Summer challenges

This summer there are couple of interesting challenges. During July the #30daysofTesting challenge started. In addition, the Helsinki area libraries are having a reading challenge (altough this covers whole year)

Days 1-3 of Testing

Day 1. (Book) Started reading ‘Showing up’ from Leanpub

Day 2. (Photo) Tricky.

Just recently I was in conference where I took lots of images, but maybe better is the report I’m starting with:

This is the final result, which I would like to have, but not yet run this against with my data, which might still require some cleaning up.

Day 3. (Podcast) Searched for a testing-related new podcast and currently listening it. It is funny that I’ve some life, management, technology related pocast in my listening list, but haven’t searched/found one from testing side. One book at some point had too low-volume audio, so maybe that has caused some kind of tiny ‘horns effect’, which I haven’t got past yet :)

Helmet Reading-challenge situation overview

Have so far read books which cover 3, 6, 8, 9, 16, 18, 19, 21, 25, 35, 41, 48 (at least) .

It would be interesting to analyze if there are books, which cover several of the challenges. Definitely the Nobel winner one is something take up on as my long-term goal is to read something from all of the Nobel literary prize winners Also especially those recommendations, which require that author is from specific continent require bit of investigation.

Other challenges

Another personal goal is to complete couple of interesting open university courses during July (as they have deadline at the end of the month). Those require lots of reading and writing, so maybe can get also couple book challenges done along the way. :sun_with_face:
