I know, this title is the biggest cliche a programmer can do when writting his first blog post. But anyway… Hello, World!

This is the first post of my blog! My name is Renato and I’m a Computer Science (CS) master student at Universidade de São Paulo.

I’m a brazilian, so why am I writing in English? Well, I have 2 reasons:

• I’ll write my thesis in English, so this is a great opportunity to practice the language.
• I’m kinda megalomaniac and I believe that the things I write may worth for someone (so I want to write in the language that everyone in the tech field can read).

As a general note, the purpose of this blog is:

Write about everything that pop out of my head.

But actually I think the content will be (mostly) about CS stuff. Let’s see!

As a reader, you may ask: why are you starting a blog right now?

In the last couple months I’ve been updating my knowledge about web programming. In this time I’ve learned a lot through blogs around the internet.

However, once in a while I try todo something that nobody has written about. It saying it better: I think nobody has written about it in the way that would have helped me to solve my problem simply and directly. Creating a blog is a way to register my solutions and share them with people like me.

The turning point that made me make this blog real was an excellent post about academic blogging made by Professor Matt Might from University of Utah (USA). If you are a grad student and never heard about him, read s blog right now! He has excellent tips for life in academia.

Well, that’s all folks! At least for now. I hope you enjoy reading this blog! If you want to talk with me, just send an email or use the social networks.
