This has been the longest interval between two of my posts in this blog! And, writing a blog post itself has become quite old fashioned these days. But let this post be a customary note between the years.
Started the year, with a trip to Mysore in January - during Pongal holidays. Read quite a few books. Jaya by Devdutt Pattanaik, Sivakamiyin Sabadham, Parthiban Kanavu, En Iniya Iyanthira and Meendum Jeano of Sujatha, followed by Poiman Karadu. Adding to the list are 6174, The Last Lecture, Sita by Devdutt Pattanaik. Most of the books that I read are in the first half of the year. Not able to allocate time to reading during the latter half.
Followed Algorithms I and II in Coursera with Bharath. Read a lot related to functional programming. Have been getting used to a lot Haskell and Elm. Having acquainted with Haskell has been one great story of this year.
Helped in a very small way towards the making of book "Write Code in Tamil" by Dr. Muthiah Annamalai, the creator of Ezhil Language
This year, had a chance to attend the Python India conference and Functional Programming conference, held in Bangalore. Gave a lightning talk on functional programming in Python conference. Visited Singapore for the first time for a technical workshop in R.
Looking forward to 2015 to be even more exciting and eventful! To read a lot of books, to do more functional programming, solve real world problems and travel a lot!
Wish you all a happy and prosperous 2015!
