Adaptive Nature
During my keynote session at the C# Corner Annual Conference 2014, I emphasized one line – C# Corner is an open community. And I talked about the meaning of openness and so on. In other words, on the C# Corner platform, we do anything that helps developers, regardless of technologies and platforms.
I want to pass on the same message to the developers.
Be open to new things. Be adaptive.
Don't just limit yourself to a single project, platform and/or technology. You may end up working for a company that has projects on multiple platforms. Your new company may have one project in .NET and the other in PHP. They may be using Oracle for some projects and SQL Server for some. I have been there. So just be open minded. Learn as much as you can and be open to anything new that is thrown at you. Now, you have just become one of the most valuable assets to the company. You’re the “go-to” guy. It may sound frustrating from time to time but trust me, it’s a good thing.
If you don’t have hands-on experience in something, at least you should know what it is. It helps. If your boss asks, "Have you worked on Xamarin?" You should be able to say, "No, I have not. But I know we can build iOS, Android, and Windows Phone apps using C# language." Guess what, you just scored 8 points out of 10. Now your boss knows, if there is work to do on Xamarin, you will be the guy sitting next to him in the next meeting.
The Stereotype
It’s funny, me being a Microsoft MVP and other things I do being related to Microsoft, a lot of people think I do not like other platforms or technologies.

It was 2010 when I joined C-sharpcorner.com . Since then I visit this site almost everyday. Despite being into one technology. I have been attending most of the seminars in c-sharpcorner even if they were not related to my technology or the kind of work I do. I have been criticized by many of my friends that why to go for other technologies. Thank you Mahesh sir for guiding us . You always inspires us. Your every suggestion gives us direction to move ahead and achieve our best. Thank C-sharpcorner for serving us.
