Plans for 2005

Last year, the only major thing that I did was getting married ;) (j/k) With that, I also completed my MSc. in Mobile Computing from University of Bradford, released few pet projects, completed the update for the book ( which you can find here) . But, indeed, none of these are comparable to the first thing.

But, as 2004 passed, I have to concentrate on the new year. So here are few things that I planned for 2005

- Probably start some kind of subscription service (ala Paul Wilson style) for some products and content. (microISV, miniISV, nanoISV blah blah :)

- Learn Whidbey (maybe after it is officially released)

- Learn a new language (most probably Python). In my opinion, this is going to be a big year for Python as you can already see the trend.

- Read and Understand atleast a couple of big Open Source Projects (more on this later)

- Write about software development in Financial Industry (where I am currently involved)

- Write more about Mobile Computing and practical applications of Queuing Theory (Give others what I learned from the Uni)

- Follow more webcasts.

- Learn marketing (probably very difficult, but I will try my best)

- Write few technical articles

- Focus more on devmobile.net (Redesign it, improve it, inject some pure content in it)

So, I'll be posting a detailed schedule to cover most, if not all, of the above activities. Stay tuned to this blog.
