Tehnix/What is this about?

## What is this about?
This blog will mostly serve as a personal memory pad. I often discover a process, learn something new or just am plain forgetful. Therefore, I'll try to write down when I learn various things.

That said, I'm striving to make my content as general as possible, so it won't only be me that benefits from it :)

What will be on here? Mostly things related to programming and technology. What I learn is almost always related to some hobby project I got going on.

Another thing I'll try to do, is post upfront whatever version of tools or libraries I might be using throughout that post. Far too often has it bothered me that I didn't know what version an article or tutorial applied to, or had in mind, and because of that, one might be doing something that was solved in later versions of said library or tool.

## A little background on me
I'm mainly a self-taught programmer, and started my venture out with PHP and the web dev stack (JS, HTML and CSS). This also got me my first programming related jobs, and I've been grateful for that. Later on, meanwhile working, I started playing around with Python and a small plethora of various languages. All in the imperative end of things though.

I then started studying at university, which I still do, and around the time I started I got more interested in declarative programming. Namely Haskell. This has since been my focus, although the progress is slow (my imperative background is slowing me a bit), it's still quite a joy to work with GHC, and the level of assurance the compiler gives me with my programs.

I'll be trying to update this blog as much as time allows. Hopefully there'll be something interesting on here from time to time.

A closing note; this blog itself is written in Haskell using the Yesod framework. I'm working on making it as general as possible so people can fetch it and turn it into their own.
