I got a job as english(esl) teacher in my hometown in Kz

hi everyone, I do..... "unrelated" job - working as english teacher, I teach high school students IELTS!

Yeah, it sounds silly, provided I graduated this August with software engineering degree( no experience)

Why do I work in this area?

I believe it will be good 3-4 months "communication skills workshop", teaching is a soft and slow method to improve leadership, management skills.  

I absolutely believe this experience will serve me well, it won't be lost! In addition, I plan to launch 3 hobbies: freelance writing, forex trading, exercising

I m pretty sure I will not become a next rockstar in these areas(shit, this would require TONS of sacrifice!, years of sweating and pain)

so I don't have any illusions....

For these 2 months I only got 6 very basic, simple applications on Android:
  • address book 
  • cannon ball game 
  • guess the flag quiz game 
  • twitter searches 
  • tip calculator 
  • doodls 

It is all on github, by the way!

My first reading challenge 2014 - finished early! YEAH!

Congrats to myself: i have successfully completed my own READING CHALLENGE 2014!!!!






this was not easy - to read 52 books(1 book -1 week) for the whole year, this is astonishing!

I admit, i have cheated a bit - i chose short books sometime just to finish them in 1-2 days.

But this year, I have discovered so much more about the world - globalization, how the world is actually flat and we compete with everyone everywhere!!

I did not read much about SOFTWARE engineering this time - but I will focus more on computer science books in 2015.

I have a pretty long list of books i want to read and MORE IMPORTANTLY - EXERCISES I WILL DO from those books!
Don't worry - i will post explanations as I do them.

Thanks to all reading this blog - I did not post too much, but i will do so more regularly

This is the list of books - many are not in english :)
