10 anni di Linux Let me tell you something that concerns me. For various reasons - but mainly due to lack of time - I do very rarely, even among these disordered pages which should in some way about me.

Ten years ago I worked for a company in Milan with the task of the consultant to place their clients in outsourcing. I worked mainly on interface design and development in Visual C + + and I followed a series of very interesting projects for the time, according to Z the realization of a client-server solution that fully exploits the most advanced features than the time was the best database available on the market: Oracle .

In short, I worked with those technologies were then considered excellent, much sought by hunters head of the goddamn New Economy. For me it was the natural conclusion of a long process: in one way or another I had always grown - in parallel with studies of science and humanities - my passion for computer science, from the very first debut on the legendary Commodore 64 that I received as a gift in 1986, light years ago. The friends used it just to play, but for me the fun was in the creation of simple programs in Basic CBM. I had been fascinated by War Games , like any other boy of my generation. Read the rest »

Bergamo Sera For several days I removed the. Htaccess file that prevented the non-experts access to the pages of Bergamo Evening , the new online newspaper dedicated to the province of Bergamo, which I developed for Metropole Media Srl. In a sense, this corresponds to a sort of unofficial publication of the magazine, even though in reality the editors of Bergamo Sera has not issued any official announcement, and still retains some of the offline features developed specifically for this portal. Goggle did not like the presence of. Htaccess is beginning to map the domain only now. Before the official launch of the head, therefore, it may take even a handful of days. I wanted to make a gift to those who pass here, perhaps in exchange let me have your thoughts on how the magazine is organized: tips, advice and criticism are always welcome. Obviously the text has already been registered with the competent court and who directs the editorial staff has all the credentials to do so: Bergamo Sera is in effect a periodical publication. I am interested only opinions and comments about the features and layouts, whatever else you can report directly to the Editorial Page http://www.bergamosera.com/cms/scrivi-alla-redazione/ . An important note: the entire project was built with Open Source technologies.
