I've really enjoyed following along at Wasm Builders, but just can't find the time to get into Web Assembly.

I'm using Rust to learn WASM. It's been great so far.

I'd love to really take the time learn web design instead of just stumbling around.

Would love to learn flutter and the Testframework Pester for Powershell

Michael Tharrington • Apr 27 '22

I would love to learn how to use Unreal Engine 5.

Adam Crockett 🌀 • Apr 27 '22

Same! In another life maybe

If you know C++ you can learn easily, when I started learning UE4
Cpp seemed extremely difficult to me but after learning cpp and other gamedev principles it was easy to pick up!

Leandro RR • Apr 27 '22

yes and maybe work in a game company

abraham2 • Apr 28 '22

Me, too! I tried to install it on Raspberry Pi Desktop OS, but it gave me a fsync support error

SPABOI • Apr 28 '22

Definitely. It’s one of my favorite game engines in the market. Really hope to get some time one day to learn game development too.

Lee Wynne • Apr 29 '22

Always, every time I play an awesome game I wish I had something to do with creating it.

Manuel Odendahl • Apr 27 '22

I wish I could learn and remember (I always learn kind of enough, and then forget everything):

CSS properly
infrastructure monitoring
marketing metrics and user behaviour tracking

I would like to learn the following things:

To be more human
To not judge based on nationality, skin color, years of experience, etc.
To learn more about the users of the products I'm working on

CoderZordar • Apr 28 '22

lol poster meant in tech field, but okay. Best of luck!

Liviu Lupei • Apr 28 '22

Hi @coderzordar
Thank you for pointing that out.

But I did notice that, I always read the posts before commenting.

And I wrote that comment to point out that as a technical person, I should also focus on other areas, and not just learn 84358 libraries and frameworks.

We're not robots.

CoderZordar • Apr 28 '22

Yup, I understand.

Constantin • Apr 28 '22

Once the robot uprising has happened you will be sorry for this racist comment against robots

I would like to learn more JS

Felipe Armoni • Apr 27 '22

Hey, maybe I can help you there.

I've been working with Software Development and Javascript / Typescript for some time now, and last year my manager introduced me to Functional Programming (FP). I liked it very much, and it completely changed the way I wrote code.

Maybe it can be interesting to you too.

These are some resources I found:

Medea • Apr 27 '22

Thanks, I’ll check these out!

I would love to learn flutter. Also, I would revise my Java Concepts.

Lars Rye Jeppesen • Apr 29 '22

Flutter for me as well.. oh the time.. the time

Eelco Verbrugge • Apr 27 '22

Solo projects and actually creating something to be proud of

Chris Greening • Apr 27 '22 • Edited

literally everything 😭

Rishabh Rawat • Apr 27 '22

Oh where do I start. I mostly want to focus on backend related technologies and concepts without completely ignoring the frontend aspect.

I'd say networking (DNS, TCP/IP, how router/switches work, wireshark), AWS services & how they work in coherence, Threejs, how to create elegant UI/UX without riding the frontend train to an endless destination are some of things on my learning goals list.
