I am a self-taught technology enthusiast, open-source supporter & believer in life-long learning. For the past several years I have been learning-in-public on my own through tutorial posts, guides, trials & errors and through personal projects. Learning through open source ecosystem (eg. GitHub) or others offers an no-cost opportunity to learn in our own time & space with our commitment & efforts. I took advantage of this great opportunity to learn.

Learning in Public

It’s almost a decade that I started learning web development, what I called ‘semi-public‘. Why semi-public? It’s because I document all what I learn as a journal to reinforce me to conceptualize & retain the subject matter better. However, significant part of my learning-notes are still in private.

Until now, my learning approach has been best summarized in the following quote from Sara Soueidan.

Just write — write down what you learned, no matter how big or small. Start a blog and publish your writings there. Don’t think about whether or not people will like or read your articles — just give them a home and put them out there.

Since 2018, when I started deep diving into JavaScript, ReactJS & GatsbyJs, I started posting all my learning-note posts in public. I am working on to put my entire learning-notes posts in public. Still my learning-note posts are marked as search & comments disabled personal project sites which are accessible via following links:

• Tinjure site – I post here general stuffs & the site is currently being re-organized. Archives links – 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016.
• Tinjure WP – Here I post primarily WordPress related stuffs. Archive links – 2019 | 2018 | 2017.
• Learn Code & JS Blog sites – These two sites I started in 2018 to document my JavaScript, ReactJs & GatsbyJs learning-note posts. Learn-code Archives –  2019 | 2018 | 2017. JS blog Archives – 2019 | 2018.
• @sixtyseven site – Started several months before to document my working retirement exploration. Archive links – 2019.
• I also maintain few other personal sites : My Notes – to document my personal notes | My Drafts – I draft my all my posts here before posting.

Year-End Review Series

I have been keeping my yearly learning goals and write year-end assessment since 2016: year 2016 | year 2017(a) , 2017(b) | year 2018. The year 2019 review will be out in early January next year. Stay connected!
