My advice would be to work on debugging. It's where I struggled most early on in my first job, and where our current intern is weakest (despite being really good overall). If you're working on a large system and haven't worked with one, you're going to end up lost a lot. Debugging a complex web app is very different than debugging an algorithm. Here is a blog post that discusses the topic and links to four books on the topic. David Agans' _Debugging_ ended up helping me quite a bit. A second point I'd make is to learn the idea of refactoring as a systematic process. Early on, I wanted to refactor everything, but didn't know how to refactor safely and methodically. Martin Fowler's refactoring book is not exciting, but it gets the message across that refactoring is not just "changing stuff to make it better" but a process. |
