One of my favorite developer sites is DevX.com. A recent editorial by A. Russel Jones caught my interest and I'd like to share it with you! The article touches on the eternal subject of learning. By first having brought up 10 key technologies to stay on top of, Russel addresses how to learn them. The 10 technologies identified by Russel are:
#1: XML
#2: Web Services
#3: Object-Oriented Programming
#4: Java, C++, C#, and VB.NET
#5: JavaScript
#6: Regular Expressions
#7: Design Patterns
#8: Flash MX
#9: Linux/Windows
#10: SQL
Yes, I agree. We would like to see some sort of "mobile" reference to this list but as we move forward I am convinced "mobile" will become an integral part of all key technologies and vice versa. Russel writes: "When we told our readers what technologies they needed to learn, they told us: easier said than done. While that's true, there is an approach to learning that can make it easier. With the right attitude and some essential resources, you'll be on your way slowly but surely."
As professionals in the fast IT industry we have to constantly rethink, relearn and redo. How do you do it?
