This text was on the home page of the site, but after updating it I decided to move it to the blog? 1998 - Discovering computers At elementary school, I discovered computers.

At the same time, I got an Amstrad CPC equipped with BASIC, which marked the beginning of...

This week's article is all about developers, yes ... there's something for everyone. How are you? Whit Monday and all that ... yeah well, that's no reason to get up and get to work. What's a slug?
