Review other people's code and have other people review yours. When I started my first job I hardly knew anything about C# and I learned enough by myself to get me through. However, once I got the chance to look at another developer's code and style, I quickly picked up on a lot of his ideas and implemented them in ways that suited my portion of the project. Everyone, at least almost everyone, believes they write the cleanest and most efficient code possible; for them, it may be the cleanest and most efficient they know how to make it. However, there is always someone who can look at your code and see where improvements could be made.

If you review someone else's code, it's easy to change your code to reflect new/better ideas you may find. If someone else reviews yours, it may help them, but it makes your code vulnerable to criticism - just don't take it personally.

I live in Pennsylvania. I don't need to be a great developer. I just need to be better than the Amish. Seriously though, I don't get too deep into code because I'm asked to do design, networking, marketing, database administration, etc. I could probably get more out of studying database design than I could from any of your recommendations.

Hi Denny, I second that.

Just notice that this post is an addition to Rodrigo's post (squad.devworx.com.mx/.../how-to-be-a-better-developer.aspx) where he already mentioned reading books and blogs.

Cheers,

An obvious one: Read! In particular books. Don't like to sit down and read a hardcover book? Browse for bloggers. Most of the time you can find bloggers who dedicate themselves to a certain subject matter. It's a great way to learn new technology as well as tips.
