Q: As a #CodeNewbie, what are your learning goals for the next #30Days?

Microsoft is sponsoring Codeland Conference again this year. Come join us in the #CodeNewbie Forem Jun 16-17 to jumpstart your learning journey into Azure & AI, and meet your peers!


In her popular Learning To Learn course, Barbara Oakley talks about learning modes (diffused and focused), learning sprints (focus for X minutes, relax for Y minutes) and learning practices ("chunking" into small activities that build on each other) that help improve your understanding and recall of what you learn.

Planning a #30Days learning journey is one way to put these ideas into practice. Learn or make something in 30 Days by breaking down the end goal into daily chunks of activity that build on each other! Get automatic "breaks" between those focused periods, to help your brain process and recall the information better.

What would you like to learn in #30Days - and how do you plan to go about it?

Some examples:

  • I want to become a power user of (this) developer tool
  • I want to build my first app using (this) framework
  • I want to learn the fundamentals of (this) technology

Please do leave us your thoughts and ideas in the comments. If you are looking for ideas, check out these options:

If you are an experienced developer, do share your experiences with any #30Days of learning projects or resources that may be useful for beginners.
