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 .....

Hey hai pooja, I'm not from Frontend background. But learnt linux kernel performance tuning and some best practices for Agile development. Something more professionally required. And since your are a Frontend beginner would like to give a takeaway for you. Happy Coding 🥂

[Pooja Mansukhani 💻]

I just saw your portfolio. Its really great. Nice work...
i also learned react lil bit but then got some angular project so not able to continue. I will also try to make one project in react, Thanks for sharing ur skills.

[keshav jha]

Thank you so much, I appreciate the compliment.
I liked the ReactJs, Hope you will also find your Interest in it :)
I tried AngularJs a couple of years ago, but I had not much understanding of javascript at that moment, so I found it quite tough. After that never got a chance to learn it or use it in any of my projects.

[Mukesh Singh]

I too have learnt Python, Spring Boot and Kafka in this world wide lockdown. Thanks for sharing motivational blog. Happy Learning! Enjoy Learning!

[Pooja Mansukhani 💻]

Thank you so much for your kind appreciation Mukesh

[Stay Foolisj]

From scratch: Javascript, React, Node, CSS, WSGI
Improved my data engineering skills by building more advanced applications
Also improved my Python skills.

[Pooja Mansukhani 💻]

Great some good skills added 😊

[Rodrigo Mello]

Did a few things, as well as getting lost with the "free" time as I was unemployed for the most part since then:

1. Kept my practices on ReactJS and React Native, now I feel comfortable with my knowledge
2. Finally updated my LinkedIn profile with my tech skills. I came from a different area and I was procastinating in updating as I didn't feel confident enough about my skills. Learned that I have to show up for these things, a lot of oportunities have appeared after it
3. Solidified Docker knowledge
4. Worked on some projects for my portfolio
5. Got into a routine for learning a new language, currently diving on Mandarin for the past months

Always looking to not overwhelm me with the amount of information out there, taking things slow and learning as I can.

Thanks for sharing!

Setting priorities. I answer to my daughter knocking on my office room door even when I’m in meetings. She’s too young to understand what I’m doing there, everybody loves seeing her on video and no meeting is that important that I’d not let her in :D

[holly]

I just learned.. well not learned, maybe just found out that you can play around that arduino thingy with python..
I'm kinda late knowing this.. duh

so many knowledge out there that I want to know.. yet so little brain capacity that I have

[Andrew Baisden]

I learned MongoDB and Mongoose as well as improving my knowledge of Node and Redux.

[Pooja Mansukhani 💻]

Great MongoDB is my next task...

[Manish Lalwani]

First read javascript then mongoDB k baare mein soachna waise pata hai kch nhi kregi

[Callum Lowry]

So I finally broke into the JS world.

Coming from a C# Back-end Developer Role it's been something i've long thought about learning however never had the time to do it. So I threw myself in at the deep-end and decided to go all out and make a project using only JS (node & express primarily)

It's been a great experience so far and i'm learning so much!

Nice to see what everyone else has been learning about on here too!

[Pooja Mansukhani 💻]

Yeah I also feel like everyone is learning in a good way.

[Slick3gz]

Been working through Jason Fedin’s advanced C course on Udemy. Only three sections left 🤩. Studying to take the CompTIA Security+ exam in the near future.

[Pooja Mansukhani 💻]

Udemy is really good choice. Keep learning ...

[Pooja Mansukhani 💻]

Is it too tough or easy?

[Keff]

I heard the most complicated part about learning Spanish is verbs, they are quite weird even for Spanish people. I didn't fully learn them in school, I still struggle sometimes.

[Keff]

Genial, ¿qué tal está yendo el proceso?

[Keff]

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!
