An update on where my learning is at:
- I finished going through all the lectures in my CompTIA Network+ course. I have decided it's probably not worth the time and effort (and money!) to get the Network+ certification right now for what I want to do.
- I logged back into acloud.guru and began their AWS Developer Associate course. Given where I am in my coding course, I think this is the cert that I should pursue next. The SysOps Admin Associate exam is changing in Q3 of 2021, so I plan to wait until courses and study materials have updated to include the new material before working on that certification.
- I have completed my personal website, after a number of long days refamiliarizing myself with HTML and CSS. You can see it at alexeversmeyer.com. The content is simple, and probably still a WIP - just like my online resume! Guess I should update that, too...
- I have started learning web scraping with Python's Beautiful Soup module.
- I have 'officially' begun work on my next side project, transforming the Habit Tracker that I created using Pixela APIs into a GUI that I will then compile into a standalone executable for my own use. It won't be terribly fancy; one step at a time. I'm learning how to use the guizero module for this side project, which is a wrapper for tkinter. I could use tkinter, as I have done for other projects, but the syntax for guizero is more intuitive (so far). This adds an extra element of challenge to the project.
