I would love to learn how to use Unreal Engine 5.
If you know C++ you can learn easily, when I started learning UE4
Cpp seemed extremely difficult to me but after learning cpp and other gamedev principles it was easy to pick up!
yes and maybe work in a game company
Always, every time I play an awesome game I wish I had something to do with creating it.
Definitely. It’s one of my favorite game engines in the market. Really hope to get some time one day to learn game development too.
Same! In another life maybe
Me, too! I tried to install it on Raspberry Pi Desktop OS, but it gave me a fsync support error
I've really enjoyed following along at Wasm Builders, but just can't find the time to get into Web Assembly.
Wasm Builders 🧱
Learn, connect, and showcase everything to do with WebAssembly; an emerging technology powering web, cloud, IOT, and more!
I'm using Rust to learn WASM. It's been great so far.
I would like to learn the following things:
lol poster meant in tech field, but okay. Best of luck!
Hi @coderzordar
Thank you for pointing that out.
But I did notice that, I always read the posts before commenting.
And I wrote that comment to point out that as a technical person, I should also focus on other areas, and not just learn 84358 libraries and frameworks.
We're not robots.
Yup, I understand.
Once the robot uprising has happened you will be sorry for this racist comment against robots
To play guitar.
literally everything 😭
Computer Vision, Machine Learning, AI in general
A lot of things, so I build a roadmap for technologies that I want to learn:
The rules are only learn what I will use to not forget and what I can't learn now I will learn in the next year.
Sometimes I reorganize some items and add new ones, based in my daily needs and the market.
Angular is so amazing. The most modern of the bigger frameworks. Working with observables and typescript is just amazing.
Ngrx/store is imho by far the best state management library. Typed, observable based.
I'd love to really take the time learn web design instead of just stumbling around.
Typescript in backend is so nice to work with, compare do JS.
I feel it especially shines in the backend.
I'm a TS backend developer
A problem I found about TS is there are so many ways to setup a project. Some of them use
ts-node
and some use "build and watch". I hope I can learn about that in my internship.have a look at nest.js
Italian! I speak French and never use it and I'd like to add another language to my arsenal that I'd get little practical use out of in Portland, Oregon 😆 I signed up for Rosetta Stone this week so hopefully I'll at least get a few basic phrases and words under my belt — it's such a beautiful sounding language.
Try out lyricstraining.com/
You will hear music videos in italian, along with 80% of the lyrics.
You task is to find the 20% remaining lyrics.
Best way to learn the language by hearing it :)
I would like to learn more JS
Hey, maybe I can help you there.
I've been working with Software Development and Javascript / Typescript for some time now, and last year my manager introduced me to Functional Programming (FP). I liked it very much, and it completely changed the way I wrote code.
Maybe it can be interesting to you too.
These are some resources I found:
Thanks, I’ll check these out!
Machine learning and AI.
Since I'm a self thought developer, I wish I had time for an extensive CS course. I'm a law graduate and I got into development after coincidentally attending a course, then I got a job as a junior frontend developer and I've been developing projects with React and RN ever since (3 years). So I kind of learned the stuff I need as I go, that's why I'm pretty weak when it comes to the fundamentals. I am looking into some simplified courses but even that is intimidating lol
electric guitar!
oh, related to IT... ok, I like to learn node frameworks, I'm testing the Hapi.js, but I tested Meteor, Strapi and others.
(I'm focused on frontend, I'm learning to know a bit more only)
Also, only for entertainment, I re-learned C++... it's simply awesome nowadays, due the improvements of the language and new syntax shortcuts.
I would love to learn how to sleep like a normal person again :P
And maybe some ethereum javascript library for smart contracts stuff.
I would love to learn flutter. Also, I would revise my Java Concepts.
Flutter for me as well.. oh the time.. the time
I would like to learn (beyond the basics) and apply (ideally in a paid job/gig) FP (Functional Programming)!
IMO the most eternally-promising paradigm that's poised to become the Next Great Thing to go mainstream, but somehow never does ...
I'm stuck in some sort of predicament. I want to learn everything because I want to be fully prepared when I start interning at big tech companies and I'm trying to currently do so but it is very overwhelming.
SolidJS. I heard Ryan Carniato discussing Solid on a podcast a month or two ago and it sounds really cool. I enjoy working with RxJS and have really started to embrace FRP. Would love to learn Solid due to its approach to reactivity.
Meditation. I know it's not software development related, but it helps you a lot. But wishing alone is not enough. I would change the question to:
What activities/things you'd sacrifice in order to make time for the things you wish to learn?
I wish I could learn and remember (I always learn kind of enough, and then forget everything):
Solo projects and actually creating something to be proud of
Oh where do I start. I mostly want to focus on backend related technologies and concepts without completely ignoring the frontend aspect.
I'd say networking (DNS, TCP/IP, how router/switches work, wireshark), AWS services & how they work in coherence, Threejs, how to create elegant UI/UX without riding the frontend train to an endless destination are some of things on my learning goals list.
Would love to learn flutter and the Testframework Pester for Powershell
Time management!
Typescript and Rust. Japanese language
I wish I had time to learn how to make a game in Rust using ðe Piston library.
I really want to make RuntDeale, but I just haven't gotten around to doing it.
more foreign languages.
Dabbled quite a bit in
react-three-fiber
, but still have never had the time to really sink my teeth into it and build something "real". Really want to!react native, cause it has a huge potential plus i can create apps for different platforms without learning the native solutions (well, you kinda have to learn for example c# to make some native code).
The answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
Web3 development.
lol
The Satellite industry. Eg. Planet, Maxar, etc. Huge oportunities there I see for software dev.
Game development. More python or lua to make it happen.
I wish you learn how to use Vue to build component
I would have time to learn how to work with wood
Data science.
I believe there are many opportunities that I'm missing just because I don't know enough about what can data science bring to my project!
Nuxt/Rxjs
Currently busy with web3/Sol
I really want to learn vulkan,I know opengl but it is now marked as deprecated and vulkan is the future of gpu API.
Maybe one day.
I would say Python is enough. I get stuck with my project. stackoverflow.com/questions/719790...
Design
Would love to learn WASM. 👀
Patience.
I'd like to be able to learn, as a dev, how to say 'no' to my company over daily overtime...
I'd like to learn testing javascript. I've already bought the Kent C. Dodds testing javascript course but I have never finished it.
Codding
AI & Go & Flutter
I am a web developer and would like to also learn Flutter well.
GodotEngine to make games. But I have enough with improving my current stack to have side projects.
