Another year is coming to a close. It's been an up and down year for myself and my family. The best part of 2009 was the birth of our fourth child, Everett. He's the best, youngest child anyone could ask for. He is usually happy and ready to give you a great big smile. My kids are definitely the best part of my life. Now I'm ready for a new year and the challenges that await. I thought I'd post my list of technologies that I will focus on in 2010. There are so many interesting technologies and ideas out there to learn about and work on but there is only so much time in the day. So I need to focus on the ones that interest me the most (right now). I like the phrase "It's like drinking from a fire hose..." when it comes to learning about all the technologies that are out there. So here's what I'm planning to work on in 2010.
Technologies I want to improve my skills in, develop with and write articles on during 2010
- Business Intelligence with Microsoft SQL Server 2008
- Multi-touch interfaces
- WPF
- XNA
- Windows CE
- .NET Micro Framework
- Robotics
I should probably try to narrow the list down even further but I really want to do at least one article and/or project in each of these technologies. Happy New Year to everyone and I hope all your New Year goals are achieved.
