New Year’s Resolutions & Technology Learning Roadmap 2017

I made a list of technologies I’m going to learn – or at least get an overview of – in 2017. I’ve already started to look into Rust and also did some web tech tutorials on codecademy. Because I read “4 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Learn to Code from Codecademy” I will not leave it there but am going to introduce one or more of the following technologies into some actual projects at work. At least I will be doing some Code Katas to hone the craft.

• AI
  • Basic AI
  • Machine Learning
• New Languages
  • [x]  Swift
  • [x] Rust
• [x] Git / Github – I use github for every private pet project
• Write my first iPhone app
• Publish App to app store
• Web Technology
  • [x]  Sass
  • Less
  • [x] Bootstrap
• Javascript
  • [x] KnockoutJS
  • Angular2
  • [x] Yarn
  • [x] Grunt
  • ReactJS
  • NodeJS / npm
  • MeteorJS
• NoSQL / MongoDB
• Containerization / Docker

These are my objectives for 2017 not related to coding:

• [x] Make a test drive with a Tesla Model S (if possible a P 100 D 😉 )
• [x] Get a new PC
• [x] Visit the Future Mobilty Days
• [x] Visit devcamp17
• [x] Make a balloon flight in a hot air balloon

• Buy a decent watch
• Perhaps a PS4 pro with VR Headset
• Find a Singer for my band Excess Pressure
• Make a one week vacation at the Moselle at Weingut Serwarzi
