Nowadays, most people wanted to become a developer, and most of the time the people who are becoming developers with the use of the internet or some free resource follows the unstructured strategy or method which consumes lots of time to become a good developer in the end. It’s really important to learn from good developers and have a roadmap that will be good for you. So that’s why I have mentioned below the Top 10 things that every developer should know. After reading and understanding the below things you will be having great knowledge with you and I will make sure that you will automatically do things in a structured manner.
So let’s get started.
Analytical Mindset
An analytical Mindset is a thing that enables you to think in an analytical manner. After reading about analytical manners one question arises why we should think in an analytical manner and whether is it really important for developers, So yes it is highly important to have analytical skills. Let us understand why this is important,
whenever we are working on a particular thing like working on a task that asks me to solve a particular problem, for example, there is a calculator app in which one problem is present i.e when clicking on add button subtraction happens or When clicking on subtracting button addition happens, So, in this case, normal people with free mindset will first understand the problem and they will start doing changes in the function itself which is fine but time-consuming because the function is already implemented, So let see people with an analytical mindset, Analytical mindset people first listen to the problem and understand that problem statement clearly and after they will think in such a manner so that the task will be less time consuming and more quality code will be produced, So for add and subtract issue they will just do the changes in the button instead of that function because when user clicks on add button subtraction happen’s So problem here is that sign placed over add button should be replaced with Subtract. So after doing that for both the button, the problem is solved. So after understanding the difference between the two, I hope you got the difference.

Please note it is not mandatory to solve every single problem but you need to understand why did you choose the wrong answer and after knowing the right answer think what’s the difference between your step and there. Once you will able to understand the pattern I am damn sure you were able to think analytical manner.
Optical Mindset
An optical Mindset is a mindset that enables us to optimize things and consumes only required resources in turn our goal is to decrease the space and time complexity of a program. To have an optical mindset we have to understand two things Datastructures and Algorithms and try to solve as many problems as possible for you within a specific time limit. What happens if you understand Datastructures and Algorithm, There is one thing that should be added in your mind whenever you implement a particular problem then you need to check whether is there any chance of adding data structures into that problem or not, if there is a chance of adding data structure into that problem then add it because data structures enable us to process the data in an efficient manner. for example, in the stack of plates so to access plates only the top plate will be accessible for people because if the user tries to pull the last plate then there is a high chance that all plates will fall down So for implementing this we are using stack data structures which follows last in the first out policy.
Search On Google
Every people search on Google but there is a kind of difference between developers and normal people the difference here is when normal peoples go on Google and start searching for their need they simply type their things and try to get the information according to that but when the developer started searching on Google they simply conclude that and give some direct info or direct keyboard that will return for example learning Java programming is a topic then how the developer and normal user will search that. Let see, so when normal user goes this imply type learn Java programming from start or some kind of similar thing but when the developer goes on Google they simply type the projects related to Java what we can do with Java what are the uses of Java program after learning Java programming what we can do it after that they will first analyse the syllabus and and having some confirmation in the mind that we were able to achieve the goal or not after doing this syllabus of Java so this first thing should be done at start and after that the things come here is to choose a good article for learning Java or good books to learn Java so after there search they will find that to having a complete knowledge of Java there is a book called as the Complete Reference of Java program and after that they will check the length of the book which is very time consuming for them but for the clearance of Concept this book is really helpful for particular topic but to get things faster they will start searching for the book that will give them good knowledge so like that you have to search on Google for your query so every time you need to make things clear in your mind and check that after searching it is your goal is achieved or not.
Find Great Content
Finding great content is a best thing to know but how you will be able to find the great content for anything which we are looking for so there is certain ways which we have to follow to have a great content or to find a great content so first thing we have to clear that whenever we are going to find a content we need to first take some suggestions from seniors because every seniors did mistakes while learning and at the end they will be able to give a good and definite road map to achieve our goal faster but if you don’t have any seniors with you or any elders with you for your needs then search engine will help you for example Google so here in Google if you search for things there is one or more than one websites which will be helping you for deciding great content like if you search things on Google mainly there are two websites which have their suggestions from a bigger once like seniors for example stack overflow and Quora these websites are solving queries of peoples who are beginners in their field or suffering from a problem for example you got an error while solving or writing Java program so you can directly search that error in search engine you will definitely find some stack overflow suggestion for many of the errors which occured by Java programs because java is an open source programming language which is used by many people and that’s why if anyone found the solution for particular solution they will just put that solution into this website And the another way is to check the interview of the developers so from their you can also get some inside of what these developers are doing or what the process or road map the follow to become that developer so that’s it.
Learn With Breaks
Nowadays, most people are spending their time with a computer for the academy, job or business, but most of the time they forget to take a break instead of continuing learning or doing their job because if you are working on a task say solving a bug or creating a feature and it is at high priority then it is fine to work with but if you are following that scenario in your daily life then you will suffer from serious problems like back pain, eyesight problems and many more, So whenever you are working it’s your responsibility to take brakes and make it a habit, for example, working 1-2 hours and taking a break for 5-10 minutes is more than sufficient because our goal should make feel relaxed to our eyes, back, or whole body.
Learn From Everywhere
As Developers, our responsibility is to help people by solving their issues or giving them a way to do things in less amount of time. So Learn From Everywhere is a method to observe things in front of you and analyze those things and understand is that things take less time or more or what changes will make that thing impactful or add some value to our life. This enables us to solve real-life problems with the help of the internet.
Try and Failure Method
In a Developer’s life at every development, they are facing lots of challenges, and if all the developers use this method then definitely it will add some new experiences to your life. Most of the time at the start after listening or understanding the given problem statement we are on the verge of thinking and sometimes we got our solutions by thinking only but most of the time we cannot solve the given problem statement by thinking So at that time we need to think of whatever the data we have just start using that data and try multiple methods and its fine if you are failing but learn from your mistakes at the end, you are with your intended solutions. So start following the try-and-failure method whenever needed.
Check Your Track
In everyone’s life, they are learning things from everywhere to excel in their career, but most of us are learning those things which will not be used in our careers or which are less intended, For that reason, we must have a habit to track our learnings by using Check Your Track Method. Check your track is a method in which we are making a list of skillsets or learning we want to do and check that when we have done that learning part also we should add those things which are not part of it but add value to our life.
Protect Yourself
Protecting yourself means adding good habits like sleeping time, having a good diet, walking daily, and doing exercises to feel body relaxed. Let’s discuss some of it in a little deeper, For a Sleeping time I want to say that the sleeping time should be 9 to 11 pm at night and wake between 5 to 7 am, and also in the afternoon after doing lunch you can sleep for 15 minutes it will make your whole body relaxed if needed. And another one is walking, walking is the best habit to do after lunch it helps to digest food and also we can walk in the morning and take a deep breath while walking to make lung’s oxygenated.
Grow With News
Grow with news is a really important thing to know Because news enables us to find real word problems and unlock some business logic mindset. It also connects us with the world which helps us to connect with the surrounding people and any important news which should be shared with our neighbors.
