What's something you're currently learning?

I am seriously considering starting a tutorial on Vue.js. I've been working with React for half a year now, I'm by no means a pro at it but I was thinking that learning another Javascript framework would be a good idea.

What are you learning at the moment/ are you planning to explore in the near future and why would you like to do that?

Polishing my MERN stack skills
There are various things on my mind like memory management, security, architecture to follow(for nodejs implemented 3 layer architecture), redis, react hooks and database.
Currently, I am more focused on MongoDB, taking developer course from it's university.

I've been learning React since 1.5 year now, and I was also thinking about learning Vue or even Angular, considering many of the job positions I saw lately asked for some knowledge about them. But I decided to learn more about tests instead. So, right now I'm following a great series of videos on youtube on the CodeItWrong channel about TDD in React. So far, it's been great, the guy explains well and it was a livestream originally, so you can see him dealing with the issues in real time. It's nice to see how other developer debugs the code.
Another thing is that I found a nice resource about Data Structures and Algorithms on the interview cake website and I decided to give those a shot again. Maybe this time I understand it. :D

I am trying to learn the React ecosystem at the moment (or so has it been for last 6 weeks). In parallel, I also started learning the Angular Framework, but quickly figured out that React is something where I want to focus in coming years. Apart from that taking baby-steps to learn Docker (had been my plan for a long time now).

Oh, and trying to improve my written skills in German. I have been in Germany for almost 6 years now, and it's a pity that I still have to consult with leo.org before writing a professional email in German :-/

I'm trying to learn more about Object-Oriented design principles and Software Architecture in general.

Since COVID started I've read "Clean Architecture", "The Object-Oriented Thought Process" and "Elegant Objects - Volume 1" (I really like how opinionated this book was), and I've got the GoF Design Patterns book and "Growing Object-Oriented Software - Guided by Tests" in my reading backlog. I've been mostly trying to practice OO principles with my TypeScript projects.

I'm finishing a course in React. Coming from a Vue.js background myself, I thought to expand my skill set since so many companies use it.

I'm currently studying the Introduction to Neural Networks course on Brilliant. It's unrelated with my current work and experience. I'm taking it lightly as a hobby, something I was curious since college (It dates back to 1998 if you need an "am I too late" motivation).

I like these posts where people get encouraged to learn more. Although I am not learning any JavaScript for now I am happy to push my dreams come true. All of this is thanks to covid. I have been working with hardware-software company for 2 years and learned only the networking part. The whole rest was regression testing with the clock in my hand. Now after covid happened I have completely lost my happiness at work and pushed myself to learn .net and c#. This idea made mi do two courses on the udemy platform and there actually more to come. As covid was spreading the hw-sw company started firing people and I was on the list too. This made me further pursue the master plan I made for myself. Now I am really happy because I am going to start from the 1st of June as a Junior .Net Developer. Moving away from testing.

I started to learn and make some simple apps with winforms and then I will give a try with Asp.net.

I'm currently learning about security and the various ways attackers can get into your system. I am working through the OWASP top 10 and each week researching another item on the list and making some notes about it.

I admit too here that I am still not good at Data Structure & Algorithms. As an experience of over 10 years in web development, starting my career as PHP Developer then switched to Front End Development 4 years back. In these past years, I never felt the importance of Data Structures & Algorithms.

But while trying to apply for online jobs many use HackerRank like problem-solving challenges. So I looking forward to learning these. Thanks for sharing the sources.

Additionally, I am also learning the Deutsch Language A2 level now. As I was already planning to relocate to Berlin in the coming months, maybe starting next year, due to this COVID situation it's delayed.

Currently learning Go. Part of my strategy for learning blockchain development, especially as regards the supply chain and identity (individual and otherwise.) I think the identity issue is the most critical right now as it is part of the fabric (couldn't help it!) of a secure network be it individuals or other entities (businesses, services or even IoT devices.) It is the right of a sentient entity to be able to communicate, transact and prosper without interference, prejudice or misrepresentation. I think the blockchain type technology is the basis of a sustainable sovereign identity that would allow for transparent representation of all individuals. It will also bring the world closer to working with AI and consensus. Cheers!

I've been doing React for the last few weeks now and since use it as my primary choice for a JS framework, especially when comparing NextJS and NuxtJS.

Learning all the stuff at once is hard, but fun. Using React, Next, Emotion and Redux now.
