One of the easily recognized ways to become a better developer is the act of learning development languages. We all know that new tools show up regularly and force us to add new skills or become obsolete. Although it is important to add new skills due to technological advancements, there are also existing tools that we need to learn.
Create a Roadmap
A task of this scale needs a plan. That will make it easier to track progress and find paths that achieve the goal with the most efficiency. Learning development languages is a task that can be greatly improved by looking at similarities between them. There is also a financial benefit to mapping out new skills that are in high demand or stepping stones to higher-paying positions.
We have spent decades advancing skills and learning new languages. In looking back on those achievements, the best periods of growth were related to investing time in a roadmap. This allowed us to combine efforts at times and be aware of decisions that helped them. This included job and role decisions to advance our career rather than “settle in” to our skillset at the time.
This series comes from our mentoring/mastermind classes. These classes are virtual meetings that focus on how to improve our technical skills and build our businesses. The goals of each member vary. However, this diversity makes for great discussions and a ton of educational value every time we meet. We hope you enjoy viewing this series as much as we enjoy creating it. As always, this may not be all new to you, but we hope it helps you be a better developer. Drop us a line to find out when the next one is so you can join our group.
