Learning as a Dev

Joshua Lin (@konekoya)

Why learning anyway?

I think we already know that... so

Who is currently learning a new tech or language?

And what is that?

You don't have to keep up with everything because it's impossible to do so
Pay attention to buzzwords (Grid, Vue.js, RX.js). Use Twitter to stay up to date
Deciding what not to learn
Learn things that you're excited about, not because it's HOT 🔥 🔥 🔥
Learn things that you would use in your work or side projects. (Elm)

Consume => Build => Teach => Repeat
Get the best material that you can find
Docs, source code, blog posts, books, Video, pick the one that suits you best
Set up goals and record your progress, and most importantly: have grace for yourself
Take notes if necessary
Learning on a daily basis
