Briefly about me
I am Federico Magno Mieres, from Buenos Aires Argentina.
About my study
In 2012, I have already finished my studies and have the diploma of my undergraduate studies program of Technician in Software Programming (Técnico en Programación Informática -TPI- in Spanish) in Universidad Nacional de Quilmes (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
In these days, I am taking courses of the university diploma of Licenciature of Software Development (Licenciatura en Desarrollo de Software -in Spanish) in the same University.
My interests
I have worked mainly with Functional Programming, but I am also interested in Object-Oriented Paradigm.
My non-Smalltalk experiences so far
My experiences cover different technologies.
I have worked in a typical web application using Java, Spring and Hybernate. I have developed a small ORM for HBase in Java.
Also, my final report of the university diploma was the development of a RPG (Role Playing Game) using Haskell.
Right now, I am learning how to combine Scala and Android to make them work in a collaborative way.
My Smalltalk experiences so far
I've mainly worked with Pharo. I did my first steps to emulate a PL used in our university diploma to teach programming with procedural paradigm in the first TPI lectures. It was simple when I implemented it but two years later using the capabilities of Helvetia, I managed to implement a more stable and accurate version of the application.
In addition, I worked some time developing the Scala's Trait in Smalltalk (Smalltalk's traits with state). it was my own final proyect in the Lecture of Advanced Object-Oriented Paradigm in my undergraduate studies.
Why am I interested in Smalltalk?
The pure object model provides powerful capabilities to work with the pure paradigm object-message.
Secondly, I think that the community is very collaborative.
While i was with my projects at university course using Smalltalk (and using the web stackoverflow about questions of programming http://stackoverflow.com/) I met some Smalltalkers willing to answer or help me and I really liked that feeling.
Will I stay with Smalltalk after the project is finished?
Personally, I am open to different technologies, and I am not limited to work with only one. However, I consider that Smalltalk as the first OOP language to understand and learn the basic and advanced concepts.
