    1. CODo you think the only thing Lance Armstrong does to improve his cycling is actual cycling? Wouldn't there be some other types of exercise that he could do to improve his cycling ability? Writing a thousand CRUD applications isn't going to help you to learn anything. You have to be branching out, and programming stuff you haven't programmed before. This is the only way you are going to learn. Programming things you haven't programmed before is going to require things like, reading books, so that you understand what you are trying to accomplish, and how one would normally go about doing it.

    2. CO@rein: This is really poor advice. To increase your skills at programming you do need to program, sure, but I agree with Kibbee, you also need to learn from others. You get that from classes, reading well-written code, pair-programming, and ... books. Studying books like Joshua Bloch's Effective Java and Hunt & Thomas's The Pragmatic Programmer really does help. I've seen too much poor code from people that program without actively learning from others.

    3. CO@Kibbee and @Jim : that's why I said: Read any supporting information as you go. Too many people simply read and think that it will turn them into whatever they read. To be a programmer, you have to program. Period. To master programming you need to program AND study various literature to aid you. Simply studying the literature won't make you into anything. Program first. Then use literature to guide you where you might go wrong.
