I'm a Software Engineer, graduated at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain) on 2008. I've been doing web development for quite a long time now, and I consider this to be not only my profession but my hobby as well. So this is why I decided to start my own blog, so I could share some of the things I enjoy doing. I hope my blog can be helpful in some way or another!

There’s no doubt that nowadays open source software is everywhere you look at… including this same blog. One could say that Information Technologies have gotten to where they are now partially because of open source software. Either if you are an active open source programmer or you think that open source software is the reincarnation of the Devil on Earth, a good outlook and a small synthesis of what it means is always good to have.
