I know web pages should be past this, but this site doesn't look right on IE.
I will fix it some day ( not for IE 6 though) but for now this is easier and a lot more fun.

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.
