Thinking of learning something new in 2013?

But what?

I work as a software developer and tend to get involved in a lot of different technologies - scripting, Java, C++, DBs...

Looking to learn something new, useful and interesting just for fun over the next year? That's a long time so something difficult or complicated is fine, would be good to have a project or something to show for it at the end as well.

Anyone do anything similar? Or have any ideas I could learn?

I'd recommend "Seven languages in seven weeks" as a good read.

I'm definitely going to get this book and work through some of it, seems really interesting having had a quick look at it. Thanks for the recommendation.

I now also have a project to do a friends website - he is a wedding photographer. So will give me a good chance to get all those skills up to a decent, up to date standard!
