My web career started developing in Asp and Asp.net , then I began to use php . I like to have an administrative approach ,too .In fact i have earned many certifications on database administration .

In 90s , while i was studing economic , i was often asked to help people on using personal computer for every day business : It's been a one way ticket. First and lasting love was for managing data , so i have started using msaccess and SqlServer to build databases , elaborate information and reports using tons and tons of Visual Basic code . My web career started developing in Asp and Asp.net , then I began to use php . I like to have an administrative approach ,too .In fact i have earned many certifications on database administration . Mixing up this two factors i developed many programs for data collecting and analyzing, being involved on publishing reports and articles based on elaborated information , in scenarios as Public Administration training , collaboration project between universities all over the world or survey on genetic structure and their relative kind of analysis. Actually i am involved in collecting data by using automated sensor IoT, that lead me on joining Arduino community in Rome, and integrating my application with more instruments , working in fields like Open and Big data , and using data mining software .","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/arnymore\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/author\/arnaldo-morena\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-600x400.png","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-600x533.png","author_info":{"display_name":"Arnaldo Morena","author_link":"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/author\/arnaldo-morena\/"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM.png",800,533,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-300x200.png",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-768x512.png",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM.png",800,533,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM.png",800,533,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM.png",800,533,false],"small-home-featured":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-100x100.png",100,100,true],"sidebar-featured":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-180x128.png",180,128,true],"genesis-singular-images":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-800x504.png",800,504,true],"archive-featured":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-400x225.png",400,225,true],"gb-block-post-grid-landscape":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-600x400.png",600,400,true],"gb-block-post-grid-square":["https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ChatGPT-Image-Jul-2-2025-12_46_42-PM-600x533.png",600,533,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Arnaldo Morena","author_link":"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/author\/arnaldo-morena\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"After months of debugging co-pilot\u2019s hallucinations, wrestling with Gemini summaries, and crafting prompts that sound like therapy sessions, your brain deserves a break.
