Whether programming ability or learning ability is important has always been a difficult problem for enterprises.
Whether you need an experienced driver who can solve problems immediately or someone with unlimited potential in the future can be a real headache. But Google’s CEO has an answer.
That’s continuous learning.
I recently read an article by Google CEO Sundar Pichai on NBCNews about the idea that more important than the ability to work is the ability to learn.
“One of the first words that comes to mind when IT comes to boosting productivity and pursuing jobs in IT is’ programming, ‘” Pichai says. In the past decade, almost all programs on technical skills have focused on computer science, especially programs for young students. But the overemphasis on programming in the tech industry also creates potential opportunities for other skills.”
“The less technology-intensive, mid-level jobs are going to become obsolete,” he says. “You need to keep a sharp attitude and training and learning throughout your career to keep up.
I once asked a technical friend what he valued most when recruiting programmers, and he told me specifically that it was learning ability. If there is not a programmer who is not learning, then there is a definite rejection of the door.
Because in the era of high-speed Internet, technology updates in real time, new and old, even once for the hegemony of FLASH technology, now has been abandoned. Nowadays, AI is in the ascendant and blockchain is hot. These technologies, which were once far away from us, have come one by one. Smart home, 5G network and unmanned driving have been imagined and applied in just a few decades. In the era of mobile Internet outbreak, how many traditional companies were shot dead before they had time to transform, which is enough to predict the importance of learning power to the Internet and technical people. Imagine if the skills you have mastered for many years become useless overnight, and you will inevitably feel like you are “living alone with your arms cut off”.
I am them and they are us
Think back to when you made the most technical progress. If it is not surprising, it is probably in the stage of just entering the work! Because I don’t want to lose the job opportunity I got through my own efforts, I work harder and learn from many ways to master skills at a very fast speed and adapt to work.
But when do we stop learning? Probably because our skills are already sufficient for our current job, we gradually lose our ability to learn. We console ourselves: Why do we need to learn? Do not learn also may not be unemployed, learn and may not be used on! Save it for when you need it!
Another programmer friend of the author, Xiao A, is busy tapping the code every day, from programming development to Bug modification, he thinks he can do anything. However, not long ago, he contacted his old classmate and heard that his old classmate already had an annual salary of 500,000 yuan. After dinner, he began to send resumes widely, trying to use the new opportunity to realize the law of the Internet: job-changing increases three times.
However, Mr. A never expected that when the interviewer gently told him about the new technology he had heard so many times, he only felt helpless. These questions were familiar but could not answer to the point. So he panics, and you put it down to not having prepared properly. (The truth is, he had already memorized the interview questions from all the companies online.)
After he met several people, he began to do the interview review, during which he came to the conclusion that he was too busy with his own things and forgot the continuous update of technology, he had not read for a long time. Many new technologies are only heard about but never learned about, which is undoubtedly a disadvantage for the Internet, where technology updates rapidly.
I believe the story of Mr. A can bring some inspiration and reflection. Your past attitude and ability to learn determine who you are now, and your present ability to learn determines who you will be in the future.
So how do techies learn?
Seize every opportunity to practice in the company, look at the source code, consult colleagues;
In free time, see documents, read books, see daniu blog, see teaching materials;
Follow the drill line by line in the video tutorial and think about each step in the book……
No matter which way to take, as long as you have dynamics, want to learn, then start to carry out a reasonable planning, with thinking and learning goals, must be right, maybe you do not apply these technologies now, but in the future, these must be your super-imposed sub-items.
It’s never too late to have an idea, and as it’s the middle of the year, I suggest you review the first half of 2018 and start planning for the second half. Because every time you go to the midpoint, the end point, there should be a sense of ritual.
This year, CSDN Institute collected the course selection and evaluation information of nearly 10,000 students in the first half of the year, and produced the “2018 Mid-year IT Course Learning List”, hoping to become your best partner on the way to study.
Why do you recommend this list?
Because this is a carefully selected list, based on the evaluations of tens of thousands of CSDN students, it ensures that:
Easy to learn. The lecture is divided into chapters and the length is controlled at about 10-60 minutes. The method is step-by-step to avoid the pressure of studying for a long time every day.
Will learn. Most of the teachers are professors, experts and technical directors of famous enterprises, etc., who pay attention to the polishing of the curriculum. For a good 20-hour class, it takes 200 hours to go from behind the scenes to the front. Praise is not mechanical piling up, but solid feelings.
To use. The practical course that IT people need to learn most is the practical course. This list covers many fields of practical lessons, so that the knowledge you learn can be fully used in your daily work.
High yield. One of the list is “2018 Mid-quality Frontier Classes”, you can check the most cutting-edge classes, which can help you seize the dividends of the industry, learn such courses, and help you quickly change careers and enter high-paying industries, such as artificial intelligence. Ai’s place in the IT industry is obvious, and the salary is enough to empty your shopping cart and your goddess’s
Finally, I quote Mr. Hu Shi:
“Fear what truth is infinite, into an inch of joy.”
Don’t worry that life is short, knowledge is long.
Every little progress through learning will make our life full of joy.
