[edit] Other works

[edit] Visual QuickStart QuickProject Guides

The Visual approach is intended to aid and quicken learning in order to allow the reader to begin using what they've learned quickly.

In an example piece of code, information relevant to the new technique or method being learned is highlighted to make it stand out and easier to locate, while still retaining the context in which the highlighted-text lies.

A brief caption to describe the example is given underneath then an image is presented to demonstrate the end result of the whole example.

[edit] Trivia

Castro presently resides in Barcelona, and has advertised her apartment for rental through her website.[1]
