Transforming Belgian Coast

I would like to share the memory of the trip I made to the Belgium Coast. I have a few nice photos and stories left from the day spent in De Haan. It was my first after almost 2 years of living in Belgium, due partly to my creative laziness and corona. My reason for sharing is the same one of a flower just blooming where the human eye or touch has not been reached. ...

Mountain and River

What does a mountain do? Stays still. What does a river do? Flows. Would it be possible to confuse a mountain with a river? Would it make any sense to treat a river as a mountain?

Higher-Order Learning

I had the idea of writing this blog post almost a month ago. I even almost completed it. I did not like it though, so I did not publish it.

Notes after JavaDayIstanbul 2019

I remember that I wanted to study in Istanbul for my field back then, because I know most of the important events were hold in this city. So that could be beneficial for my technical and personal skills. Even though that was the motivation and I studied in Istanbul, unfortunately that is not what happened. Soon I found out that I could access the relevant content on the internet, even for the ones not taking place in Istanbul. Nevertheless, I attended a few community events and organizations. I could say that JDI19 brought back all of those thoughts and somehow satisfied that. ...
