Hello! My name is Jorge Bastida and I love writing code.

Python developer and evangelist, lead developer of dajaxproject.com and iOS junior developer.

This is what I do.

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.

Python.

Simplicity, elegance, power and extreme flexibility... no words to describe my passion for this beautiful language.

JavaScript.

After several years developing dynamic interfaces using AJAX, I've used most of the current JS frameworks. Prototype, jQuery, script.aculo.us and so on.

iOS.

The last language I've learned. I've developed iPhone apps connected to Django using RESTful APIs. So interesting platform.

Geo.

I've designed and developed some projects from scratch using GIS technology extensively. Thanks to this I've learned a lot about PostgreSQL, PostGIS and geodjango.

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.

PHP.

Everyone has a past. Mine is PHP, one of the first languages that I learned. Since then we have kept a close relationship.
