Simpler things

I'm a 46 years old programmer. I came from a world where things were simpler.

When I started my career there were only a couple of tools and different jobs in this sector. If you learnt C, COBOL, Pascal and Assembler you could work in almost every position. Java was a cutting-edge technology when it was launched

I was working in IT for more than fifteen years, but a couple of years ago I started to work as a teacher after two years of being a bank cashier. All that time I've been trying to keep my knowledge up-to-date in web development (the branch I was specialized in) but it's almost an impossible task. Technology is developing at an exponential rate and is difficult to have a base knowledge of the more relevant tools and practices.

As I want to work in development again, I'll start some projects, make some experiments and take some courses to explore where could I go now. My goal for the next years is to work from home with flexible schedule and earn 200k euros per year.I think is a very ambitious goal, but I'll keep it in mind and will see where I can arrive.

I'll start with this blog. What did we do in simpler times when somebody needed a blog?: a static page. Let's build one.
