Jumpstarting a 2020 New Year Resolution to get knowledgeable about Azure products and services, and get at least one certification. My primary goal is to have breadth of knowledge in Azure and depth of knowledge in Machine Learning and AI specializations in it. I will be targeting the learning paths below -- time estimates are rounded up to the nearest hour.
What will I be doing?
- Complete learning at least 1 module a day.
- For each module completed, write up a short paragraph that summarize learnings.
- Stretch Goal: write a blog post for each module completed sometime in #100Days.
- Share repo and/or blog posts publicly for accountability and awareness
Why will I be doing this?
- I am deeply interested in knowing how Azure works for my Developer Relations role
- I want to get at least one certification completed before Jan 2020
- I am passionate about Ethics/Bias in AI and want to build expertise in AI/ML
- I find that learning and doing are activities that bring me joy and fulfillment.
