Lifelong Learning

It started with a few iTunes University Lectures from Stanford and MIT on Machine Learning on my long flights across country. It became more formalized techucation. I wanted to better understand the work of full stack developers -- so that meant walking in their shoes and learning to program and develop myself. I enrolled in a distance learning course at MIT, an on-line course from my local community college, and a few "at your own pace" course through Stack Skills. If I am going to learn this stuff, I'm going all in!
