Nice article, and some good points.
I&...Hey chet,<br /><br />Nice article, and some good points.<br /><br />I'd add a couple of subpoints to "Read" : <br />- social media - I've found blogs (reading & writing) and twitter are just amazing. You get to interact with real experts and others who are passionate about the topic.<br />- Learn to manage your reading time. I've still not managed to do this! It's easy to skim the top of an RSS feed list and twitter list each day, but the time may be better spent reading a chapter from a book or the product documentation. Getting a balance between the sources is important IMHO.<br /><br />Other things: <br />- Make Mistakes - learn from them and don't try to cover them up<br />- Enjoy sharing knowledge with people, don't horde it. Do presentations, write a blog, tutor someone. Take pride in being an expert, but don't be an asshole with it. <br />- Maybe another way of saying 'Experiment', but : Be curious. Don't be satisfied with just meeting requirements. Have an urge to find out "wouldn't it be cool if ... ". You'd be surprised how many "real" problems can be solved so much sooner through the in-depth knowledge that you accrue through hacking and tweaking and poking around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
