#2Right this minute I'm diving into the Google Drive API, as I'm looking at using GDrive to implement a new feature in one of our projects.
Outside of that, I hope to finish reading most (or all) of Philip C. Jackson's Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Alvin Toffler's Future Shock and the Predictable Revenue book. I doubt I'll finish all of that over the "holiday season" per-se, but that's what I'll be focusing on in the near term.

#3I would like to better understand the Qlikview Object Extension mechanism and the associated Javascript API. These extensions are highly useful for coupling Qlikview with the existing visualization frameworks like D3 etc.

#4I purchased Bitfountain's iOS 8 with Swift course a couple of months ago so I'm hoping to reserve a few days to watch that. I've also been reading Big Nerd Ranch - Android Programming which is good.

Other than these, I'm still on the learning path with .Net, MVC5, and Razor. My only concern is as I get more comfy with MVC and .Net, I'm finding doing front-end development on the Microsoft stack increasingly easier.
I'm sort of conflicted in my learning. Should I keep learning .Net, or stick with "the cool kids" and keep looking for newer, faster, better ways of building sites and apps using some of these new fangled JS frameworks?

There is an online course on QlikView Extensions, which next session is scheduled for Jan 15. You may want to check it out: http://q-on.bi/courses/qlikview-extensions/

#8MIT Introduction to Algorithms course and MIT Linear Algebra. Thinking of Caltech Machine Learning as well but I'm not sure what background I'll need before diving in.
