What have you been working on this summer? How many days did you spend working? Was it worth it?
"Worth It" is a tough one as it's still mostly losing money even though people constantly complain about how expensive it is.
I've been learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, PHP, Apache, MySQL, Bash, Ruby, and Android. I've also been using Linux regularly for the first time, as well as Vim.
The main projects I have been working on are my personal website/blog, a text-adventure game in Ruby, A js game using Canvas, and working through the chapters and exercises of "Beginning Android 4 Application Development" (feels like a tome).
I'm asking out of real curiosity, I'm not judging or anything.
I don't work on these all at the same time, but since I am out of school for 4 months in the summer I have had a lot of time to spend a couple weeks working on one project, and then a couple working on another, and so on. I don't have a schedule for myself, but I try to do some programming every day. There are a lot of technologies I would like to learn; I have a whole career in the future to specialize and learn something VERY in depth.
Also, I'm a quick learner ;)
EDIT: Forgot to add Git to the list in the first post. Something else I started using this summer.
Tried to get stable owners to sell their tours on the site, failed.
Probably closing it down soon if nothing magically happens.
This one only really took a few days to get it working to a reasonable degree and it was worth every minute to replace the older project with maintenance issues. Other projects were worked on of course, but none of them are at a nicely completed stage.

I also learned how to business in preparation for founding a startup. Probs spent 100 hours on reading, discussions, and practice pitches.

I've been writing these non-stop for a few weeks now. Let me know what you guys think. A simple star on github could help get this project some traction and perhaps we can one day come up with the best possible representations of every type of data there is :)
It is currently only available to play with Defcoin but it is pretty fun so far. It's kind of like satoshi dice but with tactics/strategy instead of luck.
I still have plan to learn PhoneGap, GruntJS and Jade ( and ? )
