F#

Specifically, I want to learn how to: 1. Build and deploy an F# web app with Suave as the web framework and Fable on the frontend. I'm not quite sure what to use as a backend (I know and use Postgres, but am open to using something else). 2. Test my code using FsCheck (based off of Haskell's QuickCheck) by defining properties/attributes. 3. Use computation expressions 4. Use and build type providers

I'm a professional Ruby on Rails developer by day, so I'm interested in F# because it's so very different than what I'm used to. Plus, it has a lot of shiny tools/toys that I want to play around with and learn.

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…

> how to change brakes on a car This is really easy. In fact it's the easiest non-trivial repair there is on a car, because unlike other parts it's actually designed do be replaced as a wear part. You'll need a jack, jack stands (pair), and a set of good socket wrenches (make sure you get 3/8 and 1/2 size - you'll need the larger sockets). A breaker bar and torque wrench are a nice bonus. You can get all of that at h…

On top of this if you buy break pads from Autozone ($25-40) they come with a life time warranty which includes wear. I have bought 1 pair of pads for every car I've owned and when I need to replace them I just take the old ones off, put them in the box and bring them to Autozone. They give me a brand new set of pads for free!!! After my initial investment my break changes take ~1-1.5 hours of time (including the trip to Autozone) and cost no money.

I want to learn Front-end and Back-end developing furture in 2017, I want to become a professional web developer, competent to do things like server, database, javascript, UI, http protocals, safety and profiling.

I have built some basics of Linux, Python, Ruby, HTML/CSS/JavaScript and tools like Vim/Emacs in the second half of 2016. I decide to do program development on my 27th birthday. My major in the University is English Literature.

More in details, in 2017, I plan to learn Elixir, MySQL/PHP, Sqlite, Ruby on Rails, Django/Flask, Node.js, Gulp, advanced Javascript, Material Design, Semantic UI, Docker, Travis CI, Jupyter, Lisp, Haskell, basic Machine Learning and pick up math like calculus, probability theory, linear algebra which I've learned in the University.

I desire to become a remote developer who can earn at least $30000/year after 2017. That's my target now. But in the long run, I want to be an expert in ML and AI.

How to spend more time with my family, friends, work out, learn how to cook and less spend time plying with a new framework without a real business idea behind it.

Amen! Plus I want to finish all the books I bought this year.

About programming/work - I want to learn a little bit of Haskell and want to change my company, I also should make sure the code I write from now on should be Test Driven to some extend
