Geek/Nerd Pride Day

Éverton Arruda

Today, May 25th, is celebrated the Geek/Nerd Pride Day, so,

Congratulations

to all of us, geeks, and to those who are familiar to the cause!

To celebrate this day there goes a test: How nerdy are you? Hehe.

Today is also the Towel Day, which, as wikipedia says: is celebrated every May 25th as a tribute by fans of the late author Douglas Adams, writer of the book series Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

I haven’t read it yet, but now i’m going to!

WikiBooks – Open books for an open world

Éverton Arruda

A few days ago i was looking for a C++ book and after some searches i ended up in a wiki called WikiBooks. This Wiki is, as written in the site, a Wikimedia community for creating a free library of educational textbooks that anyone can edit.

It is alive since July 10, 2003, and is also available in many other languages.

Qt Study

Éverton Arruda

Soon I’ll be studying Qt, a cross-platform application and UI framework, owned by Nokia.
With Qt, you can write applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code.

Here is the source from where I’ll beggin my studies:
