        Practice. Forget "latest technology" for a while, and concentrate on getting experience in the basics of what you are employed to do. A university education does not teach you how to code in the real world: so take the time to learn and get experience. Then when you are ready start looking at other technologies, but get some firm groundwork under you first - a year or so at least, and listen when people who have been doing it for year talk. Let's face it: in a year or so all the "latest technologies" will have been supplanted by the new "latest thing" anyway! :laugh:

                      By using fewer smileys and less punctuation, you may not improve your development skills, but you will appear to others to be less of a 14 year-old and possibly be taken more seriously.

                      Ask questions. specific ones. If you are working somewhere where you do code reviews, listen to advice, and try to understand why changes are being made. If not, learn from other people's code. If you don't understand it, ask. don't be embarrassed if you don't know something, or aren't sure of the best way to do something. Most developers will be pleased to offer their advice (but try to make sure you're asking the right sort of developer!)

                                I'd have to disagree with that. Software development is a process, a way of thinking that is implemented in languages, using tools and technologies. To a huge extent, the languages/tools/technology is irrelevant and can easily be replaced. You can be as proficient as possible in using the tools (such as VS, SSMS, et al.) but be incapable of producing good software unless you have the thinking part down pat.

                                      As my brother says, the "secret" of getting good at anything is Time on Task. I agree with the observation that it takes 10,000 hours--five to seven years of full time work--to become expert as something, which is why I don't trust most developers who know "every" language and technology. BTW, the single biggest problem I see with developers is that they don't understand--truly understand--what the code is really doing. One way to help that is to step through the code with a debugger and really pay attention to what's going on.

                                        And therein lies the problem: You don't generally know which sort you are asking until it's too late! :laugh:

                                        You're asking the right sort of developer if the answer they give is "let's talk about it over a pint"
