Today, I was searching something about the ASP.net server controls when, by luck, I come across the biodata of Scott Mitchell. I browsed through his biodata casually but one piece of information held my stare. I was not able to move my eyes away from it. Definetly, it was not his photograph.

 

This was the section of his resume where he has put his skill set. He gave ratings to his skills, out of 10. What caused my eyes to be immobilized and brain to come at halt was his rating in ASP.net. He gave himself 10 out of 10. This was the first time when I came to know that somebody can state that he knows everything in ASP.net.

 

Curiosity made me to investigate further about the guy. I leanred that he is the cheif architect of ASP.net. In his own words, "Hello! My name is Scott Mitchell, and I am the editor, founder, and primary contributor to 4GuysFromRolla.com". Apart from this, he has authored six books on classic asp and asp.net. To my surprise, he has written more than 1000 articles.

 

His skill set look like:

 

Web Technologies			Database Technologies			Programming Languages/Platforms
ASP	10		T-SQL	10		C#	9
ASP.NET	10		SQL Server 2000/2005	7		Visual Basic	8
Web Services	8		Microsoft Access	5		.NET Framework	9
PHP	2		XML	7		Java	3
Perl	2		XQuery	5		VBScript	8
JSP	2					C++	2

When I was completely lost into his biodata, one of my teammate came to my seat. He asked, "what are you looking at, Yanesh? Whose resume is this?"

 

And I replied, almost unconsciously, "I want to ve Scott Mitchell".
