What are your programming goals for 2017?

Read following books: "Passionate Programmer,Pragmatic Programmer, Effective Java, Design Patterns, Clean Code, Domain Driven Design"
Improve my development productivity
Contribute to open source in Java
Share my knowledge in blog
Get more involved in mobile dev

I'd like to fill out my knowledge of Elixir/Erlang/OTP, and do some more side-projects with said tools.

I would also like to backfill my comp-sci fundamentals and maybe go back to Math fundamentals and work up to a decent knowledge of Stats and Probability.

master javascript using - Eloquent javascript and you dont know JS
30 days of code with wes bos
write a blog post a month
learn MEAN well

• release at least 1-2 pet projects
• first Android app
• get a deeper knowledge of ruby/rails/oo design
• read several programming books and write a review on them (I have a list :)
• refactoring on my existing pet project

• Learn SQL and possibly build a site with users
• Learn how to make cool web animations

Keep focused on my goals...just about when you start learning backbone angular shows up and then u start that and react shows up....I am new to the open source world but at some point does this seem ridiculous? That said...I want to integrate my ruby/rails with React mostly because I like the extra benefit you get with react native..but thats it...in 2017 I draw the line...no more new frameworks!

Focus on big-picture plans instead of getting drawn into--and trying to catch up with--the gory details.
Instead of letting my development (or rather reviews) be defined by what other people work on, prioritize myself.

I will work consistently to

• practice progressive enhancement.
• become competent in accessibility.
• learn about Machine Learning.
• get my "Editable Web Pages" pet project to production. I want to use it myself at least!
• learn Haskell (I'm kinda good with that, I want to get to the point to help something like Pandoc with a fix.)

Some things I intend to work on:

• write a specific half-chat/half-forum app for Liferay.
• learn Odoo. I love Python but never have the opportunity to use it, Odoo seems to be a good path.
• learn Rust.
• write my own to-do list web app. Again :)

I am going back to the basics
Write more CSS
Try out the mobile platform
A whole lot more on IOT

• Get better in dev and doc writing
• Build some good oss
• Contribute to software dev

What I want to do:

1. Learn front-end web development
2. Improve my current skill - (native mobile app development)
3. Learn a server side lang / framework and concepts.
4. Learn the concepts of functional programming

How:

1. Brush up on html, css and learn good practices in JavaScript - freecodecamp, obj oriented js book, learn vue.js

2. Learn advanced topics in iOS development (my daily job). Port some of my simpler iOS apps to Android. Basic study of how react native and xamarin work

3. I am confused here. I am not sure if I should first learn rails and webdev through Michael Hartl's book and then learn asp.net core or nodejs or directly jump to phoenix/elixir

4. Do the coursera course on func programming in scala and then learn f# or Elixir to test my knowledge by building server side apps

• Write an app in elm 😎
• Read lots of code!! I've learned so much just by reading code on GitHub.
• Related to ^^, read more source code.
• Read about the fundamentals (e.g. HTML standard, best JS practices, etc)
• Contribute to open source for the first time
• Learn a new framework (?) Unsure about this one.
• Teach others what I know about React / Redux
• Start writing about code / dev stuff regularly!

I have been doing quite a bit of Haskell this year. My CS bachelor project was in Haskell. While I enjoy the language, I don't think the tooling or documentation is very good. So I would like to dive into Rust. It seems to have a type system inspired by Haskell, while being more beginner friendly.

Finally complete my personal web site. It's nothing complicated. I just keep starting and stopping on it.
