Be a Better Developer

Michael Wood gave a great session “Be a Better Developer” last night at the .Net User Group.  The room at the Duthie Center for Engineering was full of attention, listening, and questions. 

Michael’s blog has the elements – but listening and interacting with such topics as:

  • Stop being a Code Monkey
  • Being a Student
  • Being a Janitor
  • Being a Researcher
  • Begin a Plumber

was informative for many roles.  One topic that was covered -  I find myself and others asking - “Should I be a generalist or specialize in a given area?”  Like I found on my trail to research, I must go deep into a subject – there I do what only I can do – and I provide value.   

Michael – Thank You for sharing!  Read more at his blog: http://mvwood.com/blog/beabetterdev.
