I’ve been today at FEUP to the first phase of the Novabase Academy program (link in Portuguese only). I participated in the first series of psychometric tests, with typical questions with numbers, sequences, words etc.. followed by a personality test.

These kind of tests are very different from the one I’m used to. I never know how good I did…

Today I started to play around with Semmle! What a great tool this seems to be. I installed the eclipse plugin

Since I don’t know much about code analysis and metrics, the short descriptions for the queries shipped with the app don’t help me much, so here is a quite nice description for each metric.

The final step in my degree is a practical internship. I had many options, including staying at University in a research project but I wanted to start in the real world.

I’m doing my internship at Critical Software. The project is “Enabling offline execution of the WOW! Product”.
WOW stands for Work Orders Web, and work flow and work orders management tool. It is based in Java using Stripes and Spring.

To do the offline bit, I was investigating many options, but I choose Google Gears to do it. It will be a prototype, covering only a very limited portion of the online functionality.

Welcome to my blog. There isn’t much to see right now, I will do my best to change that in a near future.

Whish me luck!
