Back in 2011, I took up the challenge of learning Seven Languages in Seven Weeks. The book is Bruce Tate’s tour through seven of the most interesting languages about.
I eventually finished working my way through the exercises and blogging about it in early 2012, almost a year after starting.
The experience was rewarding as well as challenging.
So, by way of a New Year Thing ™
, I got hold of the followup book, which is imaginativley titled Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks. Over the next weeks and, let’s face it, in all likelihood, months, I shall blog my experiences of working through the book.
The rules
It is sometimes good to fix some constraints when attempting a project. These shall be my rather minimal set.
- My seven weeks need not be consecutive.
- But I will try and do it in less than a year this time!
- I will try all the exercises, and blog code for ones I solve.
That’s enough rules, watch this space for more.
