What Happened in 2011

• I spent too much time with SharePoint (as the Cloud lead developer) so
• I changed jobs which means
• I moved into mobile development
• And therefore I learned to write code for BlackBerry and Android which means
• I learned Java
• I got to deploy my first apps in the cloud for mobile back-ends, using both Azure and Google
• Spent a fair amount of time with Mobile Web

Goals for 2012

Today I found a great post by Michael Crump about goals for the coming year. I guess I’m doing OK because I am already doing most of the things he advocates, and I agree with all of them. I’m going to incorporate some of those with modifications for myself.

My own goals for 2012:

• Continue becoming a polyglot developer
• Learn a new programming language (Objective-C)
• Learn and use a new design pattern (TBD)
• Read and Contribute to Stack Overflow more often
• Get an app in two app stores
• Consistently generate blog and Twitter content
