Introduction

    Hello its a me again drifter1! Another wonderful Steemtastic Year is passing by. I hope that all your dreams and passions will finally be fulfilled in the new year, and that this new year will be full of love, happiness and most importantly good health! This year was clearly something. We were in a bear-market, but could spend our hardly worked money of 2017 :P and earn money for the future, that might be 2019! After so many months it's also time for a Recap..So, let's get into a recap, where I will as always split the articles into categories!

What's next?

Other new "series" that are in plan are:

• Web Development series in HTML, CSS, Javascript, php and SQL, under a new Category called "Web Dev"
• The languages C#, Python, ... under Programming
• Artificial intelligence -> Theory and Programming implementation, which means that this series might be a part of "Programming"
• Parallel programming in OpenMP, CUDA, OpenCL, ..., maybe in a new category of "Parallel Programming", but we will see
• Databases for the Web Dev series
• Game development in Unity (that's why C# is in this list) or Unreal Engine

And this is actually it for this article and I hope that you enjoy such Recaps!
