Software Dev Diary #11 - Progress Report

Tech

  • Sluggish, slow progress in learning WordPress. Figured out how to install themes and customise them and how to install plug-ins. Identified a few plug-ins suitable for the project goals and started experimenting with them. Building registration and login forms. Following along a Udemy course. I must speed up my progress, somehow.
  • Together with WordPress, I've also started learning PHP. A language that I didn't expect to jump into anytime soon, but what do you know. It feels good to add another string to my bow. Not only is it enriching my CV, but I'm also expanding my understanding of programming in general.
  • Little progress in my studying for the CompTIA Project+ exam. Work commitments are not leaving me much free time at the moment.

  • More students mentored on Exercism. Current stats:

    • 16 sessions completed.
    • 17 sessions awaiting student response.
    • 11 testimonials received.
    • 100% student satisfaction

General Learning

Lifestyle and Other

  • Consistent with gym sessions.
  • Less consistent with daily steps. It's difficult to balance everything at times.
  • More or less consistent with my spiritual exercises but dissatisfied with my energy levels. I generally practice these in the evening before going to bed, but I'm noticing fatigue catching up and affecting my execution. I would like to increase frequency to two sessions per day: morning and evening.
