Coding Goals
I am still working on BootDev, almost done with Python. Then I go to C memory management, then Go then SQL then a couple other things… then im done! But on the flip coin, I am needing to learn Godot and art skills for video game development. I am starting to think I need to spend less time with BootDev and more time on Godot, as my Godot goals are to increasing to help code CRG, Sauna, River and Coorie games....
Cool Jazz
Listening to Shonan Beach FM and jazz while doing boot.dev is great. Its fun to hear Japanese and jazz music that I would normally never hear. Easy listening for learning hard code. Its also nice to use Shortwave radio player to easily listen to it. Sometimes I also pull up their webcam: https://www.beachfm.co.jp/radio/ Overall, its cool.
Checklists
For video game development, it feels like your building plane while flying. Like flying a plane, checklists are key. Some of the goals that I want to check for any of the games I might make: Is Game loop fun? Have a educational/historical component? Highlight advocacy for sustainability (like trains, or environment or construction) Play the video game twice a week, write down bugs, features, thoughts or hopes. Create Youtube video or social media post or reach out to game reviewers....
Sycning Computers
I am using three or four or five different computers, some windows, some mac and many Linux when doing online study. Its getting hard to make sure what files from tutorials are on which computers. I often use GitHub to control these text files, but now its going to be media files, images, video and audio. So I am learning about Syncthing to be able to sync all these things across the internet....
Math
Finally in the Data Structures and Algorithms lesson of BootDev. So on top of that its also Python. I thought Functional Programming was going to be tuff…which had 68 exams, this has 126. After this I am going to build an AI agent, and then a Static Site Generator. Then we go in to C programming language and specifically Memory Management. Man I cant wait for Go and Databases and Docker....
