1:41
It's now between 70 to 80 degrees. Sunny, bright, lot of flowers coming up
1:49
I know people are struggling, especially in India right now, Covid cases are out of control
1:58
I hear some good news, some bad news. I hear people from villages even now they are struggling with Covid
2:05
but looks like things are looking a little better you know after lockdown in India and I know lockdown is not easy on all of us
2:17
it's a challenge it's a challenge been so long being locked down you know more than a year and you're back and forth
2:26
so I hope things get better So Deepak, yeah, definitely good evening. You come here join us all the time. Welcome to the show again. Hopefully a lot more people joining us looks like that's a good. We're going to have a good show today. Today, I'm sure if you are our regular visitor, we talk about growth mindset. We talk about general topics about being good people, good person
2:54
and what C Sharp Corner community is all about. And one of the initiatives we have taken in C Sharp Corner
3:04
is we are raising funds for, you know, COVID relief. Our goal is really help people, right now people in India
3:13
And we have raised several thousand dollars already. So thank you everybody who has donated
3:18
There are people who have, you know, donated thousands of dollars. So we have fund already available
3:24
So if you are one of the person who is involved in helping other people or charity or need help, please reach out to one of C-sharp corner guides and Simon can connect with the right people
3:38
But we do have funds, 100% of funds we have raised is going to COVID relief in India, at least in the last three months we have raised. Also, there is a link if some of any of you want to donate $1, $2, $10 more, doesn't matter. Whoever can, they are able to donate, please go and donate. Every dollar counts, every rupee counts
4:02
We are going to take this fund, all these funds and then it's going to go to people who are in need, people who can't work, people who need food
4:11
You know, obviously we cannot help everybody. We cannot help. You know, we have limitations, but we will try to do as much as we can
4:19
And some of I see some tweets actually this morning. One of our MVPs also trying to do the same
4:25
They are raising his own money in different ways. So if you are involved in somehow, you want us to talk about and promote you more, please let us know
4:36
We will get you here on this show. Hello, Pradeep. Again, everybody who's joining us, please, please let your comments come in
4:45
More comments are good. More comments are welcome. We want to know how you're dealing with COVID, how things are improving or getting worse at your place and anything else
4:55

5:58
talk. It can be community, it can be jobs, it can be technical, non-technical, personal
6:06

9:45
15 some years now maybe or more I'm sure everybody here knows the ninja if you
9:52
don't know just ask questions oh you can also add the ninja questions about
9:56
angler he is angular guy you've been teaching so the ninja where are you
10:01
joining us from today and how are things they are related to COVID and how you
10:08
have been dealing with COVID for since I would say last year and half oh hi
10:14
Hi Mahesh sir, very first, thank you so much for this opportunity to talk to you
10:23
And so I'm joining from Gurgaon, which is a city next to Delhi
10:29
And Kobe situation is, I mean, it is improving, but as you might have seen in the news and
10:37
social media, it was not good like few days back. Yeah, but it is improving and I hope from here road is only going to be better when it comes to COVID and all
10:52
Okay. Okay. Yeah. And then how you personally, you and your family had been dealing for, you know, since last March, April
11:02
Has it impacted you in different ways? What changed for you? Well, so my parents, both of them are 60 plus, they got their vaccine. And that makes me a bit
11:16
a bit, you know, not that much worried about them since they have got their vaccine
11:23
So not directly by so far is impacted me when it comes to family, but I have seen my friends
11:30
one of the committee members of C-Shop Corner, and he used to come to NJ India and all that
11:38
like a young guy. We lost him last week. So it is impacting, right
11:43
Like if I wear my philosopher's hat, I would say that like death is something
11:51
all we should be preparing. And it kind of makes you, it kind of pushes you to introspect
11:59
things are things are not as good as it should be like when you go on social media and all
12:06
so it has not impacted me directly or you know in in tangibly where i can go and count how it
12:12
has impacted me but of course of course um like a lot of thought a lot of new thought
12:20
yeah yeah it has impacted all of us actually in different ways it may not be direct relation but
12:26
yeah um you know even my son had covid and you know it wasn't nothing major but he had to log
12:34
down in the basement for quarantine for two months and it was hard it's not easy yep even just that
12:39
part so i know you are you have been involved in community for many many years you want to tell
12:46
people about your community involvement what got you involved in community and what made you stay
12:51
the community especially in India? So going back, go ahead. Yeah so I'm part of the community
13:10
I would say since this word community was not popular and since this word community and
13:20
all those who are not like we did not know that we are part of the community we were the complete
13:27
even if we were doing whatever we were doing so just after my colleagues back in 2008 i started
13:33
like whatever i used to learn i started i started writing and post it on csharp corner
13:40
thank you for this website which provided a split form to share our learning
13:45
yeah so since 2008 it is like it was never like I never felt I'm in part of community I am this
13:55
like it is never a something which is parallel to me it is me teaching and talking I love to teach
14:03
and when I say I love to teach means I love to teach in various ways through my articles through
14:08
my webinars lately and yeah so so this is how it is like kind of I mean this is I am so you are
14:22
community okay great that's great no that's good yeah so yeah some personalities they are like they
14:27
are community right they that's what they are so when you look back in the community you know say
14:33
10 15 years when you start in 2008 and now do you see any difference what if you see what the
14:40
difference is now before and now well i guess now things are much better uh things i'm like the
14:49
community as says more inclusive i remember if i share a story with you that yeah this is we share all the stories here yeah yeah so uh i recall to get my first public talk back in 2010 24th of july in ahmadabad uh that point of time i was a microsoft
15:10
mbp and my total experience was like two years but i had to lie in my speaker bio that my experience
15:17
is seven years such that people take me seriously and they come to my speaking so organizer and we
15:24
decided that we are going to lie about your number of experience otherwise people would
15:28
not take it seriously and and I like to get because it used to be less number of events
15:36
and all that and so so things were tough but now to become like there are platforms people
15:45
are not judging you on basis of your number of experience they are not judging you on
15:49
basis of number of like on any basis they are not judging you people are providing there are
15:56
platforms like c-sharp corner so if you have attitude and willpower now like now easy is a
16:07
wrong word but now it is it is like available it's accessible at least it's access yeah
16:12
the resources are there the support is there yeah and that makes a big sense yeah yeah this is and
16:19
And there's a gray side of that as well, because nothing is absolute good in this world
16:25
That like very easily, sometimes you get something and it goes to it
16:35
I mean, like and then when you meet reality, so let us say that I'm a student and in my eighth semester, I got a lot of a lot of popularity as a speaker or something on social media
16:48
and I feel because I'm a young person I feel that hey I am like you know I feel feel different about
16:54
myself but when I go to work on a real project in a real organization uh you know there are
17:02
challenges there and then switching this context switching between what you are on social media or
17:08
in community and what you are just one engineer on your project is very tough like uh it's very
17:14
tough. I was reading somewhere, sir, that why Sachin Tebdurkar is the greatest cricket
17:20
player. Not because he's the greatest batsman. It is because he never allowed success to
17:26
go to his head. You know, there were many great batsmen. So, some people are not able
17:34
to, you know, do that context switching and that is one great side I see. But yeah, but
17:41
overall it is positive so yeah i agree agree because uh you know if you look at the most
17:48
successful people for them success whatever they really don't care about it right because
17:53
they just keep doing what they do they don't think that they're successful they if you talk to like
17:59
you know lebron james or michael jordan and all these guys they are you know they've been top of
18:05
the top they still say they still need work to improve they need they need to do more work they
18:09
to get better that even though they're already at the top we see at the top and and even you know
18:15
you gotta look at yourself every day if you want to grow and that's what growth mindset is all about
18:21
growth mindset it says you never done growing and you never done growing and you are always you can
18:30
always improve um and yeah well everybody welcome to the show danush rohit teepak ma rajpa rajrapha
18:41
we have a lot of people joining us let your comments come in what you guys think about the
18:45
show what you like what you don't like any other topics any questions you may have let those coming
18:52
we are going to take your questions you know in i would say five to ten minutes we'll start taking
18:58
all these questions so then you've been in community for many years and work while you
19:04
i know you work for several companies but now you do mostly uh training so tell about what kind of
19:12
training you do who is your audience if any of our you know audience here they're looking for help
19:18
getting better at training and all that so tell us more about that and how they can join your
19:24
training if you have a training available these days yeah so i started a community slash slash
19:33
company called geek 97 in 2019 august and my vision with geek 97 is to create
19:42
job ready developers job ready engineers right now since uh for last two three years we are
19:49
focusing mainly on angular because angular is a popular framework and people need to learn that
19:56
so i provide training on angular the various ways if uh like of course free contents are available
20:03
through webinars and and articles and all that besides that i do a lot of corporate engagement
20:13
i guess since 2019 july i might have done more than i might have taught like more than thousand
20:19
students like paid students i'm not talking about free webinars and community stuff so there's this
20:26
there's one way we do for the car other ways that because there are many people who wants to do that
20:32
so i i announce my own batches on twitter and linkedin where you can pay and join that training
20:38
and if you are not able to pay that, I talk to them and I provide them recording
20:44
of those classes free of cost, but not once, like I give them one recording
20:49
and ask some questions, the next day another recording and kind of that
20:53
So I'm very much involved with Angular and I guess I would be with Angular for next two years
20:58
because developers, I do a lot of consulting also and there I realized that people want to learn
21:08
So, these are the ways I do that. And there's a lot of demand of Angular
21:13
Angular is one of the, obviously, the most popular. Angular React, I see, are in demand from front-end, you know, development technologies
21:22
So yeah, so anybody looking for Angular training, go check out geek97.com
21:26
Yeah, to me, a lot of people, there's a question here related, that's a related question, no
21:33
thoughts for React. I think she's asking is that are you planning to train people on react as well with Angular
21:43
So right now I do not have expertise on react. So right now, like, I mean, I never got a chance to go deeper into the react and I do
21:56
not teach anything until you do I do not have a lot of confidence or that on that particular
22:01
thing what I'm going to teach. So React is not in the plan because there are many good resources of React available
22:08
There are many good teachers of React available as it is a popular framework if you go on Udemy or even in India
22:14
But I see maybe next I would take Vue.js because I see this gap
22:19
It again very good framework and the framework which is very near to JavaScript is Vue And I see this gap this opportunity There are not not many community or teachers but React has many better teachers than me
22:36
and so you can definitely check them out. So React is not on the platform
22:41
Yeah, and I don't know about India, but in the U.S., I mean, there is now React adoption
22:50
but in early days, corporations means where you would work full-time. They were more doing work in Angular compared to React
23:00
React was more popular in the startup world. So that's kind of difference
23:05
At least I saw here in our, when we work with these clients, you go to large enterprise
23:10
they were more React because, I mean, Angular because Angular follows the MVC pattern, which
23:16
makes more like a bigger framework when building large enterprise application. However, it looks like that's not true
23:23
There's one more question, I guess it's more like a comment from Pripy as well
23:26
Even Blazor is in demand. So yes, Blazor is much, if you compare, you know, obviously I am biased towards these
23:36
My background is C-sharp. I love Blazor. We are building several, I think our three new projects right now with current clients
23:46
are in Blazor. It makes it very easy for us. It's same .NET
23:51
Everything is .NET. and it's pretty much component based model so it's like creating controls
23:56
reusing them it makes life very simpler at least for dotnet guys so that's
24:04
great so you're doing training you looks like things are going good you have any
24:09
I guess you have if somebody wants to come and join your training they just
24:14
visit what geek 97 that's where you announce your trainings or on your
24:18
Twitter or how people can join if you have any upcoming best coming up so is
24:26
ready I so far I mean as of my we do not announce it on geekman series if they
24:32
are active on Twitter or link we can find announcement there or I'm going to
24:39
I'm going to share one link in the chat this so if they subscribe to that mailing
24:49
list which I just shared in the chat we we sent email there to people whoever
24:55
are a member of that mailing list also not only about pay training about
24:59
everything we do yeah okay great that's great and just we just stay tuned for
25:05
that let's take another question from anupam and say early question and I want
25:09
continue taking these questions while we talk because that's how we're going to follow this
25:14
I don't want to relate to so take this let's Simon you want to put this question yeah and this is
25:18
actually my favorite part where I can even help answer this is how to become an architect from
25:24
senior developer so is there any specific training or certification required and you are a senior
25:31
developer right so architect is obviously or you know architect at different levels you can be
25:38
application architect you can be a software architect you can be enterprise architect but
25:43
i think first step for you is to become an application architect there's no certification
25:48
required for architect it doesn't you know there's nothing called certification you become an
25:53
architect this is more like learning the big picture of software learning how to architect
26:00
learning how to um go from uh as an architect if you think of an architect what they do
26:06
they need to understand the requirement they also should be able to build the team if there's no team
26:13
and you know they should work with project manager and stakeholders build the team come up with our
26:19
technology they are going to use to build the software then also involved in testing entire
26:27
devops from your build testing to deployment so architect has it this big picture of the software
26:34
right they just don't look into a you know coding part so that's kind of you become it's more like
26:40
experience so if you are a senior developer you want to become an architect you need to get
26:45
involved in the projects you are and see how they are architecting they are using design patterns
26:50
are they using any frameworks so all that has to be part of that you need to anything you want to
26:56
say on that oh no you you have you have like covered everything so it's like i mean architect
27:04
is more of a mindset than acquired skill right so so you have covered everything yeah and experience
27:12
all right so that's great guys again everybody um welcome to the show keep those questions coming
27:19
what we are going to do is we are going to take a two minute break and when we come back we are
27:24
going to talk about more you know about mvp program what is mvp that in this side is a microsoft mvp
27:31
what MVP is, we'll talk more about different topics, right? We'll also talk about a couple of upcoming conferences
27:41

28:44
What's going on? Not much. With the pandemic, I can't really do anything right now
28:49
Me too. I mostly just stay at home, hang out with my dog, and watch the news. I feel you
28:55
Have you guys been able to get jobs yet? Funny that you ask. Gary and I actually have been working on something together
29:02
Yeah, we came up with an idea for a startup that's an app that will help us stay active
29:06
since we both have been sitting around so much during this quarantine. That's genius
29:10
I could definitely use something like that. When are you guys launching it
29:15
Well, that's the issue. We don't really know how to build it, so we're kind of stuck
29:20
I know this company that does startup advising, if you guys are interested
29:25
Oh, really? Yeah, they're called Mindcracker, and they'll help you validate your idea and connect you with angel investors

29:54
Thanks, Mae. All right, welcome back to the Growth Mindset Show. We are here enjoying today with Dananjay here. Dananjay is our guest. He is right now joining us from Gurgam, India. Gurgam is not far, you know, if you're not familiar, not far from New Delhi. It's pretty much, it's a tech. It's kind of big tech, I would say. A lot of companies there
30:51
Dananjaya is the founder of Geek97, you're also a trainer, he's also a community mentor
30:58
lot of other things combined. And I believe Dananjaya you're also a Microsoft MVP and Google Developer Advocate or something
31:07
you want to tell us about what kind of, you have that there
31:17
So about Microsoft MVP and we call it Google Developer Expert. Oh, GD, okay, yeah
31:24
Yeah, so like Microsoft MVP is like C Sharp Corner MVP program
31:30
You contribute and in whatever way you want to. It could be in form of articles or contributing to open source
31:40
or answering on different forums or speaking. I mean, you contribute, you help people and then one of existing MVP can nominate you
31:53
and then Microsoft will evaluate your candidature and you may get it
31:59
So that's how Microsoft MVP program processes about Google Developer Expert. Once again, same thing, some GD or Google employee has to nominate you
32:11
Then there are two rounds of interview as far as I recall. in first round, one of the fellow GDE will take your interview
32:19
They call it community round. I would not call it interview. Let's say that conversation
32:26
And then second round would be taken by someone from the product team
32:31
If you are going to be GDE in Angular, then someone from Angular team
32:36
And then you get GDE. So it's pretty much the same community work, right
32:42
This is not a paid work. you're just helping other people writing speaking and also you know giving feedback on the product i
32:51
would say um yes all right sounds good great so that's how you become if you want to become microsoft
32:59

34:54
type that let's go back to Dananjay. We are having a conversation with Dananjay. So Dananjay, I know
34:59
So you are part of C-sharp corner conferences when we started chapters
35:05
You've been in part of these events and this is kind of your events are your kind of you love that
35:12
That's kind of part of it. You said you are a community. And I know you launched NG India recently, last couple of years ago
35:21
You did well. Do you want to talk a little bit about NG India? Why did you come up with this idea and why do you want to do that
35:28
and how was it last time we did it and what's the plan for this year? Just like three questions
35:36
Yeah so NG India is like I mean when Angular started becoming popular there was
35:46
Angular specific conferences all around the world. You had NG Conf which is the biggest conference
35:55
in America, in Salt Lake City. Then you have like NG Japan, NG Poland
36:05
And so there were conferences everywhere. And I used to work for InfraGistics that time
36:13
And I was in Japan to give training on Angular to InfraGistics customer
36:21
And luckily at that time, over in that weekend only, NG Japan was there
36:25
So I went there to attend and I met people and I thought, hey, how about starting NG India
36:31
So from there, this came to me and I was teaching like it's not that that conference came to my mind first
36:39
It was like I was teaching Angular. I was going to different cities and teaching Angular
36:45
And I saw I saw like people were responding to that community were responding to that
36:52
They were like ready to learn Angular. So I talked to Siprasad Kodalu, founder of Questpond, and I told him that, hey, can we
37:04
start NG India, which is like an English specific conference? And he was very kind and he said, okay, let's start that
37:10
So we started that in 2018, our first time, and it was like kind of, we had to borrow
37:17
money from our home to execute it. I mean you run C Sharp Corner Conference so you know that there is things behind those glittering and behind those photos of social media So yeah so we started in 2018
37:35
It was small, not big. Then again, we did it in 2019
37:40
It was like a little bit bigger. Angular community supported. Stefan Flewing, he was part of Angular team
37:47
Now he's no longer in Angular team. He was very supportive. and GDE team like like India Google Developer Expert team the Google team was very supportive
37:57
then 2020 it was like kind of I don't know I was like lucky as an organizer and as a teacher
38:03
we had around like 800 people attending that and and people came from like not only India
38:12
like all across India people came from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, South Africa and Afghanistan
38:20
and all those countries to attend that yeah as you see on the screen these very speakers
38:26
and and it was good and one and and we I mean people got motivated people got inspired
38:37
and follow i mean i know many people who's say that they were not into the angular but now they
38:45
are doing big projects on angular and all that no that's great yeah check out this so i any plans
38:52
for doing this ng india this year or next year yeah so before the second wave of kobe like which
39:00
started like six weeks back i had a plan to i i i do an ng india on last saturday of february
39:10
but this time i thought i would do that latter in the year because i'm a big supporter of offline
39:16
conferences in person in person conferences but it looks like the way it is uh it is not going to
39:22
happen i mean definitely offline conference is not going to happen uh i do a monthly webinar
39:29
of ng india so people come and learn there and i i try to teach very basic topics there which they
39:36
use in project and uh topics which are useful in their interviews and all that as of now we do not
39:42
know whether we are going to do online ng india or not because purpose is not to do ng india
39:49
purpose is to teach and which i am doing through ng india webinars anyway so whenever things are
39:56
settle down uh because i want developers to come and get inspired when they see speakers on the
40:02
stage and all that so if things would get settled down you also come sir this time to hinge india
40:08
definitely it's a matter of environment yes yes yeah but i i agree i agree with you you go to
40:17
conference really sure there's a learning part to it but more than learning it's more about
40:22
inspiration it's about motivation it's meeting the people you read all the time online but then
40:29
you go meet them it's a different feeling yeah and moreover it is for the audience for the speakers
40:35
also sometimes you do not realize in early stage of career i used to be very aggressive and very
40:41
whoever does not agree to me very against them on twitter and here and there
40:46
but now I am old so I have gone through that sometimes you do not realize when it is happening
40:54
to you but you realize that after five years seven years that how that 15 minutes on a stage
40:59
set your career how you know how that gave you the confidence gave you the confidence which
41:06
really helped you we do not realize then and there but we realize over the time over when we
41:12
like a little bit older or or something so my whole purpose is that in online those things cannot
41:19
be created online is online right like i watch uh i i see you here on the webcam and you and i sit
41:28
together in cyber hub those two are two different things right so yeah definitely definitely so plus
41:35
you know biggest part of this conference also is the is the networking right you meet people you
41:41
become friends and a lot of people I met became friends at these events and conferences and
41:47
they just stay forever and you end up working together sometimes or have personal relationships
41:53
Yeah so thank you guys yes the all answer needs to be here posted in the chat
41:58
Rajwaan, good question. Today's question is we have reached show this in this show Growth Mindset
42:07
we are going to ask a different question nothing hard it's not something that you need to look in
42:12
the book uh just to make it fun we are going to ask every week the question and when there's going
42:19
to be winner and win something cool something cool and exciting so today's question is who is your
42:25
favorite leader and why and then we will pick a pick a uh you know randomly pick a winner and we
42:32
will announce that in the end of the show so that's simon make sure you get your people ready
42:36
so please post your answers it can be anybody it can be old young leader current past future
42:46
alive dead doesn't matter let us know post your questions here and reason can be simple whatever
42:53
you can like whatever the reason you like them it doesn't have to be detailed we are not really
42:57
looking for essay here you know it's not a competition of writing English so all right
43:04
That's great. So Dananjay you train people in England. It looks like things are going well with COVID during time. What else do you have planned now? It looks like you're locked in. I believe India is locked in. Who knows how long. I think it's going to at least stay for weeks and months maybe
43:24
so what do you do day to do how you motivate yourself and if somebody's watching you
43:30
and they are like you know what i need motivation i'm not motivated how what do you kind of
43:35
recommend them like what they can do so i do a couple of things to keep myself motivated first i have a stopped
43:45
i stopped like i try to do social media as least as possible and
43:52
I read books which and I try to listen like very light songs
44:00
kind of Akhinose Gullimare type of song not very intense intense songs
44:06
and all that and I know what is happening so I really don't have to be
44:12
updated with the news each second you know because news are like kind of very
44:18
so so news are very like if you if you focus on them you'd be very much demotivated
44:26
i talk to i talk to you i talk to sipsar i have a couple of friends like
44:32
so i talk to these people and yeah these are the things and i know that's yeah
44:41
and i'm very much committed to committed to teach i love to teach i see that people need teaching
44:48
right? So that is something which keeps me motivated that like my purpose is there. So
44:53
I prepare myself and all that Yeah yeah definitely Definitely So yeah thank you everybody who posting comments Please let those comments keep coming We have five more minutes to go in the show As again
45:06
as I said, I'm on the road this coming this whole summer actually. So we're gonna cut this show today
45:13
at 12.50. So we have five more minutes left here. So please let your comments keep going. Any questions
45:20
you have so simon if we can start taking any other guys so i know some questions were there
45:25
let's take those questions while we are talking these uh you know general talks um and also simon
45:31
i want you to come in uh in the show as well in a few minutes and then talk about this new next
45:37
upcoming conference we have coming up all right so there's a question angler versus blazer which
45:43
is recommended to go with if you want to get in dotnet stacks go ahead and then i'll ask i'll answer
45:50
or mike oh well uh i have not explored blazer very much and i really do not have any understanding
46:01
of blazer as of now so i'm not the right person to comment on blazer whether it's better or not
46:07
better than angular one thing i would say about blazer is that definitely if you are coming from
46:12
dotnet background uh like your learning curve wouldn't be very i mean learning curve would be
46:17
easy it is like you are at home when you are working with blazer uh angler is popular like
46:23
like we are like a doctor we develop us like a doctor why to choose learn both and you use it as
46:31
yeah that's that's a good point that's a good point because yeah if you are into dot net and
46:36
you already know c sharp you're learning c sharp uh you stick with blazer blazer has a lot of jobs
46:41
coming up a lot of i see more and more jobs popping up more and more companies hiring blazer now
46:47
Blazor is kind of mature enough now so any application you can build in Angular, React
46:52
you can build in Blazor. Once you go Angular route then you have to learn JavaScript a lot
46:58
Angular a lot so it's just a little different and I would say a little harder to learn but if you
47:04
have time and you want to learn then go for both. Yes Simon okay which career path you choose
47:13
in computer science ds is ml blockchain what is the ds data science i would say
47:21
ml blockchain ai or web developer uh any go ahead your thoughts on this
47:31
you go ahead sir it's a very general question yeah so this is a it's like you know what you know
47:37
Yeah, it's a big question, big debate. There's no path really. If you ask me, they're all same. It's like they all leads to the same destination. All these paths go to the same destination that your success, you want to get a good job, you want to become, you know, find it
47:59
And it all depends on which one of these you really like the most, right
48:03
What your interest is. In the long run, you'll be more happier if you do something that you like
48:09
But if you become experienced, let's say you are 10, 15 years experienced, chances are you'll end up doing all of these
48:17
It's not one or other. Like data science, machine learning, they're all applicable in different, you know
48:23
However, there are less jobs in data science, machine learning or blockchain or AI compared to, let's say, general web development or app development
48:35
Right. So if your goal is to get a job quickly, you may not find too many data science jobs in your area
48:42
Plus, data science jobs require experienced people, really. So it depends on where you live, what you're looking for
48:49
So you need to think, do a little more research, ask people who are around you like, hey, I
48:56
need to get into the job and I need to just jump into next job
49:00
Is it first job? Is it like you're moving to a different company? So that's how it is
49:04
You have to look at situation. But you can pick any of those sides
49:08
If you just say, you know, I'm just starting. You can be a data scientist
49:12
You can be machine learning. Just pick one and stick with that. Just, you know, that's how it is
49:18
all right looks like a couple of more questions take some questions
49:22
um why dj still loves sublime text editor uh not vs code that's for you danan jay i don't know i
49:33
i'm not editor guy i still love visual studio not even code oh glad pretty you asked this question
49:42
So I love Sublime Text for JavaScript development because I have created a shortcut and when I press Control-B, I can run JavaScript there and there in the editor itself
49:54
So it makes me really productive while giving demo or while teaching
50:00
However, I teach Angular in VS Code. Yeah, Sublime Text in JavaScript, I use that
50:09
There's a shortcut. That's the answer. All right, Simon, why don't you jump in the show? We are almost running out of time. And so what's your face? Hey, Simon, he's the guy behind the show. He's running. He's the producer behind all these shows. How are you, Simon? Where are you joining us and how things are going
50:27
I'm doing great, thanks. I've been watching your show behind the scenes. Amazing discussions. I live nearby Thananjay, actually not far. I'm from a city called Prothuk, so that's not actually far. And I visit Kutkaan almost every weekend to meet my friends. So yeah, nearby
50:45
Awesome, awesome. Yeah, so tell us about what the conference is coming up and you have a big announcement to make today as well
50:53
yeah yeah exactly so as the nandji is here we have an upcoming angular conference on 28th may
51:00
that that's the gate made us run for almost like eight hours so that is the upcoming conference
51:05
that we have uh maybe i could actually go in for it that's in four days yeah that's just in four
51:12
days and we have we have people joining from ionic team angular definitely google
51:21
and uh not gs2 i'm not an angle expert so so yeah what else is coming up after that after that we
51:33
have react conference we have many conferences lined up for june and july after angle we have
51:38
react conference followed by then the code quality and performance conference then we also have
51:44
Women Data Summit. And after that, we have one of the very, very exciting conference that is
51:50
a week-long Azure Summit that's going to run from September 30 to 19
51:56
Wow, that's seven days. That's seven days. I don't know how we are going to do it
52:02
That's crazy. That's crazy. So how did you end up doing for seven days? I thought it was three days
52:09
Yeah, so actually we received an amazing response from the community when we rolled out our call for speakers
52:16
First we thought we'd do it for two days, then it went for three days
52:20
And the more we started accepting the session the speakers like can you believe we have more than 100 speakers unique speakers submitted for this conference more than 100 And by the end of the call for speakers that by July 30th we have at least 250 speakers applied
52:37
So we are definitely rejecting many, many speakers. So that's how we end up doing from three days to seven days
52:44
It's going to stream almost like 18 to 20 hours each day in nine different time zones
52:49
There will be many hosts this time. It's not going to be only me
52:53
there will be many hosts and the exciting part that for today is we are going to launch the website
