Well, I don't know how advanced I am (except in age). But I have found the best advanced training is the same as it was in college. No book makes up for the late night hours. I find other projects and offer to help -- there's always a shortage of coding labor (especially if it's free). You learn what the book or course never discusses -- things like "What the heck was the person trying to do here?" and "Even God doesn't know how this code works!" You know you're in trouble when you see "Oh God! What an evil hack! But it works... don't touch anything!" or "Good luck future Matt! You KNEW this was a horrible job, but did you come back in time and stop me?"
