<h1>Year 2019 Plans and Schemes</h1>
<p>
Going to try and put a bit more structure around the areas I've been interested in.
The focus of 2019 is going to be on some fundamental subjects, nothing too flashy.
</p>
<h2>Some Likely Areas:</h2>
<p>
<b>Khan Academy Mathematical Review</b> - I always slacked off in math in school because I didn't really appreciate what it was going to help me with.
I've slowly reached the point professionally where Math is starting to really pop up more prominently. I'm planning on doing a refresher of sorts
through algebra/calculus, then proceeding on to ones I never took in school (linear algebra, multi-variable calculus, etc). Part of the motivation
behind this is to gain a stronger grounding in theory for use in other interests (APL and functional programming mostly).
</p>
<p>
<b>APL</b> - I've been interested in Array programming for awhile, and recently bought APL: An Interactive Approach,
with the intent of working through the examples abbreviated chapter notes.
</p>
<p>
<b>Emacs/Org-Mode</b> - I try to use Emacs nearly every week, and then fall off the wagon and fire up Sublime Text or VS Code for ease.
I want to love Emacs, but I feel it actively gets in the way of me getting work done in some ways, because it has so much fiddling with settings.
I get the impression if I forced myself to really work at it eventually I would have a breakthrough and find it natural. I'm going to try and use
it as the editor for other things in this list (Latex, APL, Scala, etc), so as to reinforce things.
</p>
<p>
<b>Latex/Beamer/TiKZ</b> - Similar to my comment on Emacs. I admire a great looking paper/presentation created in Latex, but I seem to need to author one
so rarely that tools like Word and Powerpoint always seem nearer at hand.
</p>
<p>
<b>Scala</b> - I have a background using F#, and have recently purchased the garden path Scala book, and just reading the first 100 pages or so,
the similarity is pretty strong. I feel like much of the effort in learning Scala will be around the tooling and libraries.
Some of the areas I'm going to look into are Parser Combinators, Effectful programming (Catz and other libraries), and term rewriting.
