Ask HN: What should I learn right now to keep my programming skills current?

13 pointsby barceover 9 years ago
I just had my review and for the first time in a few years, I got 100% of my bonus. Learning Webpack and React helped a bit as well as getting more stuff done at the beginning of a sprint instead of the end. To keep my programming skills up to date, what else should I learn right now?

You should learn how to monetize your skills and avoid being judged or scored by any employer. Your bonus could be much higher.

If you haven&#x27;t done much on the backend (databases, web servers, server-side web frameworks, etc.), then taking some time to familiarize yourself with what is going on there might be worth it. Even if you don&#x27;t end up doing any work on the backend, you will have a better understanding of what is going on. I would start with the technologies in use at your current company.<p>Edit: clarification

Tools are temporary, foundations are timeless.

You might be already doing this with your React&#x2F;Webpack, but picking up some ES6 might be a good thing to do.<p>I&#x27;ve slowly been adding some ES6 into my code and there are some really nice things.

I concur with TurboHaskai, stop worrying about the next hot thing, focus on building solid applications that are flexible, maintaining, user friendly and solves a business problem.

Swift -- but not just on client side, Swift on server side.

Functional Programming.<p>The language does&#x27;t matter but learning the concepts challenges you to think in different terms.
