Hello, world!

15 Jan 2014

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I hope to use this space to blog about technology and to share things I am researching or learning. I currently work as an independent consultant, programmer, technical writer and teacher, so every now and then I should have something interesting to post here.

I first started using computers to write games, and then for desktop publishing and graphics. That was in the early 90s. Then came the Web and back in 1996 I wrote a book on HTML & CSS, another one on JavaScript two years later, and then spent more than a decade programming in Java, writing about it and teaching. I have taught Java and Web technologies to thousands of students. I have a lot of stuff written in Portuguese, and almost nothing in English, so this blog might be a chance to change that.

I'm also trying to organize some of my course material, sample code, unfinished projects and upload everything to GitHub. There is a lot of old stuff and code that probably does not work anymore, but it might be of use to someone.
