Ask HN: What to do to dramatically improve your programming skills in 3 months?
2 points by chriscls 3316 days ago
If you had 3 months and basic-intermediate programming skills, what would you do level up and how would you measure your progress? I'm looking to build a learning routine into my day to day and interested to hear what great programmers would advise. Thanks!

What's your goal? skills for skills sake? become expert in specific technology? better job? promotion?
To be more employable/skillful/wellrounded and structured in my approach to learning. I'm developing for VR in C# and C++ and finding that I want to get myself on a dedicated learning path to get more of a broad skillset versus what I happen to run into through my work.
exercism.io, do all the exercises in the language of your choice. I recomend Ruby and Kotlin first. But, it is like running, you need stamina and focus. Learn developing by testing while you are at it.
Interesting, thank you!
