Happy New Year 2013 & a rewind to 2012

The year 2012 was a good one in terms of setting up a goal, and working towards the goal. Although, I would say I did not make any significant progression in the desired direction, I learned a lot from this exercise.I went through several programming languages, bought license for few good IDE's to test them out and tested them out as well.

So, this one year helped me to move from a novice to a bit more advanced level person in the field of Software Engineering. I managed to build and deploy a website on my own, this exercise helped me to learn a lot about web administration which otherwise I would have never learned.

All in all , it was a good experience and helped me bootstrap to year-2013.

In 2013, my focus is to take the skills that I acquired in the last 1 year to next level. To achieve this, I plan to start participating in Live TopCoder SRM's and start solving examples from Euler using Java and Python.Although, my mind at time lingers around C++, for now I am firmly focussing on these two.

My IDE Choices:

• IntelliJ - for Java
• PyCharm - for Python
• MacVim - In general

That's all from me on this new year day, will write more soon.
