Hi there! I'm Dennis de Best, a tech enthusiast who's been enamored with computers since the days of Windows 98.
Beginnings: Tinkering and Exploration
As a young tech enthusiast, the Internet fascinated me, prompting my foray into web development using tools like
Dreamweaver. I once launched a website sharing GameBoy roms for Pokemon games, attracting a significant amount of
traffic.
Diving Deeper into Tech
My passion led me to explore game development in Python, delve into Microsoft Office Spreadsheet automation with VBA,
and acquaint myself with the peculiar world of WinDev.
Academic Pursuits: From Limoges to Bordeaux
With a desire to formalize my understanding, I enrolled in a computer science program in Limoges. However, the course
wasn't what I expected. I then took up part-time roles while concurrently studying at the "Open Universiteit Amsterdam,"
where I delved into foundational computer science, assembly language, and basic circuitry.
Forming CodeBuds: Turning Passion into Profession
Post-graduation, along with talented peers Thomas Morgana and Quentin Estrach we founded
CodeBuds, committed to transforming ideas into tangible projects. Additionally, I've been imparting knowledge, ensuring
students find value and interest in the tech domain.
An Open-Source Enthusiast
Open-source communities resonate with me. They foster learning and collaboration, aspects I hold dear. I cherish
discovering nuances in tech and believe in disseminating knowledge. This blog stands testament to that philosophy,
aiming to elucidate tech concepts and share my experiences.
