			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally decided to put the time to set-up <a title="Purpose and Scope" href="http://www.mbillard.com/5/purpose-and-scope/" target="_self">the professional blog I&#8217;ve talked about</a> in a previous post.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s name is <a title="Crossbrowser, software engineering and Web development" href="http://crossbrowser.net" target="_blank">Crossbrowser</a>, because it&#8217;s a topic that&#8217;s always important when developing Web applications.</p>
<p>Whenever I post on that blog and feel the subject is also relevant to this blog I&#8217;ll write a little post to point readers to it.</p>
<h3>What&#8217;s the difference with this blog?</h3>
<p>I would categorize this blog as a career blog which is a place where I talk about what&#8217;s going on with my career. The <a title="Crossbrowser, software engineering and Web development" href="http://crossbrowser.net" target="_blank">Crossbrowser</a> blog will mostly talk about the technical aspects of my job or other projects. Most people will find more value in that other blog. However, as I said, whenever a post is relevant to my career blog, I&#8217;ll write about it.</p>
<h3>Learn revision control, it&#8217;s good for you</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s the title of the first such relevant post, I talk about revision control and the lack of teaching of this skill at school and why it should be taught. So <a title="Learn revision control, it's good for you" href="http://crossbrowser.net/42/learn-revision-control-its-good-for-you/" target="_blank">learn revision control, it&#8217;s good for you</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>What is this about?<strong><br />
</strong></h3>
<p>Essentially, this blog is about me and my professional life as a Web developer. I&#8217;ll keep this up-to-date as much as possible to reflect what&#8217;s going on with my career. This is mostly for my personal use to keep a diary of my work and for a place to talk about my projects. I will try to keep an updated portfolio of my projects in here.</p>
<h3>What is this not about?</h3>
<p>This will not be a technical blog or about programming techniques or anything directly related to my trade. I&#8217;m actually currently setting up another blog which will be focused on the Software Engineering profession. I will find a way to notify anyone reading this blog whenever a new post is published on that other blog.</p>
<h3>Why?</h3>
<p>Because, as a recent software engineer graduate, I think it is important to have a place online that you can refer people to in case they want to know what exactly you are doing. This is especially true when you are looking for a job (which I am not), but it also helps to keep a log of what&#8217;s going on with your life and how you are progressing in your profession.</p>
<h3>Who is this for?</h3>
<p>Mostly for me and people who are interested in my career (not that many people).</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
