This is a list to remind me of the things i need to learn and how i’m to go about it.

Database Stuff

• Mysql - I realize that there’s many things i still need to learn in regards to RDBMS & Mysql in particular. I need to find a good tutorial to begin with.
• NoSQL - This is the new hotness across the interwebs … CouchDB, MongoDB or other? Redis seems popular also

Programming Stuff

• Python - Because I love this language and i already use it with the Django stuff i do … oh and i hate really big snakes.

- Go through Learn Python the Hard Way by Zed Shaw (already started)

- How to think like a computer scientist - Allen B Downey (already started)

• Java - Used at work and has huge potentials; It’s the one language i don’t know anything about.

- I need a Tutorial for this

• Django - While not really a language, its a framework and a world on its own.

- The Definitive Guide to Django: Web Development Done Right -Django BDFL’s (Started)

-  Django 1.2 E-commerce - Jesse Legg - (Started this and is good)

• NodeJS - New hotness, need book/tutorial on this.

Projects - As proof that i’ve learned the language i’m going to do one project for each.

• Build a Cross Platform Python Desktop App - (I have ideas what i’ll build, not building just cause of build sake)
• A Java App (Same as above)
• Django - Intranet w Badges - Pinax/Social Features
