I like checking out what’s on the technology buffet! There are deep technical professionals in every technology, but I am not one of them. On the other hand I can program in well over a dozen languages. I’ve tried just about every framework on for size. I like user experience design talk-throughs and assembly language.
So I like to say that I belly up to the tech buffet pretty regularly and see what looks good. I buy a book, install the software and work through a few hundred pages of the examples to try it on for size.
Every time I do this I start a README.md document in a GitHub repository and I take a bunch of notes along the way. However, these notes never end up in one place so years go by, I change laptops and I don’t ever take the time to curate my treasured notes from one machine to the next and I lose those chunks of helpful hints.
Therefore, I decided to use my domain to start a blog where I walk through a technology book and offer the little hints that don’t seem to be explained quite right in the text.
Full Speed Ahead!!!
