Acknowledgements

I must thank my friend and colleague Jesús Aguado for encouraging me to build my own website and for his suggestions. I have also found LandChad's guide quite helpful.

Workflow

The software I use to work on a daily basis is: All the programs above are free and open source, except Sublime Text, which has a shareware license (i.e., you can use a free trial for unlimited time which has all the features of the paid version, but when you save a file sometimes a popup to remind you that you are evaluating ST will appear). I'm considering changing to an open source editor when I have some time to learn it and configure it (suggestions are welcome 😊).

Some recent readings I particularly recommend are:

1. In the standard Spanish QWERTY keyboard, the backslash is written by "Ctrl + alt + º". Since LaTeX commands are preceded by a backslash, I found using this combination continuously quite uncomfortable.

2. Of course a book is a quite imprecise unit of measure, since it may range from The Little Prince to Don Quixote.
