Summary Of 2017

This is the first day of 2018. I want to review what I had gained last year so that I can review things I need to learn next.

Last I tried some new techniques in production and reviewed some skills I had.

New Things learned

cordova

One of my project manager mentioned required phone gap be implemented in one of our project as it was written in reactjs. I tried phone gap online, then found cordova might be the tool we want. Thus, we used it as our phone app builder for all our projects.

electron

Cordova opened another window for us, then we tried electron for our management system which we reuse many component for other projects.

Vuejs

When I tried to refactor one of our angularj project, there were two choices reactjs stack and vuejs stack. Though I had developed three small projects in reactjs. Maybe I had spent too many time on angularjs, I prefer html over jsx and list render way in vuejs. I spent three months to completely rewritten the whole front-end from angularjs to vuejs stack.

postgis

Easy to learn and very powerful tool for spatial data

Old knowledge review

C/C++

I registered some operation system online course in coursera, which I gained a lot useful knowledge. Thus, I followed a tutorial online and digged some information in OSdev. Then I tried to write a toy operation system in c++, which surprisingly went well. I will continue to work on it.

Java If I knew spring boot two years ago, I would not use nodejs or python for backends anymore.
Python

Try some machine learning demo and wrote many scrapy programs.

Using ES6 for production and try restify for RESTful apis.

Optimise sql query for a 2 million database in free AWS RDS.

Things planning to learn and review in 2018

.net core / c# / unity

With a glance of .net core 2.0, I knew it could be the technique stack I can feed my family.

C/C++

Finish the toy os in 2018

WebAssembly / WebRTC / WebVR

Try the future web

Math / AI

Review math knowledge from coursera and prepare for AI
