Being a "genius" is not the same as a "programming prodigy". In order to be a "programming prodigy" you have to "program" something. The above comment was asking for evidence that this very smart girl "programmed" something. Neither claiming Pakistan is a poor programming environment nor that she is an MCP (very impressive BTW) constitutes such evidence.

>In order to be a "programming prodigy" you have to "program" something Programming an actual product is but just ONE measure of someone's programming prowess. Standardized tests is another one, and one that is quite Valid. In fact, it's the one used by almost every Technology Company out there to gauge programming skill and aptitude. Passing of MS Certification , at her age, in my book atleast is valid evidence.
