It's April: How Are My Goals Coming Along?

It is month number four of twelve, and that means the year is about a third of the way over. Am I a third of the way complete with my goals? Ha! Here is where I stand:

Become a Better Developer

Through projects at work and personal projects at home, I have learned quite a bit about "the basics" of programming. I have learned a little RegEx, a few new algorithms, and new best-practices in a few languages. I really want to become better with RegEx, so I will be focusing on that for the remainder of the year.

Learn More ASP.NET / C#

I am doing .NET full-time at work now, so this is almost a moot point. In the last two weeks alone I have created a bunch of new ASP.NET classes and objects for my projects, which has been a harrowing-but-exciting learning experience.

Build My Portfolio

The BrandonBruno.com redesign was one of my big portfolio projects. Along with it is Recipe Manager for my family. Coming up: a cutting-edge CSS3 / HTML5 / jQuery demo site and version two of Zombies!!!

Write Two Short Stories

As usual, my writing career has taken a backseat to my programming career, but I have begun one major writing project that will output far more than just two short stories, although I will likely only have two done by the end of the year. I will be spending a lot of time this summer writing.

Blog More Often

Blogging comes and goes as much as my writing does, but I definitely think I am falling behind the times lately. I need to catch up on this.

Finish 40 Pounds Down

Nope, not until the warmer weather gets here. Oh wait, there it is.

All in all, I have some work to do, but I am definitely confident in getting my goals completed this year.

B3 out.
