Open Source software in not much in use in India compared to other countries primarily because of the lack of awareness among the developer communities
Developers in India are not much aware about open source technologies and there aren't much good development tools and support for them, says Joydip Kanjilal, ASP.NET professional at Microsoft, in conversation with CIOL.
How do you see software developer community in India?
The software developer community in India is at par with the west and is touted to rise in the coming years. There is plenty of scope and talent in the software developer community in India.
Where do you see the usage of open source software as against proprietary software from the developer community?
Open Source software in not much in use in India compared to other countries primarily because of the lack of awareness among the developer communities in the country.
However, with the state governments in India making open source an integral part of the state's IT policy, things might change over time. Usage of proprietary software has reduced over time and open source software is slowly getting popular.
How do you see the developer community involved with the Linux OS as against Windows based OS?
The developer community in India would continue to be more involved with Windows based OS than Linux OS.
There is a lot of user communities supporting Windows based development as against Linux based development. There isn't much good development tools and support for Linux based development yet, but, yes, it is picking up these days.
Being an independent software consultant and author of many books, which technology / platform will be used by most of the developers in 2010? and why?
I feel WCF and Rest would be the most sought after technologies in 2010 as far as .NET and its related technologies are concerned. Also, cloud computing would be very popular over time.
According to you, what's the best way to motivate developer community?
The developer community can be motivated best with seminars, conferences, etc, where they can participate.
How do you feel to be part of SPARK IT 2010 and what message you would like to give for aspiring engineers/developers?
I am excited to be a part of SPARK IT 2010 and would look forward to the event with keen interest. I feel great to be selected as a speaker among so many reputed international speakers.
The aspiring engineers/developers should develop their basics to the best possible standards. The need of the hour for them is to devote more and more time developing their basics and they should also participate in events, conferences and seminars so as to develop their skills and awareness.
