I was one of the lucky 60 selected students. I was invited to spend a full day getting to know Sonae. I accepted the invitation. What can I say now? It made me have a very positive image of Sonae.

In the morning, they showed us the facilities, the whole team was friendly, and everything seemed well organized. They even provided a free lunch (It was good, not too posh, a quick stand-up buffet). After lunch, we listen to the top officers (Eng. Belmiro, Eng. Paul, Dr. Luís Reis). I really liked their proximity and the stories told. Furthermore, I compliment the emphasis given to the company’s values​​, although the talk about it was a bit too long. In my opinion, there is no need to write values on walls. Values are defined through the committed actions.

Also during the afternoon, the students formed teams and played games. The performances of students were being assessed throughout all day. The challenges seemed too simple, for masters degree students with some professional experience. I believe that this day was primarily designed for post-bolonha graduates, a student can now finish a degree with only 19 years, sometimes maturity may call into question. The main element of assessment was the willingness to be part of Sonae. Anyway, it was an inspiring day for people desirous to start a professional career.

Overall, it was a nice experience. Sonae +1

Few users have the ability to assess the quality of a project by looking at source code.
With that in mind, a system capable of automatically analysing and producing reports about a given Open Source Sofware Project would enable users to make better choices,
and developers to further improve their software.

Furthermore, I am, currently, writing my master thesis and will engage myself to create an application capable of automatic analyse and measure GitHub public projects.

sudo shutdown -h +45

After that your system will shut down in 45 minutes.
You can also specify the exact time:

sudo shutdown -h 22:30

If you want to cancel the shutdown timer you should use the flag “-c”:

sudo shutdown -c

You can also use the flag “-r” or “-s”, to reboot or make the system sleep.
Read man shutdown for further documentation.

java -jar /trang.jar example.xml example.xsd

The “example.xsd” file generated may not be exactly what you need, but most of the time it is a good starting point.

To validate a xml file, for instance “example.xml”, against an xsd file,
“example.xsd”, you can use the following command:

xmllint --schema form.xsd ~/form.xml

Add the following lines in your config/enviroments/production.rb

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = YAML.load File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/mailer.yml")

And then create the yaml file config/mailer.yml :

---
  :enable_starttls_auto: true # This is how you tell ActionMailler to use tls
  :address: smtp.gmail.com
  :port: 587
  :domain: gmail.com
  :user_name: my_username #You should type your username, you should not include the "@gmail.com".
  :password: my_password #You should type your password
  :authentication: :plain

That’s it!

Now take a look in this notifier class example:

class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
  def activation_instructions(user)
    @recipients  = "#{user.email}"
    #@from        = "Miguel <my_username@gmail.com>" # Doesn't work anymore 
    @from        = "my_username@gmail.com"
    @subject     = "[Card-Sorting] "
    @sent_on     = Time.now
    @subject    += "Important"
    @body[:user] = user
  end
end

There is a lack of backward compatible. Due to some changes in the latest versions you cannot use that syntax anymore, if you are upgrading from old versions be careful, you should only simply specify your email to get it correctly parsed.

chsh -s /bin/bash
