Thank you for this! I’m at the tail end of my first round of 100DaysOfCode after diving into web development, and while I’ve covered a lot in that time, it’s still good to step back and take a meta view of learning and best practices.
Really helpful post. One thing I strongly believe is that try to follow incremental approach like 20DaysOfCode or 30DaysOfCode and after completing it do an analysis to see what has been accomplished, which needs more fixing, learning and do a recovery phase along with the planing for next 20DaysOfCode and 30DaysOfCode.
I work with pedagogies, teach, write curricula, coach, manage, mentor, consult, speak publicly, polemicize, and sometimes work as a full-stack web developer, architect, ontologist, and more.
Came to this article prepared to be infuriated by yet more terrible advice from people who think that because they once learned something, often painfully, then they know how to learn. So much bad advice out there.
So quite delighted to find that your advice is excellent across the board. I would focus more on just-in-time learning and being aware of the cognitive footprint of what you learn, but as secondary advice, yours is spot on. Nice work.
Ali, thank you so much for these tips. You've always inspired me through your podcast and Twitter posts and now I have started reading up on your articles. Thanks, once again!
Just a humble guy who loves IT in general, especially coding and also system administration - unix/linux systems - Sun/Oracle Solaris, various linux distros.
Thank you for this article. I have a 7 month old at home and travel a lot with work so don’t get as much time to learn as I would like. So tip and advice on learning strategies will really help.
