Programming Achievements: Suggestions from the GitHub Community

Last week, I published some ideas for leveling up as a developer. I put it on GitHub as a gist, and I encouraged people to modify the list to their liking:

Feel free to fork it and add more achievements. (Make sure they're measurable.)

Or, fork it and mark off the achievements you've already conquered. You might even flag the one that you're currently working on.

So far, more than 270 developers have forked this gist. Many devs have customized their forks as personal to-do lists (e.g., crossing off past achievements and highlighting the goal they're currently pursuing). A number of people have also added new achievements to their forks, indicating additional experiences that they

Los lenguajes de la JVM

Durante mucho tiempo Java ha sido conocido simplemente como un lenguaje de programación. Sin embargo, hoy en día al mencionar Java también pensamos en toda una plataforma de desarrollo. Actualmente la Java Virtual Machine (JVM) soporta más de 200 lenguajes de programación diferentes.

En esta charla haré un recorrido por 4 lenguajes diferentes en los que aprenderemos distintos paradigmas de programación. Comenzamos con Java, un lenguaje que apenas necesita introducción; rápidamente llegaremos a Groovy, que partiendo de la sintaxis de Java crea un nuevo lenguaje dinámico; el siguiente será Scala, que mezcla el paradigma de orientación a objetos y el paradigma funcional; y por uĺtimo Clojure, LISP en la JVM!
