So, 2017 is the year I take my learning to the next level.
I am fascinated by computers, the web, code, and the application of engineering, coding, and business to old problems. My goal: solve aold problems with new tech.
Think about it. Here are the parameters. The problem has to be labor intensive and equipment intensive.
Top problems I like:
- Recycling – How to get the most material out of the residue stream and into recycable material.
- Landscaping – How to reduce the need for labor intensive work by cost effectively allowing autonomus machines to do the work
- Transportation – Reducing the cost per mile through smart planning
- Repairs – Scheduling repairs instead of incurring the cost of unplanned downtime.
So, these problem are diverse, but all have a similar theme; elimination of waste. My goal is to do the right thing in the best way possible. And the only way to know that is to have internal tracking to show progress.
Great problems whose solution leads to better life on the planet. Yes, these are small problems. Yet, there solution is elegant and creates opportunity out of boring industries.
Let’s upturn the established order and do it better.
So, let’s start with Computer Education.
I need to be able to express my ideas and get traction in the world. So, marketing becomes my number one priority. To keep costs low. I want to learn as much about computers, coding, and websites as possible.
Computer Education:
- Codecademy – Javascript, Learn Ruby on Rails, Deploy a Website – Basically everything on here is valuable to learn
- Hootsuite Academy
- Google Analytics Academy
- Free Code Camp
This is the start. I’ll keep documenting my advances.
