Learning there is more to learn
Posted on April 18th, 2008 in Geek Stuff, Web Development | No Comments »
After a very humbling experience the other I have decided that there is going to be more learning needed in my programming life. Learning is how I got to where I am today, and the only way for me to advance as a programmer is to continue to learn.
To that end I am now going to be moving head long into learning:
- Unit testing (seriously, this should have been handled years ago)
- Scaling
- Internals (Apache, PHP and MySQL)
- Logic (a programmer’s logic, not just scripting)
- Architecture
- Design Patterns (and more patterns)
I am starting with Unit Testing because that should be something that all programmer’s do. Period.
The rest are things that top tier web programmers should know.
Plain and simple, I do not have the knowledge to call myself a programmer. At least I don’t feel that I do.
But I will. Very soon
So let the learning begin!
