Summer -- a great time to learn!
Ryan Kopf, a Campus Ambassador for the University of Iowa and member of the OSUM community, has given himself a list of goals for the summer break.
Since Ryan reports that he had a busy semester of classes, work, projects, and volunteering, he has made a list of things he hopes to catch up on and learn throughout the summer. He states "I must ensure that I spend my summer wisely."
- Complete more of the learning modules from the Sun Academic Initiative
- Learn more about Java EE
- Setup a practice Glassfish server
- See if there's any Ruby on Rails-like framework that I like for Java (I've seen talk about things that are very similar... but they don't follow the easy-to-setup paradigm of Rails).
- Practice Ruby on Rails and finish some of my bigger projects.
I've already seen that Ryan has started working on setting up a single server running OpenSolaris with separated parts, so he obviously hasn't wasted any time so far!
I really want to point out that there are so many learning opportunities available for students all year round through OSUM and Sun. So keep testing, experimenting, playing, and learning! And please share your experiences -- whether good or bad -- with the rest of us so we can all gain from your experience! You can send blog posts to me at reviews[dot]program[at]sun[dot]com.
Wow!
Quite impressive list of goals. I'm planning something of the sort too, and so should all the students. It would benefit a lot.
