Becoming a Better Developer
Posted by Mike on May 20, 2008
I was searching the other day on how to become a better developer and came across the following series of articles. I really liked how each part encourages the developer to examine different facets of their job. Part 11 might work, if you like “boughten” massages.
- Part 1: Making Fans
- Part 2: Know Your Core Competencies
- Part 3: Enjoy the Panorama
- Part 4: Know What You’re Building
- Part 5: Don’t Use a Dull Knife
- Part 6: Become a Manager
- Part 7: The Jigsaw Puzzle
- Part 8: Know Your Archetype
- Part 9: How to Criticize a Software Developer Without Getting Punched
- Part 10: What Do Your Colleagues Think of You?
- Part 11: Get a Massage (and Get Your Boss to Pay For It)
If you are a software developer, I think it is worthwhile to read one part each day and reflect on it. It just might help you become a better one!
