And hence somebody became a Expert Developer!!!

Generally, it takes lot of efforts to be into a Elite category of developers. Yes, everything comes from experience, experiments, lot of practice, lot of learning, knowledge sharing, etc etc... But I would like to know what's the main turning point in your life when you felt that you are almost a legend developer or you are close to be called an expert. What it has taken you to reach that great level? What were your unique style of learning, experimenting, role models, best practices that have helped you a lot to become an expert? Your inputs will be of highly importance to me and might help me and others to become a better developer. I always feel happy to be a part of a great developer Community:- CodeProject. Thanks all in advance.

I'll let you know if it happens. Don't hold your breath though.

Can you please explain this sentence. :confused:

I am not yet an expert, but have some experience (20 years about). I did mostly "Learning by doing", attended some classes (mostly Microsoft courses, there was one from IBM for the DB2 system).
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...
Thanks. Glad to have your inputs.

sure you need that + all sort of hacks to give you straight access to prod environments + the necessary dose of craziness to run large updates outside of any transaction

Thanks Pete. That's the spirit of learning and growing! But in this process of becoming expert, can you please highlight some important points.
I can do better than that. I can point you to the sage advice of people who've been doing this a while. Have a read of the articles in this[^] section.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

Yeah my mistake i placed fringe instead of fridge. I guess i am not a morning person, i didn't know that word few moments before....
And you probably meant "freezer" anyway: a "fridge" should be between 3C and 5C, which isn't good for ice cream. :laugh:

It's an idiom. It means you'll be waiting a long time/it'll probably never happen (i.e. if you hold you breath whilst waiting for it to happen, you'll suffocate before it does).

Okay. But I'm not waiting to become expert. I just want to keep learning & practising and in this process I want to make sure that whatever I'm doing/following is correct/up to mark or are there any better approaches, ways, and thoughts/opinions from experts.

Sorry, we are speaking at crossed purposes. You basically asked what does it take to be a great developer. My original reply meant "It'll let you know when it happens (to me), but you'll be waiting a long time (probably forever)."

Ok, its fine Keith. I'm glad that you are responding to my comments. Thanks.

Not sure if understand what this means but I still take a shot. That's just me with a lot more attractive personality which does not exist due alcohol deficiency in the body.
