About Me

Self Introduction

Jaime Montoya

Programmer

I am currently working as a programmer and adjunct lecturer at Cupón Club and Escuela Superior de Economía y Negocios (School of Economics and Business), respectively. I am an active participant in Stack Overflow, a community where I learn and contribute, sometimes even by answering my own questions in order to document and share solutions to programming problems that I face. My education and work experience have been heavily oriented to technical fields, particularly programming. I plan to continue working as a programmer I hope for the rest of my life!

Learning is an ongoing process that never ends. It is an infinite loop and not a destination. I fundamentally rely on textbooks to learn and keep my technical knowledge up-to-date. I have read the following books:

First three chapters of "Microsoft SQL Server 2016: A Beginner's Guide, Sixth Edition", by Dusan Petkovic, published by McGraw-Hill.

First seven chapters of "Java: A Beginner's Guide, Seventh Edition", by Herbert Schildt, published by McGraw-Hill.

This website is hosted by DigitalOcean in a Toronto data center. Thank you for your visit!

Programmers can change the world by writing code!

Websites, apps, software as a service, open source technologies,... The possibilities are unlimited! If you are a programmer you are a powerful person. Use your superpowers to make our world a better place by writing code and being an active member of this enormous community of people who have decided to become writers, authors and creators. Those titles can be summarized in one word: programmers!
