Introduction

So , finally I thought, I would need to develop some kind of mechanism to force myself to achieve more. I think, this blog will do it, as it will obligate me to log my progress towards a more successful me.

How rude I am... let me introduce myself!

I am a software developer, who works in the capital of Hungary, in Budapest. I am currently working for a huge international outsourcing software development company, as a senior .Net based web engineer. My main focus of work as of now is back-end services, from the dark ages (WCF) to newer beauties (.NET core self hosted stuff), and of course everything between them.

 From a personal point of view, I am 27 years old,  married and a proud father of a beautiful and insanely clever one-and-a-half year old little girl. I'm in the software development industry since the September of 2012, and from that point I am in the .NET stack.

As I wrote in the first paragraph, mainly the purpose of creating this blog is to enhance myself, and track that progress regularly. Based on my observations, I behave as many fellow software developers, I simply like to procrastinate. I like to make plans and then just let them fall apart because of "lack-of-time" and other bullshit reasons. Now, I am creating this blog to make sure, that I will control this behavior onward.

Goals, that I would like to achieve, and which will be tracked in this blog:
  1. Create a blog entry, which is at least 100 words log twice a week. Initially this should enhance my glossary and writing skills, and hopefully cover the personal or professional development of the week.
  2. Continue my postponed learning in the Open Source Society University. Even though I think, that from an experience point of view I am way ahead of the topics that the OSSU covers in the first periods, it will be just fine for letting me get used to daily, bi-daily learning.
  3. Read a book which relates to software development every two months. I already have a big to read list in one of my Trello boards, hope they will do it.
  4. Get into a new software development infrastructure besides .NET in 2018. This will widen my views on software crafting related stuff (and I think it will be Rust or maybe Ruby).
  5. Get into business and management theory. I worked for a year already as the Lead Engineer of a team of eight, but I ran away from that because it felt like, I'm at my point of incompetence. I still think that I will be able to jump into the management track as well, as time flows, but before that I still in need to have a deeper understanding of software projects and people.
  6. Read something about how to write, because I think all of the above stuff is a pain in the ass to read. I will look into that as well during the year.
The list is prioritized, so I know what to concentrate on. Keep on hold I will write a new entry soon.

CS50 - week 1 - Problem Set 2/4

I will continue in this article solving the first set of C tasks from CS50 , while listening to Savant's new album, Jester , which is by the way freaking awesome! So the task is to accept an integer and than draw two half-pyramids (rectangles if you wish so). Example: Input: 3 Output:   # #  ## ## ### ### We could ask all the same questions, as we done it in the previous task , so I will not bore you with that. I will jump into thinking about the solution! So, if we call  the input as N, we can observe, that the output will be a matrix, and the height of the matrix now is N, and the width of the matrix this time is 2N+1, meaning, that in the last row we will draw twice the times the hashtags as the input number plus one tiny separator white space. Plan to solve the problem: Get an integer from the user Validate if the integer is bigger than zero. If not, then terminate. Else draw N-(current row number) spaces, N times the hashtags, a space, N times the ...

CS50 - week 1 - Problem Set 1/4

Harvard runs an introductory computer science course, called CS50. The purpose of the said course is to give a taste of programming to the students. During the 12 lessons there are multiple programming languages one get exposed to upon completing the series, so far I've got introduced to Scratch and the very basics of C. Last year I already tried to get into the course, but as usual I only made the first lesson. Now I'm jumping straight into the C parts to avoid getting bored with the repeated lesson. In the CS50 series each lesson has problem sets, homework assignments which are testing the level of understanding of the given subject. In Lesson 1 there are four tasks to complete, and during this week I will complete them and write here how I've tackled them, primary because I think these tasks could be great candidates for software engineer coding interviews.  Task 1: Mario level 1 (PSET 1 - 1/4) The task is to create a software, which fulfills...
