Thoughts, rants and commentary from a husband, father of five and professional web geek

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!
