Programmers want to be more successful? This method is the key-the programmer, programming-IT information
The original title the key to become a better programmer: more reading, IT information Edit modify, as appropriate.
Although I have been enjoying reading, but I was always difficult to find the time to read. Really free, I usually go to reading novels, autobiographies, or some quirks but it is interesting stuff. On my Kindle e-book reader to date are some of my favorite techniques. I still find it incredible that, by a small device I can carry around a library, as long as the battery life for some time (for example, one month).
But I read on the technology's really lacking. Of course, I've also read the classics, such as the Clean Code, but that's about all. I've always been a "what's wrong with Google" people. Technical book is too boring! So I usually avoid reading reference books.
Until about 8 months ago. I plan to travel around the time the last few weeks of the year (I'm from Peru to Bolivia this article written on the bus), because the task is basically finished, so I have more free time than usual, so I decided to take the time to read something. We have a Safari Books Online subscription, which basically allowed us to have unlimited access to all programming books already written, then it all changed.
Turns out, you got the material from the Internet and the quality of work was not that good. Most of the works were an isolated fragment of a "how to do x". No story line can make you think how to yourself to make yourself better. In the process of writing a book, you must have good clues, must go through editor review, and other technicians carefully examined, in the works before the advent of quality as much as possible.
This also proves that most of the book is not so boring! Of course there is no denying that some slack, but a quick look at ratings and evaluation should help you sift. Most books is quite interesting and fun. This is a fascinating way of learning.
The biggest change for me is that I really think I'm taking the time to read, for example, understand a book a month and become a better developer. I've read about micro-content, feel better able to know what he's talking about now, and I know I can go back and refer to, when every time I need help. By taking the time to sit down and read textbooks in Clojure, even if it's just to learn the basics, also helps me to further talk about functional languages, and where better for Clojure. The 7 Concurrency Models in 7 weeks is a very enlightening work, especially as a Java developer and want to use a different approach to multi-threaded programming (inherent flaws in Java).
Of course, most of the information in these books might be somewhere on the Internet as well. However, unless the specific information you need, otherwise you would not have thought of going online to search and read or get information about surrounding. Select read to you from a passive way of learning (only when needed to gain information) into active learning methods (in the reading process, you will receive a variety of information previously not seen). This is very important, especially for career development.
Continuous learning is the most important professional tools . Especially in this business, because it is constantly changing: new languages, new paradigms, new frameworks is always a head. Due to too many knee can't always is maintain our edge. As a developer you can dedicate yourself, working during the day and night reading and programming, but you can't have all.
Fortunately no one expected . However, I often see developers, especially primary developer, in the face of daunting tasks, but restored to a passive mode of learning. They do not seek to learn new things, unless someone (such as team leader) introduce new content. Only when necessary. It is for developers to keep mediocre "good" approach.
Learning take many forms . It is important to choose your favorite theme, then at least take a little time to study. From now on: choosing a textbook, set this month reading goals for yourself. Don't know what to read? OK, I'll recommend you:

程序员想更成功？这个方法最关键 -
程序员,编程 - IT资讯
原标题《成为更优秀程序员的关键：更多的阅读》，IT资讯编辑酌情修改。
虽然我一直以来都很享受于读书，但我总是很难挤出时间来阅读。而当真的空闲了，我通常会去阅读小说、自传，或一些怪癖但有趣的东西。我的Kindle电子书阅读器上到目前为止都是一些我最喜欢的技术。我仍然觉得不可思议的是，通过一个小小的设备我就能随身携带一个图书馆，只要电池能够续航一段时间（例如一个月）。
但是我在技术上的阅读真的很缺乏。当然，我也读过经典名著，例如《Clean Code》，但仅此而已。我一直是一个“有什么问题就谷歌”的人。技术书籍太枯燥乏味了！所以通常我会避开阅读教材参考书。
直到8个月前。在我计划去周游时间一年的最后几星期工作中（我是从秘鲁开往玻利维亚的公交车上写的这篇文章），因为任务基本上完成了，所以我有比平时更多的空闲时间，于是我决定花时间去阅读一些东西。我们公司有一个Safari在线图书订阅，这基本上允许我们无限制地访问所有已经写好的编程书籍，然后一切都改变了。
事实证明，你从互联网上得到的材料和著作的质量并不怎么好。大多数作品只是孤立的一个片段“这里怎么做到X”。没有故事线索能让你思考怎么应用到自己身上让自己变得更优秀。在写书的过程中，你必须得想好线索，必须通过编辑的审阅，并且请其他的技术人员仔细检查，在作品问世之前尽可能地提升质量。
这也证明，大多数书其实没有那么无聊！当然不可否认也有一些滥竽充数的，但快速看一下评分和评价应该会有有助于你去伪存真。书籍大多数还是挺引人入胜和有趣的。这是学习的一种迷人方式。
对我来说最大的变化是，我是真觉得我因为抽出时间来阅读，比方说，一个月吃透一本书，而变成了一个更好的开发人员。我读过有关微服务的内容，感觉现在能够更好地知道自己在谈论什么，并且我知道我可以回去参考一下，每当我需要帮助的时候。通过花时间坐下来涉猎Clojure方面的教材，即使只是学习基础知识，也有助于我能够更深入地谈论函数式语言，以及Clojure用到哪里更好。《7 Concurrency Models in 7 weeks》是一部很有启发性的作品，特别是作为一个Java开发人员，想要用不同的方法来多线程编程（Java中固有的缺陷）的话。
当然，大部分这些书籍中的信息可能在网上的某个地方也有。但是，除非你需要特定的信息，否则你就不会想到要去网上搜索和阅读，也不会得到周边的相关信息。选择看书可以将你从被动的学习方式（只在需要的时候去获取信息）转变为主动的学习方式（在阅读的过程中，你会接收到各种不同的以前没有见到过的信息）。这非常重要，尤其是对职业发展。
最重要的职业工具是持续的学习。特别是我们这一行，因为一切总是在不断的变化：新的语言，新的范式，新的框架总是不断地冒头。由于数量太多用膝盖想想也不可能总是保持优势。你可以作为一个开发者奉献自己，白天工作，然后晚上阅读和编程，但是你依然不可能掌握所有。
幸运的是没有人期待那样。然而，我常常看到开发人员，特别是初级的开发人员，在面对令人气馁的任务时，反而恢复到一种被动的学习模式。他们不求学习新的东西，除非有人（例如团队的领导者）引入一些新的内容。只在必要的时候学习。这是开发人员保持平庸的“好”方法。
学习呈现多种形式。重要的是要选择你喜欢的主题，然后至少花上少许时间来钻研。从现在开始：选择一本教材，给自己设立本月阅读目标。不知道该读什么书？那行，我给你推荐一下：
