I don't get the opportunity to work with more experienced people.People working with me is having only 6 months to 1 year experience more than i have.I try to learn from them but i cant enough from them in the time being.I have to research a lot for keeping new things in my code.And it is taking more time It is done first time no actual help is got from Google for all the things.Somethings are stuck for eternity and try to do it in the old way.I am trying to improve myself.Can you guys give me some tips which can be done by less effort as i am having enough work to do.(ASP.NET,Jquery,Javascript,C#,HTML,CSS,SQL SERVER 2008)

The difference between the a new techie and the experience is the way they code. Its not about learning new things but about how redundant they code. So, lesser code with more results is what a experience person does.

Thanks.I didn't thought that way.But a experience hand can help us solve situations easier than we try it ourselves.

Yes this is also the fact that experienced one can solve problems quickly and easily, but entirely depends on the problem. Smile | :)

Sorry, no. It doesn't matter if you've enough work to do.

If you want to do what you're asking for, you've to put in a lot of efforts. Read, read, read, write code, repeat. Invest in a lot of books, and find the time to read them several times. Alongside, practise what you learn. If you're OK with reading on a Kindle or PC, you'll, be able to find books a lot cheaper (safari books library, pluralsiight, ebooks for kindle, etc).

There's no short cut to improving your knowledge.

yeah.But we should try if there is one.As we repeat the codes make it short by refine it.Change bad codes etc.If we do a long thing short then it can be said as shortcut.

I don't think there is. At least not while the matrix knowledge injection is not invented.

Laiju k wrote:

Shortcuts can hold traps and are not necessarily better paths. Like our friend already said, read books, study experienced people codes (open source projects are a good way to do that) and code, repeat.

You can't improve a piece of code if you don't know it can be improved.

One way that I learned a lot was while I was contributing in forums and helping people find answers. I helped others while learning as I did not know the answer for all the questions.

Regardless of what others might imply, I don't think there's any substitute for working with a mature, experienced team. I spent my first 5 years as a programmer reading forums and volunteering on open source products and even writing CodeProject articles! I thought I was hot stuff, until I joined a new organization and got paired up with some highly experienced engineers. They spent hours sharing their desktops and explaining in great detail why they wanted certain patterns and how to write enterprise grade code.

In summary, I learned more from this group of experts in a few months time than I had learned in total, on my own, over the previous five years. The moral of the story, get yourself on an experienced development team or find a great mentor. Going it alone with nothing but Google and StackOverflow.com on your side can only result in a poor outcome.

I agree with you...

I think there are two kind of people here...
- The ones that can better learn just doing stand alone research.
- The ones that can better learn when pairing with experienced ones, going to war...

I'm more of the 2nd type, I read, I research, yes, but if I'm not in a project that requires what I just read, I will go to a very dark place into my brain... unless I find a way to use it (have a project) I will then never try it.. ok I will have it in my memory, so in a future project I could recall it, use it then real learn it... there is where I love to work in good teams, when you are working together with experienced people you will learn crazy and useful secrets that you will just not notice in a book. (normally you could learn everything in a project or work in around 2-3 years, if the project is not good enough or too simple you will notice you get bored... time to something new)

My best recommendation is: try to join an external project, just for education, that will help you, you will have a better reason to research and learn that just reading (normally I forgot what I read 2 pages ago...) plus contacting other people in the project will help (open source project, with good forums are good)

I like that,if we don't go with experience we will be getting killed early else we can survive a little more experience more things.

It also happens a lot.Sometimes we will be using outdated technologies in our project just simply maintaining the old one.

That was a good tip.I will surely try.I also forget what i read after a day or two.If we don't use a tip,trick that is even a line of code.we don't remember it.by regular usage only it will set in our mind so we can reuse it after a long time also.

Thanks.I think like you have told.I know by working with a experience team is a great aid to our carrer.we can study a lot from them in months than we gain by ourselves in years.As we all years of experience what enhance our carrer.If our experience is only in years but no actual experience compared to years we work we have to struggle a lot.

There's your mistake!

Keep abreast of emerging trends and topics, but don't research things for the sake of getting new things into your code. If you know a way of doing it and that way works without problem, and you're not immediately aware of a better (more efficient, easier to maintain) way of doing it, then benefit from your own experience, and do it the way you know how.

That way your code base will be consistent.

Then, when you come across a problem you don't know how to solve - or believe there may be a better way of solving, spend some time investigating that and decide if the advantages are worth the time spent learning the new technique.

In short

new != better // Not all of the time

Well, it won't work this way. But you are asking this on CodeProject - the home of thousands of great articles and tips by the legends. Simply search what you want to learn and you have it right here! Smile | :)

Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Some people are lucky to work with really experienced and good programmers, early on in their career. However, I feel this is not the case in more than half of the cases.

1. Continuously learn; do not stop learning. Some years ago, I came across this site Stanford Engineering Everywhere[^], where there are three courses - Methodology, Abstractions and Paradigms. Go in the order stated there. While you listen to the lectures there, visit cs106a[^] and cs106b[^] for the latest software updates / downloads. These do not teach you the programming languages you mention, but they do teach you how to solve problems using computers.

2. Remember that there is no "instant success". You'll need at least ten years[^].

Addendum:
Got reminded of a quote I had seen back in 1993 in Bengaluru, India.
"Good judgement comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgement".

We can learn new methods,tips,tricks like that from experienced colleagues else we had to struggle a lot to even reach a certain level,real and continuous hardwork is needed for that.
