Moving On

Already halfway done with my intro Coursera class, trying to look into practical applications now.  Seeing if I can write something that will help me every day, or at work, etc.

In the meantime, I've typed out what I think they should do once written, but I have a bit more to work through before I am confident that it will succeed.

Signed up for classes at a local city college so I can begin working towards a piece of paper that acknowledges my course completions, as well as allowing me to have dedicated time to learn instead of be distracted by other things that need doing.

I figure, get a certificate in programming (learning ruby-on-rails, C++, and a course on linux, plus the other requirements) that requires 30 hours, use those credits to get an associate's degree, then use those to move on to finish my Bachelor's degree (which already has all core classes completed and at this point a bunch of useless ones also completed).

While working though this will take many more years than intended, but so long as it is applicable knowledge I have no trouble with that.
