My goal for 2017 is to make career in Data Science field. I want to learn by doing good projects in this field but I dont have any ideas. Apart from Kaggle, is there any other sites which have projects related to Data Science field.

#293Confidence - never thought it would be an issue when you're leading your own company. I quit a great job on the east coast in 2012, went to grad school and moved to Silicon Valley after graduation (2014) to work on my startup. I've been learning and building constantly for the past 4 years. I would rather my work speak for me, so I don't draw any attention to what I'm doing or to myself until I have great results to report. I don't have a co-founder because the people I would ask are not financially independent enough to take the risk without a salary. I'd rather make some money and hire them with as much equity as they can handle.
My first project stalled because of poor architectural decisions that overlapped with not-yet-profitable product-market fit (and too much networking instead of product work) and a baby. I learned that lesson and turned into a hermit to rewrite it completely - the market is there, but not immediately lucrative. I'm also writing something that makes money first. I'm hammering day and night with nothing else in my life but my family and the product. My second project is written in GO, wonderfully cheap to run, and about to be ready for launch. Not sure how to turn on that swagger button yet.
Selling to customers is one thing, but how/when do I start selling to investors and employees when few people know me in SV because I've been hammering instead of networking for almost 2 years straight.

#294* Android. Built a really tiny but useful app after reading up tutorials from a gazillion places in a couple of weeks. I still don't have a very good hang of the architecture or the most optimal way to do things. Any recommendations on this this front would be very helpful.
* Computer Graphics. This is one area of computer science I am really interested in and wrote my undergraduate dissertation in. I want to go back to the basics and get up to speed with the new trends in the field. Again, need recommendations on how to proceed with this.
* Become a Python Ninja. Python is one language I am really comfortable with and whenever I can't get anything done, I go back to Python. There are still several facets of this language I need to explore.
And lastly, I need to quit my current job and work on something that lies somewhere in those^^ areas.

#295I want to learn to create a business however small from my own piece of software. This includes creating an useful software for people along with marketing and selling.So far I have struggled just to get eyeballs to my works. It has been a revelation to me on how difficult it is to market and eventually sell software.

#296Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are you looking to automate infrastructure-as-code in there, as well? I've lost many a night to trying to get Rancher to play nice with Terraform, especially in high-availability mode. Luckily, it appears that the process has been vastly simplified in recent rancher-manager releases.
Oh great, you've just added Terraform[1] to my list of possible tie-in softwares. Thanks for that, you monster. /s Yes, at least for development, setting up the entire environment must be a one-command execution. Every new developer to a team will obviously need to progressively learn the entire stack, but they should be up and running after a single VCS checkout and installation command. I expect staging and product…
You might take a look at troposphere[1] too. I've used both extensively and each definitely has it's strengths. In some cases troposphere is a better fit.

I gave a talk on Android and Graphics at Google, which you may find interesting. I am also learning python and machine learning

#300Write a novel, and learn a language.
I started writing a sword and sourcery novel on my rail commute, and its been much more fun than listening to fantasy audiobooks (which are very hit and miss in quality).
I've previously learned some French, German and Mandarin Chinese. I'd like to reach the threshold where I manage conversation in one of them by the end of the year. My Mandarin learning is most recent, my German was the most in-depth, and there's a French programmer working next to me. I dont know which one to do yet!
