Read chapters 17 and 23 (the few I skipped were a bit more basic. I read a bit from the webhosting chapter on Nginx though).
I'm actually quite relieved to see the skills I have been studying most in the top 6. SQL, java (not as familiar, but have done some work with it), python, linux, javascript, and aws. I've done work with all of those this semester except for java (I've used some javascript this semester though). It's good that I'm also getting familiar with git. I should look into Docker. It's low on the list, but appears like it may be higher on next years. I've never heard of scrum but I'll look into that as well. It's not growing as quickly, but still has respectable growth. Seems like I'll have some decent keywords going for me.
Read this on Docker to better understand it: https://stackify.com/docker-tutorial/
Found even more info beyond the basics here: https://stackify.com/docker-environment-variables/
Also read this on Scrum, it has multiple pages: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/scrum/index.htm
I found this description of agile development to be useful. As I've seen quite a few definitions at this point and they tend to vary slightly: "Agile development is based on iterative incremental development, in which requirements and solutions evolve through team collaboration. It recommends a time-boxed iterative approach, and encourages rapid and flexible response to change. It is a theoretical framework and does not specify any particular practice that a development team should follow. "
Looked up the definition of timebox: https://www.agilealliance.org/glossary/timebox/
Mostly, set a time limit, stop work at the end of that limit and review the work that was done and the status of goals met.
Spent some time reviewing different log files on my server to make sure there wasn't another brute force. No successful attempts outside of the logins I did myself. Hardening was successful so far, and will continue with any future services added.
Looked a bit deeper into Docker and found a tutorial that interacts with AWS. Looking through that mostly for familiarity of how the two interact with one another. https://docker-curriculum.com/
Reading through this, it also has interactions with Flask and Python. Going to be carefully reading this mostly just to learn how it all works together.
I will likely try to do this project myself but it is quite extensive and seems as though it will take quite some time. I may simply do it over winter break. It goes over a lot of skills I will enjoy practicing so I have it bookmarked. Have been able to learn a good amount just by reading through the tutorial.
I have started the tutorial though, as something to do and I am currently working on it.
