I got a nice little shoutout in the #Scrimba weekly newsletter.

Basically: I just suggested that people learn Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps, and SharePoint. They’re pretty easy to learn if you have programming & web dev knowledge. And it seems like these skills are pretty in-demand.

I’ve been learning and using Microsoft’s Power Platform a lot. #PowerBI

Hello all 👋

I’m still around. Just busy working.

I did get this certificate though. Not sure why LinkedIn learning gives certificates for 30 minute courses, but I might as well add it to the pile!

LinkedIn Learning will give you a certificate for anything and everything. Even this 30 minute #PowerBI course.

Got another LinkedIn Learning certificate: “ServiceNow IT Leadership - Professional Certificate.” It’s essentially about project management.

This one was a little more involved, but mostly involved watching videos + taking a 50-question test at the end.

I’m tracking the output of my presidential election odds program here:

I’m not going to be running the program / updating the numbers every day, but I’ll try to do it every few days or once a week at least.

It took me a very long time to wrap up the final project, but now I’ve completed every single #CS50 course.

I’ve completed Week 6 of #CS50R.

This week was on testing, which isn’t a super eating topic. But one of the problems in the PSET was to write a bunch of tests for a theoretical function, then ask ChatGPT to write the function. That was pretty fun.

There are no exercises for this lecture.

#CS50R Week 2 complete. ✅

This one was mostly about dealing with data in data frames. I kept thinking “I wish I could just write an SQL query” during the PSET. But R is not too bad. It seems to use a lot of C syntax.

I finished Lecture 9 from #MissingSemester. This lecture is a 1hr overt view of security and cryptography. It mostly just covers the basics of what hash functions are, what symmetric and asymmetric cryptography are, etc. No mathematics or nothing too in depth here.

#CS50R Week 1 is complete ✅.

Just some basics of R + working with CSV files. It’s fine, but I really do not like R’s “<-“ assignment operator.

I finished Lecture 8 from #MissingSemester on “Metaprogramming.” So: make files, CI/CD pipelines, and testing.

Note: I’ve been a bit lax on doing the assignments. The assignments themselves are written in a very lax way. I’ve been more interested in consuming the lectures.
