It's done, I'm a computer science engineer.

Good news!! at least for me. This morning I have presented my final degree proyect. The presentation was as expected, and I've received the mark also expected (the highest possible with honours, we say "matrícula de honor"). Tomorrow a new stage of my life starts, and I have to say I'm really looking forward living it.

Here you have some shots of the presentation:

Learning to draw!!!!

This is my first drawing:


And this is the original model:

I know mine is a little bit like "Stephen Hawking", but considering that this is my first drawing since years, is not that bad. The key is to turn the model upside down, and then draw.

Finally!!! Next November 27th is the day

Yesssss!!!!

Finally I´ll present my Final Degree Proyect next November 27th, 2007. After one hour of presentation, half an hour answering jury's questions and about 10 minutues of jury's deliberations, I´ll become a Computer Science Engineer (in Spain this is a 5 years degree plus a huge Final Degree Proyect, usually called High Engineering degree, which corresponds to a Master's degree) .

Object Oriented Design Patterns

Design patterns are solutions to well known problems, supported by experience . Every software engineer should know about and use them. With their use you get several benefits. The main one is that you improve your design making it more flexible, more reliable, and more reusable. If you want to lear more about design patterns just follow these links:

• vico.org design patterns workshop
  
• The gang of four by Peka Nikkander
• Vince Houston design patterns, my favourite

Take care.
