Who am I? I’m Rob Sonke, born in Goes which is just a small town in the southern part of The Netherlands. I was born in 1982 and spent the most of my childhood with sports like athletics, windsurfing and biking. And now for some years I discovered snowboarding, which almost overrules them all .

I went to highschool in Goes and followed quite a beta profile, I prefered maths and physics instead of reading boring books written by historical writers in a language which doesn’t have a lot in common with the Dutch language now. Once finished, I was pretty much interested in architecture (not the software stuff, just buildings, bridges, etc..) but I finally switched to computer science. I started in 2001 and finished in 2005 specialized in software engineering. I was still interested in building the big stuff!

During my study I discovered the Java programming language which I still love. I tried/am trying several other languages like php, prolog, c++, etc but never really enjoyed them. Since I finished school, I’m programming mainly in Java. During the years I’ve met several frameworks and other relevant things which I wrote down at my LinkedIn page.

So where’s this blog meant for. First of all, I’d like to help other people with things I found out. Many times someones blog gave me a punch in the right direction or was in any way really helpful to me. Second, there’s so much beautiful to discover and I hope that this blog will push me a bit more to start looking it
