In between doing mundane things in life, I've started doing more work to keep myself sharp as my office work has diminished vastly. This year has turned out good for me as I've started freelancing on my own on part-time basis and am currently relearning android application development to take advantages of the newer generation phones and create an app or two. The new android studio merits a mention here - from eclipse, it has now moved to intellij ide and different wizards as well as gradle based build tool is added, which augments development. However, emulating newer mobile devices does not work on my machine as it takes up quite a lot of time to initialize and random crashes also occur, so using a physical devise is the only workable option for now. My approach towards learning has also undergone a change and now I am working in shorter sprints of hack and learn cycles that ease my understanding process.
I get sidetracked by various side projects often and am also preparing for the hybris core and commerce developer certification, which to me seems like a college level exam - you sulk at it till the penultimate day. I do hope that businesses realize the importance of knowledge over a certificate given the presence of questions to be asked in exam over the internet, often called dumps.
Since I am having the luxury of time at my disposal, I am able to plan for my tech startup/business idea that would sustain me in future as well as allow me to be an entrepreneur.
