samaxes

I’m Samuel Santos and I live in Coimbra, Portugal. I’m currently working as a Software Engineer and Web Advocate for Present Technologies.

While Java and Java EE are my primary focus, I’m a strong advocate for best practices and web standards, and spend some of my (free) time working with the following organizations:

• W3C
  • HTML Working Group (since July 2007)
  • WebApps Working Group (since March 2009)
• WHATWG
• Web Standards Group
• OpenAjax Alliance

I started samaxes in March 2006 mainly because I wanted to keep a record of what I was learning about Java and web technologies. Since then it evolved into both a showcase site as well as a place for me to add my voice to the web.
