Hello World

Hello there and welcome,

I decided to begin a blog for myself to document my journey as I learn about  software development.  If you have any ideas about subjects or have questions don’t hesitate to leave me a comment.

I will try to have an article here at least once a week.

So here is the plan:

I am already thinking about learning more about algorithms and data-structures as I did not have the opportunity  to learn about these subjects in  school.

For this purpose I plan on going over this three curses from MIT :

  1. MIT 6.006 Introduction to Algorithms, Fall 2011
  2. MIT 6.046J Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Spring 2015
  3. MIT 6.854 (Advanced Algorithms), Spring 2016

I  have found a cool book called Learn C# by Building a Simple RPG by  Scott Lilly (which is free by the way and he also has some good youtube tutorials on C# ) . I plan on going through it  because I was already thinking about building a game and the book seems fun.

I want to learn more about ASP.NET and there was a sale on Udemy so I bought The Complete ASP.NET MVC 5 Course by Mosh Hamedani because I’ve already seen some of his work and I know he does quality stuff (also it was like 10 euro).

Was also thinking about doing some Xamarin tutorials but I don’t know, maybe I should concentrate more on C# and ASP.NET. Xamarin  is rising in popularity lately and it’s becoming mainstream for cross-platform development but I don’t know, I should concentrate more on one subject.

I was thinking of creating a “Where Do I Start?” section for my site, to put there some  recommendations, books, advice, tools, frameworks for people starting with C# and create  a github repo about Data structures/Algorithms and Design Patterns because by doing them I can also learn more about these subjects.

Lastly, I am thinking (for a long time now) about getting some certifications like ISTQB, ITIL, and some Microsoft ones .

That’s about it.

So let’s recap:

  1. Data structures/Algorithms
  2. Build an RPG
  3. ASP.NET MVC 5 Course
  4. Xamarin ?
  5. “Where Do I Start?” page
  6. Certifications (ISTQB, ITIL, Microsoft)

This should keep me busy for some time.
