Last week Packt and I released Refactoring with C#, my first technical book, to the world.
This morning I signed a contract with Packt on my next book: Data Science in .NET. More to come in the new year!
Way to go!! ๐ฅณ ๐ฅณ
Love this!
Me too! It's pretty incredible. The book still feels so alien, too! I know the cover, I know the contents, but it still feels fake somehow, like it couldn't be real.

Thanks for the pic @erinao
Thanks a lot for the congratulations and shout out.
This is a very kind comment. Thank you.
Honestly, I finished the coursework for the last class of my bachelor's degree. Which had been sitting unfinished for 25 years.
So I'm done. I'm going to graduate. I'm giving my brain a break this week, and then next week, I'm diving back into my Azure AZ-104 certification and my Docker/Kubernetes course on Udemy.
Wow. Amazing!
Internal team hackathon was a fun first go at that
I had my article on Introduction to Ruby on Rails featured on top of the Google discover page.
I also had my article feature on the first page of Google if you search for "beginner Ruby on Rails tutorials."
I have been in a compulsory paramilitary after-school training in my country all week. Adjusting was hard, but I'm getting a good hang of it!
Wooaaa!! That is so dope, Dumebi. Major congrats! ๐
Also, I can imagine the paramilitary training is challenging but it sounds like it's been rewarding! ๐ช
Thanks, Michael!!
Yeah, it's pretty challenging and time consuming too. But I've been having good fun and meeting new people. It's been totally worth it.
I completed 800 followers on dev.to this week. I think it's a very big win for me..
Got to the end of NaNoWriMo. 50,000 words in the bag. Not finished the story, but a long way into it.
Now i went from development to maintain the project
I've created a test strategy to my new project ๐ช
