Quarterly curriculum - the process

What I want to achieve this October is definitely quite ambitious. After just a second of thought Ive decided on a few things. Namely leaning Linux, Debian specific, and learning HTML. I also want to get out of art block, though that doesn't quite need an entire curriculum.

I recently got a new number theory book: Elementary Number Theory by Burton. Ive been stalking it for quite a while. I collected it up from the library late last year and I struggled greatly with the logic they expected you to have. Now its quite elementary, just as the title suggests.

As it is still September while I am writing this, its still in a very beta stage. I have a slight idea of what I want. I'm going to spend four weeks taking notes on each and about two weeks on the assignments or projects I've set for myself. Ive already got good non-academic background in both of these skills. I'm quite literally writing this in HTML on a Debian thinkpad. But just like how I've taught myself art and arithmetic, I can teach myself and go deeper into the subjects that are active part of my life.

Hello! :3 its the next day. I've been thinking more about how I want to approach these topics. To learn linux, I've decided to go for The Linux Foundations free online course, available here. There is a video that has been funded by The Linux Foundation made on youtube by user freecodecamp.org that generally follows the course linked prior. I'm giving myself 8 weeks to complete this course, aka about an hour/day This shouldn't be too hard to keep up with. If I find it difficult I might extend my allotted time to 10 or maybe even 12 weeks.
