João Pedro and your PalmTop
[Vejam esse "Hello Word!" em mais de 336 linguagens! ]
João Pedro Lemos, I, of course (left-hander)!
Living in Goiânia-GO (hometown). When I was a small, did baby-advertising.. My first computer, win with 7 years old (in 2001), was top [for the time, yes .. lol], one Pentium 1 400 MHz | 128 MB de RAM | HD 20 GB [I never fill half]. With it, I had my firsts and bests experiences with a computer, played MarioBros, StreetFighter, MortalKombat to hurt the fingers of the hand.
To 11 years (in 2005), was presented to HTML with CSS. Remember that I created the site from school(today is the same o.O) where I was studying, for a newcomer, is not bad. [was a trash]
In the same year, met @Diego(friend), he showed me the free software, had heard about Unix, but had never interested me really, downloaded Fedora Core 6 [the best of all versions] and started to use Linux. I haven’t had much difficulty to adapt myself to Gnome, betimes, already using Eclipse, Inkscape, GIMP and others.
During this time, I was influenced, again by the influence of @Diego, for codes, I started with the old and good C. Compile, run and “I suffered, nights and nights trying agreed on the Information Highway” (GATES, Bill. The Road of the Future, 1995); the tao of inheritance, constructors, destructors. At the end of the “suffering” dum… OOP and one algorithm that extracts roots, sine, cosine, tangent, pi, Pythagoras, Torricelli and many other mathematical and physical functions. Ohh … the mathematics, eternal love, has been in international Olympiads in 2006 (with 12 years).
After, something more than advanced HTML, Java Script, CSS 3.0, server-side ASP(I hate).
Update the Fedora and came to version 7, many changes, many new things [buged almost all my librarys and therefore my programs]. Experiences with Fedora was great!
Decided to further myself in web world. Asp, .net, PHP, chose PHP, understand “choice” PHP, the opportunity took me to this wonderful language.. I had a contact with PHP, again, through @Diego, and we go again! Nights and nights and is the agreed Joomla!
Photoshop, Corel Draw, Fireworks, Flash (AS 3.0). Entered the world Ajax, WebStandards, XML.
Some scripts in ASP.net, C#, JSP e Python. Praise to Python, influence of Adriano, Umit Project‘s mentor (the nmap frontend). Part of GSoC 2008 voluntarily and contributing to the UmitWeb. This year much Java Script, Python, and Coke(could not miss).
Nowadays, I’m sustained by Big Daddy(Columbia Pictures,1999) , João I[the father, ever! ], and developed in PHP5 OOP for web solutions. I’m a fan CMS, use Joomla! Also develop in Python for desktop applications and use the library pyGTK.
Use Fedora, Use Firefox, Use Zend Studio, Use MySQL [only while Diego had not yet discovered, the praise PostGreSQL! ].
I’m the Free Software, I love the Free Software, but I recognize the qualities of Microsoft and Apple. And the folks of the open source, not be angry with me, because these qualities really exist!
In constantly updated!
Update (Dec-2008): I finalized the school and now I’ll start the high school. I also start the studies for ZCE (Zend Certification Engineer and LPI(Linux Professional Institute).
Update (Jul-2009): I’m loving to physics. I studied the 3 books-year of physics in 6 months oO. Now, I’m on vacation and participating of Umit Project work in development packages RPM.
