Where the journey starts and where it might lead.

We're at day 0 of this project, so let's have a look at where I stand now.

I'm a student of commercial information systems. During my studies and in intern and open source jobs, I've mostly worked with multi-platform or Unix/Linux applications in C/C++, but also touched Java and C#. In the time before, I've briefly worked with XHTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL during an internship, back when nobody really knew what AJAX meant.

About two years ago, due to a strong interest in linguistics, I became interested in functional programming and experimented with languages like Erlang, Haskell and finally Common Lisp.

You should therefore expect lesser known frameworks on my list, written in more obscure languages. This includes Furnace written in Factor or Seaside written in Smalltalk.

Depending on how I like a framework and the language it's written in, I might not write much about it. And I don't know yet what to write, but we're only at day 0 and there's no reason to worry about this now. Let's see, I'm looking forward to this experience.
