2010 Goals

2010 will be a great year and I’m sure that my life will change dramatically. I have a whole bunch of ideas and things I want to do.  Here is a list of my “professional goals”.

Become an expert with ASP.NET MVC.

Ever since I first heard of ASP.NET MVC, I knew I should become proficient in it. But I can’t control the type of project I’m working on, so I neglected to do my homework and stay up to date.

Get some more experience with web design (CSS, XHTML)

A big gap to fill. I’ve made some progress but still not able to do it efficiently. I will probably pick up some books and try to design web site from scratch just for gun.

Write a jQuery plugin.

I have some ideas of plugins that haven’t made it to general release. This year, I will definitely launch one to have a real experience with launching an open source project and responding to feedback.

One contribution to an open-source project.

Something else than the jQuery plugin mentioned earlier. I have made some “improvement” to BlogEngine.Net and maybe I will submit them some changes I’ve made.

At least 100 blog posts and 100 feed reader.

95 posts to go and around 50 more readers. Completely feasible. I also picked some tips while I had a complete lack of posts for some month and I am now ready to apply them.

GTD

I need to finish Getting Things Done and try it for some months. A goal that I really need to complete this year.

Get back into the shape of my life.

I took some weight since the wedding in October 2009 and I can now see how it affect my health. So I am ready to take care of this again. It may not looks like a professional goal but I’m sure It will have a big impact in the end.
