A place to capture my programming adventures for the year



----
Most of work revolves around python (2, unfortunately), C++ & some ruby (&/ puppet). However completing two MOOCs, Grossman's *Programming languages* (Coursera) & Eric Meijer's *FP101* (edX) at the end of '14 really gave a lift in understanding functional programming style better. 

----
Got started with Go programming with [Go Bootcamp](http://www.golangbootcamp.com). Pretty good book, with good pacing, if you already know some programming language. Go seems pretty simple to learn and be productive in a week's time

----
Rekindled my love for solving [Project Euler](http://http://projecteuler.net) problems, with a project on Github, [solve-euler](https://github.com/theanalyst/solve-euler). Currently did solutions in Python, [Hy](http://hylang.org) (a lisp in python), Haskell & Go.  

This time rather than purely solving the problems by just printing them to `stdout`, I tried using the language's module system and basic test frameworks to get a feel of that as well. Kind of gives me a decent soft start into the language. At the moment a travis job also runs to test the solutions in the 4 languages.
