Continued Learning and Projects

I am always interested in expanding my knowledge and learning new things. One of the things that I have wanted to learn more of is modern backend web api design and modern frontend frameworks. I have begun research and experimenting with different types of web development in my off time for personal projects. I have started learning C# and how to create a C# .NET core api that can connect to a mysql database. I have also begun experimenting with React and Vue frontends.

Others that I would like to learn more about are svelte, solid js, python Django, python fastapi, PHP Laravel, and Java Springboot. These are all topics that i've heard much about, but have not had the time or opprotunity to look into more deeply.

One area that I would like to get back into doing is game development. During college when I was first learning Java, we had some assignments that were based on simulating simple games. Such as simulating dice rolls, or simulating different card games. As a semster end project I created a simple snake-like game in Java. I would like to be able to try my hand at doing this again. Some directions I have considred are to make a simple engine from strach in java or python, or try and use one of the ready built engines like godot or unity.
