Tim Barcz posed a great question “Where Do You Want To Be In a Year?”.  I’d like to echo Tim’s question and post my own answers.

Where do you want to be in a year?

My answers (in no particular order):

  • Continue to get exposed to applying technology in different industries through my work as a consultant
  • Learn more Silverlight, MVC and client-tier technologies that I’ve neglected (due to so much SOA work)
  • Continue studying and applying good software design practices
  • Continue my involvement with the St Louis .NET Community
  • Attend/Speak at an out-of-state code camp or dev conference
  • Read those books I’ve been putting off
  • Continue writing
  • Get my productivity system back in place and stick to it
  • To be awarded with another MVP (I’m up at the end of June)
  • To be the dad my kids need and the husband my wife needs (I think I do OK but you can always do better!)

Who else will step up and answer the question?
