Depends on what you want to achieve - professional or personal growth. If you want to use the certificate for getting a job, depends on how many companies value the course.
I took a Tai chi for health course online - given that there were no similar instructors / courses locally available, I felt it was worth the money.
1) List your priorities.
2) Take top most priority - do whatever is possible.
3) When nothing more is possible to be done for top priority, go back to 1.
Technology wise I think I am a top software engineer - in the sense that I have learnt many types of programming languages / frameworks or can learn new tech fast.
What I totally suck at - creating something that people would want and tell their friends about.
Its pretty cool to have your own language + source code of games like mario!
Is there a page where you compare language features - i.e what motivated you to create your own?
Also, what is your team size and how long you all are behind this?
1) What is the size of the pipes you are considering? Will it be big enough for humans to get into for maintenance - I was thinking what would happen if a delivery vehicle breaks down or a small animal gets into a tunnel.
2) Have you considered small blimps as delivery vehicles? The technology has got considerably better and should be less noisy than drones.
As a software dev I need code snippets in different programming languages, or how to for related stuff. I know mostly the answers will be on stackoverflow but rather than search on that site, its better to google for it. This allows search on multiple sites and the summary listings help decide where to go next.
Recently I installed bugzilla (developed in php). Its pretty amazing what people can create considering all were volunteers.
First I tried to install in windows, eventually gave up as the DB driver was not installing and had a whole bunch of compiling issues. Then installed on ubuntu after lot of bumps - I had to go all over the internet to troubleshoot lot of major / minor issues.
It seems lot of hard work went into php earlier (bugzilla needs a lot of modules) but now people are moving on to newer stuff.
Remember the times you were happy, reflect on what made you happy. Happiness is something that comes from inside, not by putting something in - even information.
I have some background in automation, python, and shell scripting - but I cant tell your exact pain points (other than you want to reduce some work). Maybe you can use some python (or some other language) scripting for generating your scripts , but having detailed knowledge of your scenario would be helpful to answer this.
I read that its ok to have a video in some cases.
I put out a video thinking that it would take a couple of days to setup all the components and experiment - instead the video would give an idea of what to expect and let me get an idea if anyone was interested.
Try asking the network admin of your clients network to allocate a max limit - e.g. in a 4 GBPS line, your application will get max 2 GBPS, so the files keep uploading but your users wont feel their net is down when someone uses your app.
There are 2 fields - Web scraping is done to get data from the web, automation is done to ensure websites keep functioning as planned.
1. For web scraping, you may get consulting jobs.
For automation testing, search for job title of 'QA Automation Tester'.
2. Consultant / Tester / Analyst (Depending on seniority till you become Testing Manager)
3. I think there is a much larger market for testing. You can start by learning selenium. There are many testing frameworks, but it comes down to the company - which programming language and framework they use.
4. You can think of learning appium for mobile (android and iOS) automation.
5. Maybe you can try to search for work in Ruby for starts.
