At some point of time I had to build websites and using ASP.net was an overkill. One of my professor asked me to use a CMS like Drupal or WordPress. I was not a fan of open source technology and I was not in impression to use any open source tech in anyway, so I didn&#8217;t touched either of it until after an year I had to build a Groupon-like website and I planned to use DotNetNuke (.net CMS). I wasn&#8217;t able to make it on time and had to surrender myself on using WordPress. That project was a huge fail and it made an impact on me and for a developer who earned a university level first prize building a AI driven robotic arms that was obvious. But this made me learn on why to spend time on re-inventing things and why not to focus on building what is missing. I left .net and embedded system programming forever and continued my journey of building proprietary solutions using WordPress as core.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2540\" src=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/files\/2019\/10\/wpx-houston-logo-wordcamp-dfw-2019-sponsor.jpg\" alt=\"WPX Houston Logo WordCamp DFW 2019 Sponsor\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/10\/wpx-houston-logo-wordcamp-dfw-2019-sponsor.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dfw.wordcamp.org\/2019\/files\/2019\/10\/wpx-houston-logo-wordcamp-dfw-2019-sponsor-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>They are also dedicated and committed to quality, and helping their customers.<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div><em style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif\">Our motive is not to be another Digital Marketing Agency or just Another Website Building company; Instead our motive is to use WordPress as an Operating System for Web that can power every nature of Web Application.
