The path forward

Reflections 1 Minute

Great! I’ve found my path forward:

Create my basic news app in Spring Boot, playing with web front-ends (e.g. Angular), and learning the Spring stuff. Using Git on GitHub.

Looking at moving said stuff to AWS in a basic way.

Re-writing my code in Spring Cloud and AWS Lambda in a serverless way.

Moving my stuff to AWS in a basic way.

All the while, using my Safari subscription to read and use as much as I can.

Learning AWS, using a cloud guru, probably stop Safari subscription while doing this.

Maybe take some certifications.

Look at automating, CI/CD usign Jenkins or whatever people use. I must remember that I don’t actually want to be a DevOps person, I’m happy creating things and only need to know enough to get my job done.

I might learn Python to help with this, I already know Perl, so it’s not going to be that different.

Then implementing my code with the knowledge I’ve gained.

Cool… let’s get going!

I have been a software developer since 2004 and have worked in many different languages. I started off using scripting languages on the web and transitioned into Enterprise Java development. I have worked as a Team Leader and independent contractor in this capacity. I then decided to take a break, before changing direction to create apps for mobile devices. I changed languages and focused more on the business and design side of things for a while. However, I'm getting pretty jaded by the new and shiny, so I am going back to what I know best and retraining in all the new Java ways and really enjoying the process. My Java 8 certification was the start, this blog will tell the rest of the story.
