How do you keep up with changing technologies?
jacquesm: I think the big trick is to know when not to chase what's new and hot, but simply to concentrate on solving problems, and solving them well. If you use the right tool for the job behind the scenes nobody cares what you built it in if you just expose the front end and it works well.Technology is becoming more and more like the fashion industry, "What, you're still using (insert name of language here), that's so 2003...".If you try to chase the ever changing bleeding edge you'll end up knowing lots of tech but only shallow, pick a blade, learn it until you know it inside out, then look further.Though it won't hurt you to at least know what's going on out there there is absolutely no way a single person can actually keep up and stay current with all that's out there.
