About Bear in Mind

This website gathers material that I wrote and found useful together with ideas, guides, links, and other resources that I use for teaching and studying.

This is not only a blog, it is also an attempt to group resources that tend to be scattered. For example, it is common to find tutorials and how-tos on some specific technology, often without extensive theoretical and explanatory background. Conversely, theoretical explanations are usually part of textbooks and tend to leave hands-on aspects aside. Here, I want to bring the things together, practice and theory should blend together seamlessly.

My goal is ambitious and can't be achieved with only a few pages. Despite all, I am determined to pursuit, otherwise, why embarking in yet another blog?

I tried my best to achieve a decent organization, but the broadness covered topics made such task hard. I apologize for that and I will be continuously working to improve the website structure (of course, any suggestion will be welcome).

Theory and practice are not only the two main character of this site, but they are the two pivots around which my career developed. I'm currently a full time computer science teacher at an Italian technical school. In a previous "life" I have been an academic mostly focused on theoretical aspects of computation, especially in the field of bioinformatics and string algorithm.
