XAML EAD Concepts

Most of the interviewees who claim to have WPF knowledge, talk about hardware acceleration, 3D animation as some of the first few points. Frankly speaking, animation is a paradigm shift for an enterprise application developer's knowledgebase. Also, most of the WPF job requirements tilt towards the enterprise application development rather than the animation side. I bet there are not many end-users who would want rockets flying or crackers bursting in their application although that is not a bad idea and also these are the reasons probably Microsoft came up with XAML / WPF. Definitely zoom-in , zoom-out and transitions couldn't have been as smooth without WPF / XAML and not taking away any credits from those ease-of-programming capabilities with timelines and transitions , just wish to remind that Enterprise Applications are the morose kind coming from a conservative background. Not sure if this thought process can be changed overnight. Even now, when there is so much being talked about HTML5, aimed at a lot of interactivity between the user and the application, need to question about the applicability of it for an enterprise application scenario. But, probably the users are being prepared for such a change-over. Not venturing too much into such nitty-gritties, Databinding in WPF is a clinching EAD concept because a WPF developer can't escape it. Since Databinding is important, the accompaniments would be dependency properties, INotifyPropertyChanged interface. Then, command binding and MVVM pattern are valuable concepts to know. Also, the real capability of XAML can be appreciated only by someone who has a good understanding of layered architecture and patterns like MVP. But, this importance of knowing architectural patterns has got lost somewhere because OOPS concept is normally mis-interpreted equivalent to C# knowledge. XAML is such a paradigm shift from the old days of vb programming that only a good knowledge of patterns can bridge that gap. So, a rounded knowledge is necessary for a WPF EA Developer.

T-Softsol Employee Career Path

When supply does not meet the demand, what happens as a result is innovation. T-Softsol thoroughly believes in this principle. Since T-Softsol has set its targets on niche areas, it is a known fact that building expertise would be the prime challenge. That is where T-Softsol started building course curriculums that capsulize years of toiled real-time project experience. T-Softsol training materials are not the omnipresent course materials available in the market with  the regular theory and practical exercises. T-Softsol curriculum is "project-based". Assoicates are provided training (materials) implementing a real-time project in a step-by-step approach. The employees are mandated to attend these step-by-step project oriented training to get to the next level. What the associate is made to imbibe is how to implement technical concepts and not technical skills. These are value-added trainings because the curriculum is as a result of lot of research and analysis  as to what really a recruiter / manager or an employer wants. Because, the T-Softsol visionaries have been in that pricking seat of a mentor and have seen how modern education system has spoilt the whole concept of education and made it a viable business. We are one among those who want to make a change to our current education system that is thoughtless because it is useless. A resource might be technically strong but what he needs to supplement is a business goal. So, he always need to have the big picture and vision about the project , the end-user and the business as such. This thought leadership is what T-Softsol wants to inculcate in its associates and T-Softsol is not bothered about the wait-time involved in getting the right resources with the right attitude because we know what we want. Our doors are open for anyone and everyone provided, they have the right attitude  towards the concept of business as such. We truly look for "Professionals" and if we can't find one, we believe in building Professionals who think there is no shortcut to good quality. We need associates who believe in us and we take the ownership of charting the career path for them. T-Softsol thus looks for people with high-levels of integrity and commitment - unfortunately such things lack place in our schools except for subject and marks. Pity. We desire to turn it all around someday. Join us if you are one who thinks like us.
