Listen "64: Practicing Programming to increase your value"
Episode Synopsis
I want you to get the most out of being a software developer, or test engineer, or whatever you do that makes this podcast relevant to your life.
By "get the most" I mean:
the most fun
the most value
more career options
probably more responsibility
maybe even more money, that'd be cool
I want you to start (or continue) studying and practicing your skills.
But not just random practice, I've got a strategy to help you focus what to study.
Why am I talking about this now? Here's some background on how I re-learned how to have fun with code refactoring through code challenges.
I'm going to write up the whole list as a blog post, which I'll share first with my Patreon Supporters, second with my email list and slack channel and then as an actual post somewhere.Links:practicing-programming - Steve Yegge — essayThe Ultimate Code Kata - Jeff AtwoodTeach Yourself Programming in Ten Years - Peter NorvigPyBites Code Challenges — Hone your Python Skills, in the browserCheckiO — JavaScript & Python challengesExercism — code practiceCodewars — Train with Programming Challenges/Kata Python Morsels — Challenges emailed to you once a weeksubreddit of code challenges
