As many as 65% of software developers around the world have learned the job themselves. This is because a big part of the population believes that software development does not need any formal teaching. As a skill easily developed on your own at home with just a laptop and an internet access, you do not need any official education.

What these 32% fail to understand is that though self-learning can produce a software developer, it majorly compromises on the quality. When you have access to experts in the field, you will learn countless tips and techniques that the internet is unable to teach you. Furthermore, a formal certification in the field opens doors to trillions of new and exciting opportunities.

Have a command over everything

Professionals around the world are often advised to become a master in one area. However, when it comes to software development, doing so is not such a good idea.

Avoid clutter like the plague

As you are writing a code, remember to be as neat as possible. Keep it as simple as you can. Stop and take time to unravel that loop as you write. The future you would thank you when revising the code. Having a neat code makes it ten times easier to fix any bugs in the future.
