In this lockdown, what new skills have you learned?

They say we should be able to put new things on our resume every 6 months. What skills have you learned since March? Have you utilized this time to update your skills?
For me:

  1. C (on the way)
  2. Git
  3. I finished a few online courses provided by google & TCS.
  4. Attended some advance Angular training.
  5. DS (on the way)
  6. Finally, I decided to start working on my portfolio.
  7. I joined twitter so that daily I can learn new things from twitter dev family too.

If you didn't add any new skills in your resume please start today. Not too much daily try to learn at least two new things. Before sleeping just ask yourself what you learned today? Keep practicing.

Happy Learning, Keep Learning .....

I have been learning Japanese (again) and working on building my UX skills. UX is my dream goal and so I'm taking classes online and looking into bootcamps or Master programs as well.

I've also been focusing on improving my programming skills, especially Javascript! I've never been confident with it, so it's my goal to be more confident by the end of the year!

Well, in this lockdown probably my skill learning can be divided into 80% non-tech and 20% tech-related.

On the tech side, I've learned about Next.js, VIM and due to my job, I'm restarting to pick up Angular, TypeScript, SASS...

I also have a Haskell course, I recently signed up, that I'll be doing on the side. πŸ˜…

I’m just going to leave this here: it is ridiculous to assume you would spend your time at home during a global pandemic to learn new skills. Working on your own all day, trying best you can to comprehend what is going on and what is expected of your work is a skill set in itself. Don’t buy into the myth that you need to spend your free time productively, instead focus on mental health, getting some rest and exercising.

That being said, I have learned a lot about graphql, mostly because a couple of projects needed it. And I’ve learned that working from home is not for me.

Love this!
I started an immersive software engineering boot camp, Momentum@Morehouse and I'm super-pumped (also a bit terrified) about my new career path. On the way, I've learned:

  • That I love being a night owl
  • CSS
  • That I really can multi-task like the people on TV!
  • JavaScript (working on it)
  • That therapy is a 'must have' in my budget
  • Python (working on it)
  • That coding can be addictive!
  • Django is not just a movie staring Jamie Fox

Most of all, I've found a home and am building my tribe, my pack and an awesome family in this crazy, wonderful world of technology!

I'll translate it for you: Great, how is the process going?

Explanation:
"yendo" comes from the verb "to go", in Spanish "ir".
In the above sentence "yendo" translates to "going".

Yeah, I think they are easier than English as they don't have irregular forms, but there are loads of different conjugations which make it more time consuming to get to know all of them. We don't use many of them in informal jargon, but in formal situations, they are used.

I will be glad to help out sometime if you have any doubts!
