It's has been a long time, as usual, since my last post. But nothing didn't change in this humble place of the web. The Summer season is always one when I try to improve a bit my web development/designing experience, so here I come again with the change that was needed for this time: the design.

I must not lie, the first design of this webpage reflected my (un)experience in the field, being my very first serious attempt of making something aesthetic in CSS. As usual in the first tries, they seldom come to the level we desire. I needed a clean, minimalistic, open design, and this was what followed. I surprised myself in this process, and loved the change.

Of course a good design, as Apple's products sometimes show to us, usually compromises several functionalities that a poorer could have. This place has now a blogish interface, a all-in-one-page kind of design, and so loosed several not so important features it had. Search is now gone, I think you can do it better on google, and the contact form was replaced by the email you can check at the footer.  The other ones will soon come, such as my del.icio.us links, last.fm last listens and projects area.

Anyway, I hope you like it, and report anything unusual you may find.

Oh no! - you say, but yes, another website, and another blog.

This was the result of my desire to update the (almost) null knowledge that I had about web programming (see, I always had been an offline programmer...). With the Summer's beginning I instantly started working and learning all that is needed these days to produce a fine website: HTML, CSS, web programming language and/or framework. My choice for language was Ruby supported by the great RubyOnRails framework. I don't want to say that other languages' frameworks can't do the same, but Rails really gives to the developer what it promotes: focus on what's important.

For now, I'm in a great turning point, with the beginning of the school's year, and what a school's year: I'm finally on college!

This blog and site will be my diary of discoveries, personal opinions, and much more, not only in english, but also in portuguese.

See you later. 

 

P.S.: I've to thank to Pedro Diogo, Sérgio Santos and Alices Fonseca for the great support and patience!
