Becoming A Better Developer
The Subtle Path To Enlightenment
So you want to become a better developer? No matter what your current status is, this guide will give you a few tips to help you improve, shown in bold.
Now, instead of a bland set of recommendations we have all read 1000 times by now, I will try to make original points backed by data, or at least by my own experience.
I will include my personal experiences in colored boxes like this one, quite often extracted from my current company.
Contents
This series started life as a looong article, so I have divided it into four parts, from less to more experienced.
- Part 1: Start Me Up.
- Part 2: Advice For The Novice.
- Part 3: Get Ahead Of The Curve.
- Part 4: Top Of The Cream Of The Crop.
TL;DR
If you want a quick fix, take a look at my presentation for Developers.nl.
