are looking into a candidate which is
38:08
the basic thing is definitely a certain level of expertise on that particular technology
38:16
and the interpersonal skill. But we are also expecting, which is your accountability and
38:24
responsibility. I mean, these two terms are really very small words, but it means a lot
38:30
And it has a lot of, you know, the depth into this. So what I see, I can give you an example
38:37
like if a person has been assigned to a work and he's committed to do it and he said that it can be
38:44
done maybe six hours but somehow it didn't happen and he he was not able to he couldn't you know to
38:53
deliver it after six hours so what that person should do then it it is not like uh he should be
39:02
saying that I said six hours I can definitely you know put max to max eight hours after that I'll go
39:07
back to home and then all done next day I will try again no so if you have taken some responsibility
39:16
that responsibility has to be accomplished if you are committed to do something you should be doing
39:22
it and if something is given to you definitely you know you have to accept it or you have to
39:29
I mean, if it is very difficult or you are facing some problems, you can discuss initially
39:35
But once you are committed to do it, you should definitely do it
39:40
So as a candidate, into the candidate, basically, we are looking who are responsible, who are good in interpersonal skills
39:51
And definitely skills can be made later on as well. That's my thought
39:56
but it's good to have you know the basic skill set into that candidate this is what we are looking
40:03
for and i'll tell you one more thing which is during the interview process it may be a two or
40:09
three rounds or maybe 30 minutes or one hour uh you will never ever you know um i would not say
40:17
judge but yes you you cannot um see how good or bad that candidate is you can just have a idea
40:26
about it and based on that you can go go ahead right and once the candidate is in or onboarding
40:33
to that company he has to prove himself in these criteria and once you have you know get that
40:41
confidence built onto your supervisor manager or you know the team you are good to go then
40:47
all right so we will take a question here from shivangi that so i think if there's an option
40:54
to choose from react and dot net which would be preferable or should be something like full stack
41:00
react and dot net and i can also answer that and then also she has another following question
41:07
And actually they can both be answered in the same. She says, which tech seems to have a good future
41:14
And I'll talk about this on my, what I'm looking for and what I see more in the US
41:20
Shivangi is that, so both React and .NET, obviously they're both in big demand
41:26
You cannot go wrong with either of them. If you are a good React expert or .NET expert, they're both in demand
41:32
But there's another demand I'm seeing is that the front end is being developed on the React a lot these days
41:40
And the APIs and back end is being developed in .NET Core, which is now .NET 5 and coming .NET 6 a lot
41:48
Database can be anywhere. And they are all being deployed on Azure Cloud or AWS
41:54
So if you have a stack like React is front end, .NET or Node, both can be in your back end
42:00
And then you will know a little bit about cloud, how to deploy and manage in all that
42:06
applications on cloud This becomes your call amazing stack where everybody wants you okay so this is not so that kind of what i think is growing and it doesn it doesn mean that
42:22
if you are in dot net i would say blazer it would be something good for future because obviously
42:28
esp.net and as we said not too many people really too many companies are building applications on
42:35
esp.net so that's kind of my view and it basically you want to add more on that
42:41
i would like to add one thing is when people are actually comparing all these i would say
42:48
you really know can't compare apple with the oranges in fact right so every technology has
42:55
their own pros and cons in fact and the react is essentially from the front end part and the
43:02
dotnet uh core i mean you can always go with the front end with the blazer but in the dotnet core
43:09
you can create your apis which is interacting with the database so to complete a app application you
43:18
must need you know these two uh stats which is the front end part as well as they know the back end
43:24
and definitely you can you know um club together these two and go ahead so it's it's not always
43:32
like you should go with only react or only dot net even you can combine it you can go ahead
43:40
yeah definitely definitely i think yeah and that's what we're seeing a lot more applications i know a
43:45
lot of people that's their company they are microsoft stack companies you know they say we
43:50
try to use more Microsoft because then you need the developers who only know C Sharp and Dornay
43:57
But what I'm seeing trend now is their front end is being a lot more developed in React
44:03
React being a light and all that. But there's another trend coming now is that Blazor is
44:08
start being popular these days. We are building a couple of large projects in Blazor right now
44:15
and because we were thinking to react before but we found blazer is really uh it beats everybody
44:22
it's much faster it's lighter and development is moves really quick in this uh and it's you
44:28
you know if you are a dotnet guys you are used to it um you don't write a lot of javascript
44:34
microsoft tech is always you know the enterprise tech and uh you know uh i mean the react and
44:40
everything that can be used for the small to the big level projects but when microsoft comes into
44:48
the picture people always you know think of it it would be the enterprise application or something
44:55
yeah so that's where i'm seeing is uh uh there's a question what's that any other question what do
45:02
you think who is better master of none and master of one yeah master you cannot be master of one i
45:14
mean none i mean okay jack of all is saying i think uh so yeah i mean these days i think you
45:21
need to be a master of one definitely and then you also need to be a master of others not none
45:28
none is none right none is like zero that means you're not master so but you need to know a lot
45:33
of other things these days what i'm finding is it's not one or other uh you can be like full
45:39
that's what full stack developer is really so you cannot you don't have to depend on somebody else
45:45
but you can just be a front-end expert but you still should need to know the back end you still
45:49
need to know api you still need to know a little bit tweaking around database that's ideal i'm not
45:55
saying they're all there people but that's ideal is um that's what you know probably the ideal
46:01
combination all right there's a question here why two versions of blazer whereas react another
46:08
javascript as there's only one uh that's a good question blazer has two versions right
46:13
uh one is server side one is client side and i think it's a reason is simple simon that a lot
46:20
of people prefer to use their code on server compile and run their code on server for security reasons
46:28
some people just they are coming from javascript background they don't understand or they don't
46:34
get the idea of being server side they want to run everything in browser so when you say
46:39
client-side server-side what's happening really is that all the coding all the business logic all the
46:46
all the, you know, compare and getting data, all the thing is done on either client side
46:53
or on the server side. So think of that data is coming from database
46:59
The data has to kind of process somewhere. Then it's being presented to the person
47:04
who, you know, and customer. So there are three parts, right? There's a data store
47:09
data is being processed, something is happening with the data, and then it's being presented to the customer
47:14
so in case of front end like a client side data comes direct from database to your browser
47:21
data comes direct from your database to your browser that means your chrome or whichever
47:27
browser you're using this becomes your whole operating system now so there's a lot of data
47:33
coming in your browser so sometimes if you see chrome is taking you know one gb of your ram is
47:41
because your applications you're using is a lot of processing happening on client side
47:47
So that's client side. On server side, what happens is data comes from database on the server
47:53
There's a web server running on the server. It does all the processing and everything
47:57
And it sends the data only needed to display or present it to the client
48:02
Only small part of the usually data comes to the front end. So both of these technologies has their pros and cons
48:09
And one is not better. than another depends on what kind of applications you building So the challenge with front end is all client side data is that it easy to if coding is not done by experience people it easy to have access to all the data because your
48:27
data is in the browser. On the server side, data is never exposed to the browser. You know
48:33
it's always stayed on server, only data you want to send to a client side browser
48:38
that is only exposed to the browser. So a lot of people who started their programming
48:44
from JavaScript, they don't understand the concept of server side. They prefer client side scripting
48:51
They prefer client side Blazor. That's why Microsoft and Blazor team said
48:56
you know what, we're going to build both. And so people who like client side
49:02
they can go to the client side, WebAssembly, who like server side
49:06
they can use the server side. server side is a lot of people like who come from .NET, ASP.NET background, they understand server side
49:14
People who come from JavaScript and React and Angular, they understand pretty much the client side
49:22
So that's the difference. So it's a catering to both kind of audience. And that's the difference between these two
49:29
But both have their own spaces. If you ask me, I would prefer always use server side
49:35
I would never put all my secrets of my data on the client side
49:40
yes that went really deep and that's very because nobody people understand that
49:46
nobody talks about they just jump around like oh I like client side oh I like server side
49:51
they don't even understand the meaning of it that's why we went deep
49:55
so with that said is there any other questions but hopefully answer
50:01
Simon hopefully you got the difference between these two uh some you know sometimes server side can be slow because that depends on how you process the
50:12
data sometimes client side we can slow the challenge with client side is that it's sometimes
50:17
you see your uh lot of applications hanging is and their browser taking a lot of memories because
50:24
there's so much data being loaded into your client side but if you have a lot of processing
50:30
you need to done on data if you're already on the client side in memory then it's much faster so it
50:36
depends on application to application we can have it just one whole show on just this
50:44
yeah the when is c-sharp corner moving to blazer well we want to move it yesterday but we don't
50:49
have developer we need to hire some blazer developers uh but that's the process we are
50:54
in the process of um hiring people um so yeah we're definitely going to build in blazer server
51:01
side blazer uh that's what our goal is all right saman you coming behind the scene or you're just
51:06
going to keep talking from from the chat all right with that said are there any other questions i
51:16
think we recovered pretty good anything last last minute uh anything lasting archie you want to
51:21
to start say something else to the people and then Bhaskar you want to say some last minute
51:26
last word and then I'll close it. I am just happy to be here and listen especially you know the
51:37
talks which you do have been doing right now the conversation whether it has to be Blazor or client
51:43
server or about the hiring processes and everything so I'm really glad to be a part of this and to
51:48
listen it so thank you for that um you know it really helps when you guys project these sort of
51:54
thoughts so yeah i'm glad that's it thank you yeah so uh i would definitely say help me to you know send me your resume when i say your it means
52:12
you know it could be you or you know your friends or known person who are actually looking for a
52:17
change and definitely this will be a great opportunity you know working with us uh the
52:24
react and node asp.net and in fact you know um the word wordpress developer and um
52:32
last one which was i just missed that but never mind um send me your resume we can you know just
52:40
filter them out and possibly you know you get a call yes so ng had a question here are the jobs
52:48
in asp.net of blazer so if you ask mindcracker in the us we have jobs in blazer uh blazer with the
52:56
dot net also back-end front-end is obviously blazer applications then it's a dot net full
53:02
stack dot net developer and in mcn we need asp.net developer so anyway they'll also be blazer i don't
53:09
think you need ASP.NET, you ask me because if they're working on C Sharp Corner
53:14
they will need gold because they will turn initially to fix things
53:19
but eventually they will be building Blazor. Yes. Right. So with that said
53:26
I think hopefully everybody has had fun today. I think we covered
53:30
a bunch of topics. With that, I would like to close today's show
53:35
Everybody have a good weekend and I will see you next Friday
