Like all technical professionals, Web developers must keep their skills up-to-date. I do so by staying active in the Web development world — specifically:

• writing Web development articles for various publications
• reading computer programming books, and writing detailed reviews, which are published on leading technical news websites
• editing programming books for publishers
• participating in technical user groups
• giving talks on Web development topics
• listening to podcasts on the latest innovations and tools in the world of Web design and development
