Learning Log: 2023

2023 goals

I'm disappointed with my progress this year. It was meant to be the year I finally learnt SQL, but about halfway through the year I changed my working hours (I now officially start at 7am), and the hour I used to spend each morning learning new skills was no longer available to me.

Generative AI also affected my learning this year, in two ways:

1. I needed to learn about how GenAI works, and had to brush-up on my "prompt-engineering", specifically for some work projects (I'm sure I'm not alone in this!).
2. My subscription to GitHub Copilot (in VSCode) changed the way I was learning to code. Essentially providing me with a "learning assistant".

I'm almost at the end of my JavaScript course (on Mimo), so once this is complete, I'll then switch to SQL and Python. My aim is to have a good understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, and Python by the end of 2024.
