1. Who are you, where are you, and what do you do? What are your specialty technologies?

Smiley day to all J . My Name is SYED SHANU, I am from Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India .Presently I am working for ZEMAX Solution, Seoul, South Korea. I have completed my Master of Computer Application in 2005 and since from that time to till now I am working for Microsoft Technologies.

My work experience with Language and Technology start’s from ASP and SQL Server, Then VB.NET and C# for PDA Application, Touch Screen Application Development, Desktop Application, ASP.NET Web Application Development, MVC and WPF.I love to work with Microsoft technology as I started to work on .Net Frame Work version from 1.0 to 4.6.

I had also worked with HMI (Human Machine Interface) programs like PLC, Nutrunner Tools, and Sensor programs, RFID programs, Barcode programs etc. using C#.

I am a positive thinker. As per my view nothing is impossible, if anyone try and do hard-work he/she can achieve anything. I love challenges and believe in innovative ideas/work. With this thought, I have written few innovative articles.

And another important thing apart from writing Article and Contributing for community is my family. I usually spend lots of time with my family and we love to visit places and have fun. The below photo was taken at Gwangalli Beach @ Busan, Korea.

 4. What do you do with TechNet Wiki, and how does that fit into the rest of your job?

First I would like to thank the TechNet Wiki team for creating this great platform. The reason for thanking them is:

  1.  I feel TechNet Wiki is making a live platform where we can share our Knowledge and readers can enjoy the benefit of asking their questions by posting comment on articles.

  2. TechNet Wiki Encouraging Authors by allowing authors themselves to nominate their article for TechNet Guru Monthly Contributions and selecting best 3 articles category wise.

I have seen many good articles which helps me lot .There are few Authors whose articles impress me a lot they are Chervine, Emiliano Musso , Richard Mueller , Carmelo La Monica and many others.

    I am still a learner, there is lots of things need to be learn on Microsoft Technology. I always read new and old articles from TechNet Wiki which makes me fresh and give me more ideas to write better articles for community.

6. Do you have any tips for new Wiki authors?

For new Authors I would like to say, keep on contributing without expecting anything. Sharing our knowledge with others is a great art. Share your thoughts with easy steps so that fresher’s and others can get more benefit. Don’t worry about any negative comments, take all the negative as positive and focus on how to make things better. Your each contribution is more valuable, which will stands for years and years and day by day more and more people will get benefit from that.

I personally feel Source Code is very important for learners. I would like to kindly request all the authors to add source code and explain your work step by step from A to Z .Starting from how to create the project till how to run the project. It will be more helpful for everyone especially for fresher’s, If we give step by step explanation along with the source code. Thank u all.
