Welcome to my website.
My name is Joao Parreira and I'm a web/software developer with over 8 years of professional experience.
I'm Portuguese, but having completed both my degree and masters at the University of Glamorgan , I decided to stay and now live in the lovely city of Cardiff.
Hope you enjoy my website; feel free to contact me and read my blog.
During the day I work in a web/software company where I develop web applications in the insurance industry.
I mainly program with VB.NET, ASP.NET, HTML, CSS, T-SQL, XML, Javascript and also use frameworks such as jQuery.
At night I become a ninja and try to save the world.
Nah!! At night it's when I experiment with other languages, create websites and develop themes and plugins for Wordpress.
I also try to share my knowledge to the world by creating tutorials and video screencasts, because I believe that sharing knowledge is what makes the developers and designers community a great place.

My first public theme for the community.
After building a few themes for myself, I decided to create another theme to offer to the wordpress community.
A way to say thank you!
For this theme I teamed up with a talented designer, and after bouncing a few ideas with him, he came up with a simple but amazing design.
After receiving the final design, it was time to bring the ninjas into action, slice the PSD and code the theme.
Still adjusting and tweaking the code, but you can see a demo already.
Another of my websites.
I always try to keep myself updated on everything related to web development.
PT Ajax offers news about what's happening in the world of javascript and ajax.

One of the first themes I created for Wordpress, and one of my first designs.
I currently run this website, where me and some other authors share our knowledge to the Portuguese developers and designers community.
You can check the website at: PT Tutoriais.
Still in development, I really enjoy tv shows and wanted to create a theme that allows any person to setup a tv shows website in an easy way.
This is the first theme that I started playing with custom posts, and I'm really enjoying discovering the more powerful side of Wordpress.
A link to the demo version will be coming soon.
Teamed up with another developer and designer, and created a nice website for Atlas AV.

I also try to create screencasts where I pass some of my knowledge to the community.
I normally publish these screencasts at maistrafego a great Portuguese community of web masters.
So far I managed to create two screencasts introducing CSS.
Planning a few more so stay tuned.
