Where does the time go?!?

Wow! A week sure comes...and goes. I missed my deadline a couple of times. Now, why did I miss the deadlines? I have a few thoughts on that.

First, I am taking time on my own to read and learn about C#. There are so many different ways to approach C# that I am finding it hard to really focus on one aspect of programming and C#. That is something I need to work on.

Second, I am not making progress as fast as I would expect myself to be making at this point. I am reading a book called "Head First C#" by Jennifer Greene and Andrew Stellman and it is helping, but I don't feel I am setting enough time aside to make a real dent in the book. I am barely getting to the end of the fourth part where I am finally making my first program. I started the book two months ago (that is a guesstimate).

Third, I have a list of topics to write here, but I don't feel like an expert, yet. I am one of those people that takes time to analyze and only speaks up when I know for certain I have the correct answer. That isn't always the best place to be in. Maybe I should write about those subjects, be wrong and then have someone leave me a note setting me straight. I would learn to fail and fail fast.

At any rate, is writing a blog about programming the right thing for me at this time in my life?

I was beginning to wonder why you'd broken your promise to your followers - I've been checking back every week! This looks like a fun adventure and I look forward to following you on your journey; hope to learn a lot along the way. To answer your final question - Yes!

K.C.! I guess I need to keep up my commitments because people are actually reading (and people I see every day too)! Just did another post, I know it has been over a week. I need to get better, I just need to push myself to make myself better at both the coding and the blogging.
