GUADEC 2017: My Experience with Evolution

Published on July 27, 2017.

In a previous post, I talked about e-mail client that I used.

I didn’t used too much my MSN Hotmail account because at the time I didn’t have internet at home.

Carros é a sétima animação da Pixar. Ele foi dirigido pelo legendário John Lasseter e lançado em 2006. O filme original conta a história de Lightning McQueen, um carro de corrida que apenas se importa em ganhar o campeonato e durante o filme faz vários amigos.
