Hi ... I am new to a software company after my b.tec.... :laugh: Can i any help me to know how to be a good developer ??:confused: I am using .net framework now ...!! :-\ can anyone tell me about the latest technology in it ?? and how can i improve my Career in software developing ?:confused:

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!)

Software Development means solving a problem by using languages/tools/technology not learning something. Learn the languages/tools/technology if you need to solve those problem. Have a nice career ahead! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

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.

You need three most important things to be software developer any company will try to hold after you've worked there for a while. 1. Errors (the most important) - Usual user does not handle errors, it just says it doesn't work. You should be able to understand the error, find its source, reason and the idea what developer written that code were trying to do, especially when you are working on someone else code (even from different company). Keeping developer's idea, keep the software architecture unchanged, making handling error easier, faster and cheaper for your boss. 2. Theory - yeah, theory. That stuff you learn at university. Most of us say it doesn't help. Computer theory is just a bunch of rules trying to say what can be done and cannot be done in computers. Also complexity analysis trying to say what is the best way (faster or with minimal memory usage, etc.) to do something. The theory is trying to be general. That means if theory says something is better than other, no language will make it different. Due to generality theory usually says so less. But understanding the language theory will make you able to learn any language practically in a matter of days (or hours). 3. Intuition - a lot of people develop, but only few have intuition. Thrust your intuition. If you feel something is wrong and you should not write it that way - most probably it is true. Intuition is part of the subconsciousness and you can't access subconscious. That doesn't mean subconscious can access your consciousness, meaning your intuition is as smart as you are (it knows everything you know). If you feel something is wrong, then probably your subconsciousness noted a problem, which you didn't see, yet. How to gain intuition? Code. Code at work, code at home, code on holidays. Never stop coding. Doing to so often will make coding a reflex - something you can do, while do other stuff. And reflexes are part of your subconsciousness. Every time you code is just a training for the brain.
