Project specs:
Become a decent python junior and escape the (film) industry where I burned out and crashed at 35.
I like new ideas, learning, and to solve problems, so i figured I'd look for an industry where one gets paid for that sort of thing.
commit 33% of CS50 (HEAD -> master)
C is the deep-ish end of the pool but I'm glad I
went for it
commit 100% Python for Everyone
Worth it for the calming presence of Dr Chuck.
commit Some tiny Django projects
commit Some katas
commit 50% of python automation Google certificate
Research said recruiters don't roll eyes at those quite as
much as the rest.
commit 20% of 'Test-Driven Development with Python'
Learning the mindset, coding along
commit Working on a small portfolio project
This is the most anxiety inducing part atm
Yes, I'm the sort of person who needs to have a few things on the go, and, far as neurology understands, different times of day are better for different types of learning/work.
Right now I'm
working through CS50 to catch up to the front-end bit, so it'll be where I'm at with the TDD book
Listening to the Google humanoids
Gathering courage to sign up for some open source project.
I wrote this mostly to keep myself on track, but if you're on a similar boat or feel the calling to help newbs, I'd appreciate you dropping me a line.
