Hello, world!

This is how I start my first newsletter: the same way I started programming. If you’re receiving this on your mail inbox, that means you probably know me. Anyway, I’m Henrique Dias, a 16 years old student who loves music and programming stuff.

One year more has passed. It seems like yesterday I was turning thirteen. Nostalgia. 2015 has been very turbulent and troubled year, but still amazing and meaningful. It has been very antithetical in so many ways I can’t tell you. But being that way helped me to grow more than in the years before - growing is a continuous process we should never fear.

You got a job! And today’s the first day, what are you going to do? Let’s make a party and make everyone dance! What? No… wait! You’re nervous, you don’t have to be. Let’s talk.

Last year, I published a post about how amazing Portugal is. And now I’m posting about it again! I’m not trying to “sell” Portugal, I’m trying to show how beautiful it is, because it’s true!

A word can be a very powerful thing. A word can change lifes, a word can destroy worlds, a word can lead us to other words, a word can make us stop breathing, a word can make us lively, a word can kill us. As you can see, each word is a very special thing. But I’m not here to talk about words, am I? No, I’m not, but I’m going to start with a word: time.

Firstly, a little bit of history - when I begun this blog, I’ve already been using WordPress on Pplware for a while. So, I tought: I know it, it’s simple, it’s easy to use, I’m going to use it on my personal blog.

Everyday I hear people complaining here and there. They complain about almost everything: from the pencil which isn’t on its place to the government’s rules. I think is doesn’t occurs only here, of course. Maybe it’s a problem of adults (some of them, no offense). I see them complaining every single second. If you’re not this type of person, I believe you should have seen some of them.

Sometimes, I look through a window. My bedroom window. It faces the road. I see cars. There are thousand of them. All different: in shape, in colour, in size. But that’s only the outside. Their inside is all made of the same essence.

If you’ve been following me through the past time,  you probably know I want to go further in technology field (if you didn’t know, read my about page). But it is not the unique thing I would like to be because there are 3 things I would like to be.

Nowadays, node.js is one of the technologies which is always talked about when the subject is related with real-time applications or even CLI (Command-line interface) apps.

Hello everyone! Today I’m going to talk a little bit about technology and if it is a good or a bad thing. This article is, of course, according to my point of view. The main question, for now, is “is the technology a good or a bad thing?”.

Por vezes, a vontade de escrever é tanta que até a tinta desliza pelo papel sem qualquer esforço. Letra a letra. Partícula a partícula. Tudo se compõe.

I have moved, again. From now until the end of the times, coxpe.com and henriquedias.com/blog are gone, and henriquedias.com is the unified version of both.

Todos os anos os professores costumam relembrar os alunos do facto de terem de estudar mais visto o nível de dificuldade ser superior ao do ano anterior. Quando os alunos chegam a anos de Prova Final como, por exemplo, o 9º e 12º anos, os professores tendem a relembrar os alunos que devem estudar mais nesse ano e que o exame se avizinha.

A pedido de um leitor, decidimos escrever um artigo em que exemplificamos este maravilhoso (ou não) modelo MVC utilizando a linguagem de programação PHP.
