An update

Over the last few days, I have been mostly getting used to my new environment in Bangalore.It's been awesome with some really knowledgeable people around me.I am getting to learn a lot here, and my mind keeps occupied atleast for now.So, what's the plan for 2013? Here it is.

I decided to focus on two topics this year, which is C++ and Python. Also, another topic which I want to focus on is my concentration levels and the ability to concentrate for long time. I need to develop this latter skill a lot more than my programming prowness. I am getting easily distracted these days with various useless thoughts.

So to achieve the above 3 tasks, I have installed Linux Mint 14 -64 bit on my Office laptop ( obviously with dual boot), so that during office hours I can work on windows and complete office related work and when I am free, I can switch on to linux and continue my learning. To help me write code, I have installed two editors Vim (for Python) and CodeBlocks(for C++) , I believe this much is enough to accomplish decent development environment.

I will start working on this from tomorrow and will update the world about my progress in coming days

Note:

You can clearly see me dwindling between Java and C++ quite often, I finally gave up this psychological dilema and decided to focus on C++. The reason was an article(http://www.crosstalkonline.org/storage/issue-archives/2008/200801/200801-Dewar.pdf) by veteran professors from NYU, I felt their article was well researched on and a pure outcome of their quantitative analysis combined with their real world experience while teaching students and working with professional programmers.
