My Interview at MicrosoftFeed.com

If you don't know about MicrosoftFeed, Its a really good blog for Microsoft news, tutorials on Microsoft technologies and etc. When I first saw it, I thought that it was ran by Microsoft but it is run by Pakistani MVP, Ali Raza Shaikh. I never knew Pakistan had so much talent. MicrosoftFeed recently conducted my interview which you can see here: http://microsoftfeed.com/2011/meet-mauhib-iqbal-youngest-mcts-and-user-group-leader-from-pakistan/

Giveaway – ‘JetBrains ReSharper ‘

What is ReSharper

JetBrains ReSharper is a productivity add-in to Microsoft Visual Studio that, by extending native Visual Studio functionality, facilitates professional development using C#, VB.NET, XML, XAML, build scripts, and unit tests. It has the ability to make any C# project error-free without the need for continuous compilation, or navigation tools spanning the whole solution.

How ReSharper Helps Visual Studio Users

• Continuous code quality analysis in C#, XAML, XML, ASP.NET, and ASP.NET MVC.
• Instant fixes to eliminate errors and code smells.
• 40 solution-wide refactorings to safely change your code base, and 200+ code editing helpers.
• Extended web development support with code inspections, code generation, navigation, and extended IntelliSense.
• Navigation features to let you instantly traverse your whole solution.
