&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;About this Blog&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deliverables:&lt;br /&gt;
I have explained the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Deliverables&lt;/span&gt; in the blog-header. In case you have missed it, please read it by scrolling to the top of this page!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Objective:&lt;br /&gt;
To provide the said &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Deliverables &lt;/span&gt;when feasible, &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to help in one&#39;s efforts to:&lt;br /&gt;
• Understand &amp;amp; appreciate the essence of a new subject,&lt;br /&gt;
• Get a grip on its Big Picture,&lt;br /&gt;
• Make an objective assessment of its use in the real world,&lt;br /&gt;
• Converse intelligently with confidence in a tech-savvy group,&lt;br /&gt;
• Deal smartly with the supposedly tech-proficient Juniors, Peers, Seniors and Specialists,&lt;br /&gt;
• Keep in touch with the trends&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caution:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Please bear in mind that the Technologies (and my understanding of them) are continuously evolving &amp;amp; changing; and so the contents of my blog-posts can not be taken for granted to reflect the current (and correct)  status of the concerned subject at any time!&lt;/div&gt;
Note:&lt;a class=&quot;dsphead&quot; href=&quot;javascript:;&quot; id=&quot;bnote&quot; title=&quot;Toggle this to Show/Hide explanatory notes&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;dspchar&quot; id=&quot;190709snote&quot;&gt;+&lt;/span&gt; In the posts, toggling blue links like this one will Show/Hide optional explanatory notes.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;190709pnote&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #e1ecff; display: none; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like this one! :-) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on your level of familiarity with the topic you may optionally read them!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a class=&quot;dsphead&quot; href=&quot;javascript:;&quot; id=&quot;bnoteb&quot;&gt;Hide&amp;nbsp;this&amp;nbsp;note&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;About Me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Only those of you who are very particular (like a prerequisite!) in knowing my professional background may bother to read &#39;About Me&#39; below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Others may happily skip it :-) and get to reading the posts!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&#39;s it.   Best wishes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When my friends asked me to write this blog, I considered it a privilege as well as a motivation to learn more in the process of sharing the info on the subjects I keep exploring; the info as absorbed by me and tempered by my hands-on experience of decades in Software Industry in diverse roles&lt;br /&gt;
• as Developer, Architect, Technologist, Manager, CIO, Innovator, Entrepreneur, Director, Consultant and Tech-Speaker; &lt;br /&gt;
• also by my professional involvement with Start-Ups, SMBs, Corporates, Large Enterprises and Multinationals;  &lt;br /&gt;
• and backed by suitable qualifications in Mathematics and Management from leading institutions; &lt;br /&gt;
but above all, by learning over the years from the amazing thoughts of a countless number of brilliant technologists, innovators, researchers, professionals, managers, entrepreneurs and authors whose works and contributions have been a great source of inspiration and knowledge to me. I thank them all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a class=&quot;dsphead&quot; href=&quot;javascript:;&quot; id=&quot;bme2&quot; title=&quot;Toggle this to Show/Hide more!&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;dspchar&quot; id=&quot;190709sme2&quot;&gt;+&lt;/span&gt; I also gratefully thank the Divine for my pleasure of living in the software world.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;190709pme2&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #e1ecff; display: none; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: John Keats, Endymion, 1818. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If John Keats was around today, then his reference could well have been to the science &amp;amp; art of software technology!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Very few things match the pleasure of creative work of a human mind in which the journey gives more joy than the destination! It becomes more so when the subject is software technology. Its beauty of cold logic challenges the mind to think beyond the ordinary, to create a vision to surpass known boundaries; to produce thoughts leading to products that would make Innovation the mother of necessity!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I gratefully thank the Divine for introducing me to this exciting field at the right time in my life; and for making it both my Profession and Hobby for decades; and thus making this excitement a permanent component of my life.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&#39;s it! Thanks for your interest. Welcome to the Posts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a class=&quot;dsphead&quot; href=&quot;javascript:;&quot; id=&quot;bmeb&quot;&gt;Hide&amp;nbsp;this&amp;nbsp;note&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
