Welcome!

Welcome to my brand new blog. First of all, I need to tell you all that my english is not perfect since my primary language is French, but I'll do the best as I can to write quality posts here.

Why do I start this new blog among all others? I had a personal blog a couple of years ago (it's still online, but I'm not posting on it anymore), but now I want to switch to something more professional; somewhere I can share my professional experiences and discoveries. As I am trying to learn new technologies as they get created, this blog may help people find more easily solutions to problems I have stumbled over too. So don't expect a flood of posts in here, but I'll do my best to maintain this blog.

So what is my background? I'm an undergraduate software engineer at the École the technologie supérieure (ÉTS) in Montréal, Québec, Canada. I'm also a graduate student in computer science of what we call here in Québec a DEC, which is a college diploma we can get instead of going to university. But I had a feeling that is was missing a lot of things, so I've decided to go to the university. I have done many personal and professional projects using LAMP (Linux + Apache + mySQL + PHP) technologies, but also with Microsoft technologies (C#, VB, etc.) I also had the opportunity to work with old technologies in a mainframe environment (Cobol, Easythrieve, Natural). So I have a broad experience and this is why I can and I want to share my discoveries here.

I hope you'll find what you need here and feel free to contact me if you have any question or comment.
