“The sun shines between two mountains and there is a house below”
Remember the scenery?? Every kid knows how to draw that on paper
or was thought to do so in kinder garden. At the age of 6, there was a feeling
that made me think I was better at it, recreating the same drawing with better
shapes and beautiful coloring.
It was virtually, on MS Paint. Without me knowing this, Microsoft
was running in the background helping me bring out my artistic skills,
startling me with the possibilities of computer and computing and igniting the
love for technology that has grown into my life’s passion.

How Microsoft has impacted my Life:
Hello,
this is Sarthak Dubey, from National Institute of Technology, Silchar, and this
is my biography, how Microsoft has impacted my life and how as a MSA, I plan to
bring about a change to the society.
Well,
Paint, was just the beginning. It is for lot of my generation. Eventually, I
was introduced to Windows, and that’s when I was blown away by the sheer amount
of things I could do. Impact of Microsoft in the field of technology is so
strong that many of people don't know any other name of
operating System than Windows. But now i could create documents, edit
them, play cards, pinball and when my dad taught me how to use the rows and
columns in excel to store my friend’s birthdays, and I was damn excited.
Looking back to those days now, I can proudly tell that, with Windows, I was
induced into the Microsoft ecosystem.
The
era has changed quite a lot since the beginning of the Microsoft, when I wasn’t
even born. That time all Microsoft had was an OS that had a revolutionary power
to change everything that we do now. Starting off with few apps and OS, today
Microsoft has got their legs in every technology product. Today, People
all around the world are dependent on two things. Firstly – phones, tablets,
notebooks, which can be basically called computer and Secondly – The Internet.
These two have changed every single thing. Now I do my projects, update myself
with the new trends, learn and develop new skills using these tools, I am
heavily dependent on it and so I utilize the resources efficiently. But these
skills isn’t something I acquired overnight, this is the result of the impact
Microsoft had on my life.
Then
came the time when Microsoft released their own Framework, .NET. Although it
was made to attract java developers but the ease of use with .Net Framework is
something which you can only feel. I learnt java for few days, but then I read
a book about C# and since then I have been a fan of Visual Studio and the whole
.Net package. Developing application with .Net is way too easy and I would
agree on a statement by Bill Gate that “if you can type, then you can code”;
and this was all that I needed to start off with the development of Windows
Phone Applications coded in C#.
I
love to spread the knowledge I gain and learning new things means sharing them,
because it’s difficult for me to do it alone. But being a MSA, I will
have a platform that is backed by Microsoft for uniting ideas, spreading the
efforts of Microsoft to help students educate themselves with the latest tools
in the market and realize their potential. This will not only help in the
growth of me and my fellow student and friends in my college but I believe
together we can create an impact on student especially my juniors who haven’t
yet been exposed to these wonders.
My Plan as Microsoft Student Associate:
I
would also like to organize talks and boot camps to exhibit Microsoft’s
determination in helping students develop apps. Being a student, it’s an
expensive affair to buy software required for development. But Microsoft
has given me tools like windows 8.1 enterprise Preview, Visual studio 2012
Express edition to learn and develop windows 8.1 apps for phones, tablets, and
PCs alike, and all for free of cost and I believe that these things has to be
taken to the students of my college so that they can do the same amazing things
as well.
My ultimate aim as Microsoft Student Associate
would be to bring Microsoft Enthusiasts forward and motivate them to do more
with Microsoft. And be a part of the prestigious organization. Through
this, I would also like to share the amazing resources present in the Microsoft
Virtual Academy, and the webinars conducted that would help many of them to
start with something simple and get advanced on it.
I
would also like to hold seminars on the elegant cloud platform, the “Microsoft
Azure”. Bring it to the notice of the budding developers and entrepreneurs, as
to how no matter what Operating system they like (be it Windows, Mac or Linux)
or the platform they prefer (android with java, or python web development),
they can develop, host apps or business on Azure. I look forward to spread
Microsoft’s message with Azure which is to “Experience the best
infrastructure, save on costs, integrate on data and build anything by using
what you already know!”
We
at NIT have capacities to come up with such out of the box ideas and being a
MSA, I am positive that I can take these messages to every student so that
everyone at least gets to try and make a difference.
This
is not the ending, it’s the beginning and there is lot more to come and will be
greatly presented by me as a MSA.
