I also did some reading regarding the much popular JQuery framework with Learning JQuery Third edition and JQuery Mobile First Look and I&#8217;m currently reading <a title=\"Code Complete\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Code-Complete-Practical-Handbook-Construction\/dp\/0735619670\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1325446516&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\">Code Complete<\/a> and <a title=\"Clean Code\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Clean-Code-Handbook-Software-Craftsmanship\/dp\/0132350882\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1325446542&amp;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\">Clean Code<\/a> (both excelente so far).<\/p>\n<p>For 2012 I hope to have the time to read more about programming in general in order to continue to improve my programming skills. I have some recommended books I want to read including classics such as the Pragmatic Programmer, Programming Pearls, Design Patterns (Elements of Reusable OOS),<\/p>\n<h2>Things to Learn &#8211; Git, Html5, Mobile, NoSQL, IOS<\/h2>\n<p>This year I would like to take a look at some of the things that were very hot in 2011, namely the Git source control mechanism (as I mostly use SVN) and check out if its a better tool than what I currently use.<\/p>\n<p>I want to take a look at HTML5 (especially because of frameworks using HTML5 to create mobile apps such as JQuery Mobile) as we&#8217;re seeing browsers having greater support for it, yes, even IE :).<\/p>\n<p>On another note, I think I want to see a NoSQL database in action to see what all the fuss is about :P. IOS programming has been in my agenda for some time but I \u00a0haven&#8217;t been able to find the time to commit to it \ud83d\ude41 I have some ideas for applications, need commit to this one.<\/p>\n<h2>XEO Community<\/h2>\n<p>I really hope to have more time to contribute to the community version of XEO. Maybe a set of mobile components? (which would be a way to force me to try out the JQuery Mobile framework). I have a project being done with XEO, I also hope to finish that \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h2>The Blog<\/h2>\n<p>I really need to commit to this blog more often.<\/p>\n<p>Happy 2012 to everyone (until December 21, that is :P)!<\/p>\n<p>Update: Post title updated because my friend <a title=\"Ygor Cardozo Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ygorcardoso.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ygor<\/a> reminded me of a big goal for 2012 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone, First day of the year, I thought I should try and write down some goals for 2012 \ud83d\ude42 First &#8211; Read, read, read 2011 was a nice year in terms of reading, I read some really great books, &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/01\/goals-for-2012\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-95","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109,"href":"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95\/revisions\/109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.corrspt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
