  • I look at what is coming down the pipe on roadmaps, look at what best suits my work environment, then dive into those.

    I use vendor-supplied training, informative internet sites, hands-on with trials, etc.

    I then look at what is coming out that I want to know more about or dive into for my own enjoyment and betterment. And I split my learning time between the two.

    For work right now much of it is focused around Orion (I'm a NOC manager) and Azure (all things Azure).

    For my own personal growth, enjoyment, I am learning Linux and working with Raspberry Pi's and I will just tell you that it is more fun than I could have imagined!
