I stumbled upon a a great project on the DreamInCode forums. It’s called 52 Weeks Of Code. It’s basically a year-long personal challenge with no winner, no tangible reward, and nothing to show for your efforts save personal growth and and exposure to languages and techniques outside of your norm.
I love it. I’ve been experiencing renaissance-like growth in my own programming expertise, and I believe that this project will only further advance and broaden my circle-of-knowledge. So, I say to dreamincode: ”Challenge Accepted!”
Every week the good people at DremInCode post a new challenge to complete, and I’m starting the challenge three weeks late, so I’ve got some catching up to do. The first challenge was easy for me: write something in jQuery.
The second challenge is way outside of my core skill set. I have to program something in Microsoft XNA Game Studio 3.1, which is based on the .NET Framework in the C# programming language. I’ve never written a line of code in C#, so this should be interesting.
As the challenges roll by I’ll be posting my results here as well as the DreamInCode forum.
