For most software developers, professional growth is necessary for a healthy career.
According to data crunched by Triplebyte, “opportunity for professional growth” is the top motivator for software developers.
One of the key factors for professional growth is the ability to learn multiple languages, platforms and frameworks.
Moreover, after a few years, programming skills aren’t the only priority. Learning to collaborate and effectively communicate become equally important for professional growth.
Collaborative & well-communicative developers familiar with variety of systems, frameworks & platforms become indispensable.
The need for continuous learning never stops for a software developer.
The challenge
On one hand, technology companies struggle to keeping employees up-to-date on their skills in a rapidly-changing field.
On the other hand, employees keep worrying they don’t know the next technology, or that the technology is moving faster than they can keep up.
Abundant, but still challenging
There are abundant online services like Udemy, Coursera and YouTube for learning new coding languages and skills. But —
What if you’re busy? How can you keep up with the ever evolving concepts, frameworks and technologies?
What if you’re not busy? How do you overcome the difficulty with finding time to sit down and use those resources independently?
The handbook
The handbook explores what the latest science shows are the most efficient ways to learn and remember.
It is primarily for intermediate-level software developers, but there’s plenty of science-backed advice for beginners and seniors too.
Research backed
Throughout the handbook, I support the methods and techniques mentioned by citing studies that show they work.
I will also show you how to measure your progress so you can confirm you’ve grown in learning.
In addition to citing research, this handbook is also comprehensive. I won’t be providing 80% of what you need to know and then leave you a bunch of questions.
What you’ll learn
- How to — list of techniques —
- The most effective of them all — techniques — when you use what
- Measuring how much you have learned
- Overcoming plateaus
The handbook will walk you through how you can learn a new language / platform / framework in short time.
And yes, you can learn while working. You don’t have to dedicate full days or complete weeks.
Excited? Good. If you’re willing to spend a few hours a week learning, my handbook will help you get results.
Oh, one last thing, I have nothing to sell you. This handbook is free. There’s no promotion either.
