Is it too late for new year resolutions? I’d like to keep a record of what I want to do as a programmer this year, so here it goes:

• Learn Python
  This is something I have postponed for too long. Python is really interesting and I’d really like to explore more outside the php-mysql-html-css-js world I live in today;
• Learn RegEx properly
  I’m tired of looking at .htaccess files and having no idea of what’s happening and why;
• Publish more articles
  Just writing them is not good enough, I need to hit that “publish” button more often (once every 60 days seems doable);
• Give a tech presentation
  I feel like I need to improve my teaching skills and giving presentations would help me build confidence;
• Contribute to an open source project
  I use so much of other people’s work, I feel like I should give back to the community;

Okay, that’s it. I hope I can look back later this year and feel like I moved forward as a professional.

Happy new year!

A “modern browser” is a moving target, you can not define it and you can not tell people to get one as they have no idea what that is. Let’s stop using the term and stop writing tutorials that are doomed to be old-fashioned by the time they get released.

General Assembly has an online programme called Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship which is not out yet, but you can sign up to receive access to their classes once they go live.

Great minds giving great advice about entrepreneurship.

Props for the use of “makers” instead of “entrepreneurs” on the video. There is a huge difference.
