VR Development (Unreal Engine and Unity) and 3D modeling (Blender)

Fellow game developer, hi!

After becoming annoyed with how hampered I was with acquiring 3D art assets, I too am trying to get into 3D modelling with 3DS Max.

I think I've got the hang of it, found out about edge loops yesterday, and I've created a small 'office room' for my game!

On the coding front, I'm considering learning Go. Otherwise I am looking at something soon where I'm going to need to learn better management, promotion, networking, and general people skills (in a biz context).

I'm a "just dive in and do something" learner, so that's the approach I'll take with both.

I'm learning a handful of construction skills while building my own tiny home on wheels. I think everyone should have the basic skills to fix things around their home and or do simple renovations. I installed the last window last week :). Also diving into Python with my girlfriend. Images of the build. https://plus.google.com/photos/117374232859136026472/albums/...

In the Technical part : I'm learning full stack web development with Ruby/Rails for my personal projects, and Android Development for my job.

Also I'm doing English Classes and I'm thinking about starting German on Duolinguo, and there is the Aikido lessons too.

I've finally decided that regular expressions are not witchcraft and that I need to learn how to use them.

Any recommendations on learning them, e.g. tutorials?

This is also a great tool to play around with / construct regexes: http://regex101.com/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Me, too! My whole family (wife + two young kids) started private tutoring about 6 months ago. What kind of resources are you finding helpful?

I learned a bit on my own time last year. Check back on this thread in a few days—I'm writing up a post detailing how I went about learning it with links to a whole bunch of resources. It'll probably be useful to you, so I'll post it as a reply to you here once it's done.

I don't know if you're still watching this thread, but as promised here's the article: http://kronopath.net/blog/impossible-to-learn/

Learning. I have some ambitious goals, including learning management skills and data science, and I thought it wise to bootstrap this by learning about learning. I'm going through Coursera for this: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn/outline .

is the course any good? I've considered it but yet to pull the trigger
