Quite The 3-Week 'Intensive'
With only one day left tomorrow to wrap up all the learning covered in this learning period, and perhaps set up some sample exercises like uploading and automating CI/CD for some WASM and webAPI templates to Azure, I thought I'd use this opportunity to cover some of the overall goals achieved and plans for integrating it all into MOOVPAD apps.
3-week Intensive Learning Block
Git and GitHub
Automation with Workflows and Actions
Docker course - currently underway (complete in 4 weeks)
Linux course - currently underway (complete in 8 weeks)
Bash scripting for Linux
Iptables and firewall rules - customising these for servers
Tools like Nmap and others, with commands for various tasks
Integrating above Linux commands into the Python app
Blazor WASM and Azure deployment automation
YAML for custom automation of workflows and actions in GitHub
C++ programming - comprehensive coverage
Python and Base-System App (RServer)
Bash script equivalent for backup (Bserver)
JSON integration between these and MOOVPAD Apps
Data structure outline, ready for Python data science (ML/AI)
The list above covers some of the major goals achieved during this period, leaving out some other minor goals for other projects I'll be working on later. Along the way, I've learned several new programming languages, and started to use new technologies and tools. But perhaps the most important goal for me was the chance to apply all of these learning tasks as I went through the process. As I mentioned, I learn much better by actually applying the knowledge as I learn it.
Although I might not get the chance to directly apply the C++ knowledge into an app structure just yet (although believe me... tempted is understatement), I know I will eventually. Maybe even with the next learning intensive. I'm hoping to have another of these dedicated learning blocks in a couple of months or so, maybe another 2-3 weeks.
The C++ learning is almost done, with less than an hour left in the tutorial (just final examples really). So tomorrow will focus on getting ready to get back to working on the MOOVPAD Web App. This is a task in itself when you spend time away from a project, but it can also help provide a new perspective. This is especially true when you add all the new learning.
I will now give myself permission to breathe for a bit 🙂
Stay awesome,
