To-do for 2016
As an IT worker, I have to re-learn my position every 3 years. This is due to the fact that Microsoft releases a new version (of their Server software, Exchange, office suite, etc.), or there has been a technology shift from one Linux specialty to another.
To combat this change and to stay ahead of the technology bubble, I have to be self-motivated to be on the front-end. Here is what I have scheduled for 2016:
Reading Goals
- Databases for Small Business by Anna Manning
- Programming in Go by Mark Summerfield
- The Rails 4 Way by Obie Fernandez
- Bootstrap for Rails by Syed Fazle Rahman
- Bible in a Year (McCheyne)
- The Varnish Book by Varnish Software
- Nginx HTTP Server Second Edition by Clement Nedelcu
- Nginx High Performance by Rahul Sharma
- Making Home Work by Paul Chappell
- MySQL High Availability by Charles Bell, Mats Kindahl, and Lars Thalmann
Video Course Goals
Personal Goals
- Achieve RHSCA Certification
- Make 15 commits to an Open Source project
