- Ruby - Believe it or not I'm beginning to feel constrained in statically typed languages (it's a mostly love and partially hate relationship). Ruby seems to be all the rage so I want to poke around in it.
- AOP - I would love nothing more than to break logging out of the components I write. I know I can abstract them out in one of a billion ways but I'd rather just have it be completely invisible to classes whose responsibilities should be focused on their task and not making sure log4net gets the message.
- Being a computer scientist - I got so wrapped into the abstraction of software that I stopped thinking about the science of it. Steve Yegge reminded me just how much rust I've accumulated since graduating.
- Agile Development - I've read the manifestos and some online documentation but I haven't committed to reading more details or purchasing any publications. The only reason I'm partially reluctant to start now is that it's a major uphill battle with my current team. They aren't dumb and they read about this stuff but there's no interest there. I'm not much on lobbying and I can't train them all (including the role of our manager).
Right now I'm mixed between finding out what AOP offerings there are for .NET and playing in Ruby development. I want to play with toys instead of read books.
