Stas Kubasek on Learning New Technologies

I don’t skate where the puck is, I always skate where the puck is going to be
–Wayne Gretzky
the best hockey player.

How about that? That’s a great quote!On a similar note, here is my approach on learning new technologies:

I don’t learn technologies that are popular today, I learn technologies that are going to be popular and widely used in the future.
–Stas Kubasek

What does that mean? That means I always want to stay ahead of the game. I think that’s a pretty good strategy for the future. Strategy to be successful. We’ll see. :-)

I love the idea! - 14 hours agoI put Code Complete #1 over Martin's book because it has "awaken" me as a programmer. But other than that, Martin's book is the best! - 1 day ago@mcory1 First of all, @unclebobmartin is my hero! Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices is my #2. SOLID rules! :) - 1 day ago
