.NET Version Themes

.NET is not an invention but is an accidental discovery by the VB enhances team working within Microsoft. In the begin all they wanted to have a component that would cover the memory leaks found in VB version 6. By investing time and resources towards researching for a tool, they have realized the concept of the Garbage Collector. So, the first point that is evolved towards the .NET is the GC to manage the resources. Hence, the word Managed Code evolved. Later the different components like JIT evolved. This is a long story, to cut it short we have the version 1 of .NET with common language compatibility and the MSIL has been the Intermediate language for runtime compilation.

Thus, the version 1 is totally concentrated on the term “Managed Code”, thus CLR is the initial theme of .NET. There are few drawbacks and limitations which couldn’t work with the large scaled application development. Major of the limitations are resolved and a new extension for v1 is releases as v1.1 and this became the first stable runtime for .NET framework

v1 / v1.1 = Managed Code

No company would be idle with the successful release. They would definitely be working towards the new features as well as some extra features that can be added to the current version to make it much better. Especially Microsoft being the pioneer in development of programming languages, we could expect that they foresee the new trends and the industry standards. As a result, they have worked towards the next version of .NET and this time their main concentration is about making the class entity towards extensible to the maximum possible. Thus, I consider that they have introduced the “Partial” keyword to extend the visibility of the class into many files. Apart of this, I also think that Generics is the main concept of this version.

v2 = Generics

By this time, .NET started grabbing the industry position and became more stable development as well as faster development environment for many of the industry leaders to adopt the .NET as their primary programming platform. The programmers has become more intelligent and started developing large scaled applications. This is also the time for the service oriented architecture evolved and Business Investors started fancy about this buzz word, SOA, ie., Service Oriented Architecture. Basically .NET is built to be loosely coupled entities and the Investors started visualizing the new kind of applications with SOA, there evolved a concept of unknown type entities. Hence the keyword “Anonymous” has become the key theme for the next version. Microsoft has taken a huge leap at this junction, which they couldn’t jump. Resulted a failure of version 3.0 and an interim patches are released. Windows Work Flow / Windows Presentation Foundation / Windows Communication Foundation are also part of version 3, but later they have evolved as individual entities. The R&D team also shed some light in LINQ, for all these the main key word is the Anonymous. Thus, the new version 3.5 is released with an ideology behind the “Anonymous” Keyword. Examples for anonymous are, anonymous methods, anonymous objects, anonymous delegates, etc.,

V3.5 = Anonymous

Am not exploring much about the latest version, but all I’ve read from various blogs is that the theme for the framework 4 is “Parallel”. This key word is mostly used as parallel processing, parallel computing, co-existence, coherence, etc.,

V4 = Parallel

What the readers think of my understanding towards each theme verses each version?

Network Intrusion Detection using Supervised ML technique

Declaimer This is my initial version of the synopsis for PhD studies. There are plenty of things that i have to complete before i prepare the final version. Thus, this would be the alpha version. Due to the length of the blog post, will not be posting the entire draft. 1.Title of the thesis Network Intrusion Detection using Supervised Machine Learning Technique with Feature Selection 2.Introduction Intrusion Detection System, IDS, is a development which improve the network security and defending the information of the association. The IDS encourage the network chairman to recognize any malicious action on the network and alarms the executive to get the information made sure about by taking the appropriate activities against those attacks. An intrusion alludes to any unauthorized access or malicious usage of data assets. An intruder or an attacker is a true element that attempts to discover a way to increase unauthorized access to data, causes hurt or take part in different

Keep the system active, to avoid the auto lock

Most of the corporate offices will have a policy for screen locking. While working with a long running applications at background, like the automation scripts for testing the applications, it would be difficult to maintain the unlock state of the screen. Thus, we found a technique to keep the system active with a cheating technique. Below is the powershall scripts that keeps the system active ' I am clicking on NUMLOCK for every 5 seconds to keep the system awake Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")'to get user name numOfHours=inputbox("Hi " & objNetwork.UserName & ", How many hours you want me to be awake? :->") 'time variable conatins the time in hours Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Creating an object for clicking keys from keyboard numOfMilliSecs=numOfHours*3600*1000 'converting hours to milli seconds While numOfMilliSecs>0 'runs until tym becomes zero WshShell.Send

Common mistakes by Interviewer

Now-a-days am conducting few interviews for our organization. While sitting in the other side of the table, I've visualized why most of the interviews fail with me. But when conducting these interviews, most of the candidates are attending with self confidence that they are suitable for the mentioned role and attend without preparation. When people do some real preparation, they tend to fail due to lack of awareness at the interviewer towards interviewing techniques. Having failed in many interviews, I've learned that the interviews fail because of the following... Reflection (or) Mirroring: The interviewer tends to see self within the candidate. The interviewer starts to compare self with the candidate and evaluate. This evaluation is totally personal. The yard stick for measuring the candidature is not generalized, but influenced.   Template (or) Checklist: The interviewer has a template of a questionnaire. The interviewer measures the candidate with respect to the list of st
