I'd like to go even more back to the fundamentals. Hopefully finishing SICP, building a JavaScript interpreter/compiler and other fun experiments to get a better understanding of the foundation that we're building everything on top of today.
I feel that such knowledge is eternal. It won't be obsolete in 2027. ReactJS on the other hand ...
Docker, rkt, LCX/LDX, and Kubernetes. I use some of this stuff already but want to see whether I can set up a Heroku-like multi host cluster that will be more stable for running production projects than my current setup of running things on "bare" EC2 instances. Swift and/or React Native. Mobile apps are good. How to use some basic ML in practice. TensorFlow based NNs would be good. How to use the ShopBot at my local…
Ask grandma! My mom taught me, but it was an even more common skill with the older generations. Or I guess there's always YouTube.
Does your maker space have a 4th axis for the laser? You can buy clear pint glasses and etch designs onto them. Combined with a custom etched coaster it makes an easy, inexpensive gift.

I'd also like to get better at Rust. I've written a few small projects in it at hackathons, but I've yet to get to the point where I'm comfortable writing in it. I'd like to get close to that.
I'm taking a class prior to graduation in abstract algebra, which I'm excited for. I'm hoping to be able to continue to learn in this after graduating, I've thought about continuing to take math classes at a college by Seattle after I start working.
I'm hoping to lean more about machine learning and how it can be applied to problems, a project that I'm hoping to do in advancement of this is to learn to predict cloud cover in some future interval based on the history of some things (maybe pressure and current cloud cover?)
How to effectively market my consulting skills. I've been a web developer for over a decade now and I'm still not confident in my ability to bring in consistent work. The work comes, but I'd like to have more potential clients knocking. From what I can tell, the best way to achieve that is by consistently offering to help others with my skills. So I'm making it a point in the coming year to make blogging a part of my…
I have a hard time breaking into the consulting/freelancing world. I really like the idea of working part-time during off hours for extra cash, but it's proven to be quite difficult for me. I think part of it is that I'm not loud enough, and I think it comes from being an introvert. I'm confident, I'm not shy, and I know I'm skilled enough to work on lots of stuff, but when it comes to marketing myself, networking, s…
I'm looking forward to having both the technical skills and sales skills under my belt.
I want to learn how to even start a side-project. I've been out of university since 2012 and have done basically nothing in my free time CS-related. Every time I start to even think about doing something, that "why are you working while on your free time" feeling comes up and I immediately do something else. Not sure if it means I really don't love programming and Computer Science after all (entirely possible) or if…
I've also got a huge interest in film and intend to teach myself filmmaking. I've had an interest in exploring it since middle school, but I've never committed the time. This year I'm obligating myself to film and edit something short every weekend. I live in Atlanta and our film scene is burgeoning, so I'm also hoping to network with local filmmakers and students.
Anyone in the Atlanta area interested in either of these subjects?
