Recently I did 4 Days Dotnet Windows Communication Foundation training at Bank of Ceylon (BOC).
I covered following topics at the training.
Introduction to WCF Developing WCF Service Application and Client Endpoints in configuration file Channel Stacks & Bindings in WCF Understanding Service and Data Contracts Handling WCF Exceptions/Faults Message Exchange Patterns Transactions Microsoft Message Queue Security
DirectX 12 is an expert API which builds on knowing the ins & outs of DirectX 11. DirectX 12 is an extremely low-level API designed for graphic experts who have a solid understanding of the architecture of modern GPU hardware, and can essentially write the DirectX 11 Runtime from scratch. Both DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 provide access to the same hardware features on Windows 10, but drive the hardware in different ways which can allow a well-optimized DirectX 12 engine to achieve much lower CPU overhead than in DirectX 11.

Last month I got an email from Microsoft saying that I have been awarded Microsoft Visual Studio and Development Technologies MVP title for Year 2016.
It was really memorable moment for me. And proud to be a Microsoft MVP for this year. Also this is my 7th Years as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP).
There are now total 991 MVPs for Visual Studio and Development Technologies.
