Happy New Year fellow coders! January is often a time to reflect about the past year and think about the future.
In May of 2012 I started artsycoder.com, a place to share my coding adventures with others. I had a few different projects on the go at the time, and made a goal to publish at least one article each month. Some months the articles practically wrote themselves and others I hit that Publish button with a sigh of relief. By December, my goal had been met! If I were to sum up the year in learning, it was still quite client-side Web-focused, with a series on responsive design, some HTML5, CSS and jQuery, but with the introduction of PHP, AJAX and ASP.NET/C#, I was starting to get into newer areas of server-side coding and application development.
Towards the end of last year, I started to think about my projects for 2013. Java mobile apps, PHP database programming, CSS3 animation and HTML5 games came to mind. During the month of January I have been taking a peek into all of these areas to figure out where to focus first.
