As the title implies this is a short introduction to this site and myself. So why should you care about this site? To be honest i don’t know at the moment. My reason to build this site is to experiment a bit with Github Pages and Jekyll.
But as you are reading on let introduce myself. My name is Julien Gantner and i’m a developer located in southern germany. At the moment i’m doing a lot of web stuff but i consider myself more as a guy that likes to create things or services that solve more problems as they cause.
To make this site kind of usefull i plan to share some of my experiences with the stuff i’m working with. I use a lot of tools and technologies from frontend stuff like html, css or javascript to some more backend related things like databases, ruby (my language of choice) or infrastructure stuff like configureing services or machines with tools like chef or puppet.
I’m kind of obsessed with learning stuff and i invest a decent amount of my time to get better in what i do or learn new things. Along the way i read a lot of books or do tutorials. I plan to recommend some things that helped me to make it easier for others to find the good stuff.
A final word to the langauge i’m using here. I am german and therefore english is not my first language. But i write in english because of the fact that most people on the net can at least consume english texts. And being a lazy person i want to make the information on this site accessible to as many people as possible with the lowest amount of work on my side. If you find some strange sentences or any typos please let me know by sending me an email, open an issue on the github page for this site or submit a pull request with corrected texts.
I apreaciate any help to look less stupid on the web.
Thanks for reading that far :) and enjoy some of the other content that will follow.
