- Learning more than one programming languages,perferable many different style ones, like scripting, object-oriented,functional, logic,etc. Learning languages teaches you many about programming .
- Read good bools, for example, "Pragmatic Programmers","Refactoring", and "Art of Computer Science".
- Read the source code. The source code is the source of information and knowledge. Thanks to the opensource.
- Don't focus too much on tool. Tools changes. Algorithms and basic fundamentals don't.
- Don't focus too much on machines. Programmers often fall in the computer's view points. But human make programs,programs server human. Don't forget that programming is a human oriented activity.
- Be lazy.Machines should be server human beings. Often programmers serve machines unconsciously. Let machines serve you. Do everything you can do to make you lazy.
- Tset early,test often. Write test suits before you code, if possible.
- Be nice to others. Consider interface first, man to man, man to machines, machines to machines. Again,remember, human factor is important.
- Be creative.
- Enjoy programming and life. I believe that is one of the purpose of life
