In the coming year, we want to offer topics that element14 members want to know more about. In the past, we have focused on hardware components or technologies such as IOT that many members have an interest in. IOT is an interesting topic and I feel is still an emerging technology with a lot of room for learning.
But I think want to shake the tree a bit and offer refreshing topics that a lot of people are excited about.
For starters, I was thinking at the end of this year to offer a Fundamentals on C, C++, Embedded C, or Java, etc. (Only one of them!) That's what comes to my mind. We aren't committed to those topics yet. We want to be flexible in the topics presented.
On the other side of the coin, I'm not really looking for topics that are very niche, such as Control Theory, How To Hack Your PC (that's e14 Presents Territory), Fast Fourier Transforms (may not have a lot of interest with our makers?), etc.
Now you may debate my opinion that they are niche, and that's fine. I could be persuaded otherwise, but I'm looking to offer topics that have broad appeal on element14, that is, would appeal to a lot of different people.
I do feel that software-oriented learning is very important. But that's not the only thing. I am fascinated about the quick evolution of 3D printing, too.
So, that's what's on my mind.
What do you think?
What would you like to learn about in the coming year?
