Continuous Professional Evolvement

The software development domain continuously evolves. The growing number of programming languages and the emergence of new platforms, frameworks, and libraries force us to put more and more resources into our self-professional evolvement. We are forced to find new ways to improve our self-learning capabilities and speed up our professional evolvement. Software developers who are not aware of the necessity for a continuous professional evolvement will most likely find themselves… one day… without the required skills, and as a result, will lose their jobs. I strongly recommend every software developer to dedicate at least half a day (every week) for learning new emerging technologies, including new platforms, new programming languages, new frameworks, and new libraries. Unless you continuously evolve you might damage your learning capabilities and in addition become outdated.
