A Brief Introduction

I am an aspiring autodidact, hoping to develop useful, interesting, and potentially marketable skills through self learning. In the past several months, I've dabbled with HTML, CSS, and Python, though I've learned very little. With the start of a new job, I'm hoping to have much more time to study, learn, and play. This blog is an attempt to get serious and track my progress. I'm also open to feedback and advice as to what topics I should consider covering and in what sort of order. Below is my current "to-do" list. I'd like to gain some sort of proficiency in Python before moving on to any other programming languages. I also need to improve and build upon my math knowledge, and I'd be interested in starting to cover some CS topics that I could learn with my current (very little) knowledge of Python.
