My new year’s resolution is to update myself on technologies that I haven’t been able to put into use yet. Some major ones are CSS Grid, Code Splitting, Unit Testing, and Offline Support. What tech are you excited about, regardless of whether it's old or new?
I am a bit late to the party, but I am enthusiastic about blockchain's use cases in various fields. I taught myself the basic concepts behind blockchain and how to write smart contracts this month. My goal for 2018 is to strengthen my knowledge about Ethereum blockchain, learn more about Solidity language and get better at writing Smart Contracts.
If anyone is interested do check out some of my side projects & writings involving blockchain. I built/wrote these this month.
Building your own Ethereum based ERC20 Token and launching an ICO
Send Ethers this new year (this can be significantly improved)
Absolutely love low-level dev. Definetely gonna learn as much as I can about systems and library development using the GNU compiler. I'm also finally going to create my first app for the Windows Store (don't ask), which will be hard to do with a $0 budget as a full-time student, but I'm up for it!
All this trending on blockchain. Also I've been postponing machine learning.
I hope make my hands dirty with those two.

You have to believe in things that are not true. How else would they become?
I will probably take a deep dive into Rust and/or Go, just for the sake of learning a new language.
I want to learn about writing efficient smoke tests, and some good front end tests using Behave.
I want to learn setting up nginx to allow canary testing for select users, even if I have to write an nginx module for that (which is on my TODO list anyway.)
I want to learn end to end encryption in general (algorithms, key exchange methods, and so on.)
Thatʼs a fine list for a year, given that I have a family to manage, too.
