It's been a while since Justice tagged me in his How I am becoming a better developer, part 1 of infinity post. I've  gone through some personal issues lately but now I feel ready to publicly post what I'm doing to make myself a better developer.  Now I'm not as ambitious as Justice or D'Arcy but I feel that I can achieve these goals in the next 6 months.

Certifications
    - pass the 3 exams to get my MCPD: Windows Developer certification. I know I could just pass the
      upgrade exam but I really want to feel like I know the material inside and out.

Education
    - Start working towards completing the Certificate in Software Development @ UNB. Only have 3 courses
      remaining and I should be able to transfer these over to a degree program at Athabasca University.

Books
    - Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns: With Examples in C# and .NET by  Jimmy Nilsson.

User Groups
    - make two presentations to the Fredericton .NET user group before Xmas.

Projects
    - Develop a portfolio of applications. Nothing fancy, just start building stuff!


So that's the plan. time to make some schedules and focus on getting things done.

And I'm not going to tag anyone. I'm simply going to ask those who do read my blog what are you doing to make yourself a better developer?

Pitter-patter, let's get at 'er!
