As mentioned in my about page, I’ve mostly been focused on iOS development for the past few years. I have worked on other platforms, mainly Android and some backend Ruby code, but it is not frequent and it has been a while. I also have not deployed to a server since using capistrano or fabric a long time ago. Since I’m on parental leave from work, so I decided to correct that.

I’m taking some time to dig into areas where my skills don’t go beyond the superficial, specifically DevOps and more back end development. I went through Victor Farcic’s DevOps Toolkit, the PragProg Elixir and Phoenix books. Overall it’s been great and I hope to write a bit more about what I’ve been learning and maybe compare these to doing mobile development.
