Hello! My name is Jorge Bastida and
I love writing code.
Python & Web enthusiast, author of gluecss.com and dajaxproject.com.
This is what I do.
Python.
Simplicity, elegance, power and extreme flexibility... no words to describe my passion for this beautiful language.
Django.
I love Django, It's an amazing framework and I do enjoy it. I've developed several opensource projects and given a few courses.
JavaScript.
After several years developing dynamic interfaces I've used most of the existing JS frameworks. My favourite? jQuery.
Open Source.
Share with the community as much as possible has been always a priority for me. Visit my github page to check my latest contributions.
Html.
I love the web. I got an html book nine years ago and since then I've developed for the Web both professionally and as a hobby.
CSS.
Clothes for our code. Since my first steps on the Web I've collaborated in the interaction and layout of every project I've been involved.
iOS.
I've developed several iPhone apps using as backend my own RESTful APIs. I really like it, so interesting platform!
PHP.
Everyone has a past. Mine is PHP, one of the first languages that I learned. Since then we have kept a close relationship.
Open Source.
