I have monthly busy periods at work, and I find that by the time I get a little free time at the end of the month, I’ve forgotten what I started working on last month.

This post will be updated to track the progress on these goals:

• Get familiar with python before starting OMSCS

  • Code 4 days a week:
    • Saturday
    • Sunday
    • Wednesday
    • Thursday
  • Learn basic syntax
  • Determine practice projects to work on
    • Review data structures using python to code
    • Codecademy has suggested projects
      • Biodiversity in National Parks project
    • RPG text adventure game with python
  • Paths I’m interested in:
    • CS Career Path
    • Analyze data with SQL Skill Path
    • Analyze financial data with Python Skill Path

• Get familiar with vscode shortcuts and customize set up

• Get involved with Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL)
