1/ For the last 2 years, I've been doing a two-week 'coding vacation' in December. Could use some creative input for the 2016 iteration.

2/ In 2014, 2-wk project was to get to hello world in a handful of production techs (got there with AWS, Digital Ocean, Heroku, js)

3/ In 2015, I was still feeling burned by annoyance of prod techs, so I retreated to my Matlab playpen and wrote a fun "fake word generator"

5/ One is a personality test. The other is a kinda toy 'psychohistory' simulator of world history.

6/ So Q: how should the 2-week vacation (NOT full time, maybe 48h total) be structured so I get to production *including learning curve*

Uh, what do you mean "structured"? You just code, interrupted by sleep, work and other nuisances.

. In 2014, I ended up all 2 wks just trying to get to deployed 'hello world 'in RoR, Py, Node; failing to get anything off laptop

That's why you have initial code templates - to get into whatever the idea comes along without being bogged down with setup grind.

I think you have no idea how much you know/take for granted, and how little others know...

I forget, did you try heroku or something like that?

I did. Got to a python hello world in heroku. Didn't like the model. Felt awkward.
