New Flickr set – Barcelona, July 2014

Well, I’ve finally been able to do some photo editing and upload an album to flickr. There are some photos of my beautiful friends from home that were here my first weekend in Barcelona – Ady and Tom. I also have a few from some small explorations around the city.

I’ve also taken quite a few of my terrific fellow students and teachers. The best ones are from when we are relaxing after class, of course! Continue reading New Flickr set – Barcelona, July 2014

The course runs for 8 weeks in Barcelona, Spain and covers all the latest in front end development. Well, after two interviews and a few email conversations with previous students, I found out that I have been accepted! Continue reading Spanish Summer of Code
