How to improve your developer skills in 2023

Hello again. I have come back to write a new article after a long time.
The year has just begun, and every new year we promise to improve our skills or new developers start their journey.
So I decided to write some tips for you to do that.

Create your roadmap.

If you search for a development roadmap, you will probably see this.
It will help you to know macro knowledge about front-end and back-end. I would suggest looking for your current position and creating a roadmap. For example, I already know about javascript, CSS, HTML, and React, but I've never studied unit tests.

So I create a list to learn the unity test

• [ ] What is a unity test?
• [ ] Libraries for unity test:
  • [ ] Jest
  • [ ] React Testing Library
  • [ ] Cypress

Practice

I know studying the core and theories is very important. But practice is also necessary.
After reading articles, documents, and books about the unity test, It's time to get your hands dirty. You can create a new project or you can apply this knowledge to an existing project. If you haven't an idea or an existing project, you can get an idea from this link with many front-end challenges.

You learn more when you teach.

The time has come to validate the learning. Try to teach someone.

You can create a Youtube Channel or Twitch Live. You can also create articles like me. Another good way to practice would be to give talks and share your learning with friends before speaking at an event.
Or keep it simple, write about your learning on LinkedIn and ask people if they have any questions.

Just do it.

I promise you, if you follow these tips, by the end of the year, your knowledge will be improved considerably.
That's all for today. What about you, any advice? Share with us! Suggestions are always welcome.

Bye, see you next time.
