Amazing Site and Young Man - Omar Al Zabir

All I can say is it's a good thing I'm as old as I am, and as firmly involved in my field. If I were the age of Omar Al Zabir, or worse, work anywhere around him, I might pack it in and see about selling used cars or something.

I was minding myself reading my 'morning paper' (my blog roll) this morning and found Omar's article about a Google IG-like web site in AJAX & LINQ. My mouth started to go dry as I was looking at what he'd done, then got to the bottom and found out more information about him... in case you don't recognize the name, Omar is the co-author and CTO of PageFlakes, but then there is his web site.

Omar's web site cannot be described, it MUST be experienced.

2 more Excedrine just because...

Did anyone notice that this guy was born in 1982 and he was working as a developer by 1993. I hate to say it, he is either full of bull or he really has the skills.

Biography
Date of Birth: Sep 5, 1982
Nationality: Bangladeshi by born
Sex: Male
Religion: Islam


Then see his resume stating that he was 1993-1997 SAfeworks Ltd. Dhaka, Bangladesh
Software Developer

Now I am not debunking his skills but come on, what companies hire 11 year old kids to program for them.

Something just looks wrong about that.

I personally know Omar and although it's hard to believe, he was actually developing from the age of 11. SAfeworks Ltd was full of exciting work and there were a number of genius talents who became a part of it. And to add more spice, these kids were working on localized applications and systems at that time (I was also a kid at that time, but alas i was not that prodigy).
