2009 goals and resolutions
Goal 1 Learn a new programming language
Over the course of the year, I am going to learn a new programming language. I have been using Ruby for a few years, but I think it is time that actually learned it. It’s one thing to use a programming language, but it is another to know a language. While learning ruby, I want to get the hang of IronRuby
Goal 2 Read more books
My goal is 24 programming books this year. I am starting with CLR Via C#.
Goal 3 Write more
I am not very good at writing and I that is because I don’t write much. I plan to write more posts on WilliamSmash and on WilliamSimmers. My goal is one post a week on each blog.
Goal 4 Write a video game.
I would like to write more than one game, but if I make a game that works very well I’ll be happy. I plan to make a tower defense game using the XNA framework.
Goal 5 Learn Test Driven Development
I am still learning TDD but I really see the benefits. This will go well with Goals 2 through 4. I really want to get the hang of it.
That’s it. I thought I would keep it simple.
