Monthly summary #1 – June 2024
Usually it is the beginning of the year, where some kind of new-year-new-me kind of vibe hits everyone around. I can say that I am not following the crowd on this one. I am starting something new in the middle of the year. Because why not? This is my first monthly summary then. Let’s go!
To sum it all
The overall idea for this blog, and my project #SeniorDevRevamp is described in the linked articles. Therefore, I won’t be repeating myself here. What I want to share is the lovely vibe I get from following this path. Structured learning of the things that “I know that I know them, but…” feeds not only my impostor syndrome, but also all my Clifton Strengths talents (“Learner” is my #2). I started small, with AWS Cloud Practitioner certification, and with it, I have collected some low hanging fruits. It was a wise decision. Passing the cert gave me a boost to push forward for sure.
Except for AWS, and cloud-related topics (I have done a beginner-oriented Kubernetes course on UDEMY), I stepped a little into Python, which serves a glue-language today. It is not that hard to read it, as it shares some similarities with PHP that I had started my career with. Obviously, there is a difference between reading the language, and writing idiomatic code in it. That was the reason for reading an introductory book about the language, and doing some simple coding katas online. I stopped after a couple of weeks, when I had some practice under my belt. It is way too little for me to be satisfied, but first steps were made. I plan to come back to Python coding in some time, with the actual coding project.
What’s next?
That wraps-up June 2024. Below you can find links to the specific weeks’ summaries. As a category, they are excluded from this blog’s RSS feed. That is on purpose – I don’t want to spam that often. Those summaries are mostly for myself. To keep a clear track of my progress, and to serve as a ‘virtual buddy’ that accompanies me along. The plan for July is to continue with AWS training, and also to read some architecture/cloud oriented books.
