a lifetime?!
For me, it's about 20 years that I first touched a computer. But I also wasted a lot of time with games Wink | ;) I had many obstacles that in hindsight helped me a lot.

But seriously, to become a "useful developer", there is something that takes time, and can't be cut short.

It starts with having experience with a lot of different things - be it languages, protocols, concepts, ideas, paradigms, tools. Later, this allows you to move smoothly between layers of abstraction. At one point, your product, your software becomes independent of all these ways to communicate - with peers or compilers.

Only recently I achieved the point where I move between programming languages without effort, I don't really know how to express that, but let me try:

Software is a thought. Programming means giving this thought a clear shape, turning a vague cloud of smoke into a crastyl with asharply defined corners. OOP, UML, C++, C#, Scheme, Assembly, TCP/IP, German are all languages to express this thought, to explain this thought to your compiler, your collegue, or your PC. But the concious part of your mind isn't thinking how to express a certain thought in a certain language, but it is busy shapingthe thought itself.

Sounds more esoteric than I'd want it to be. And there are lots of programming things I am terribly bad at (that's not a weak attempt at modesty, but a provable fact).

Tips? Learn to read - read a lot, read fast. That's the most valuable skill you can actually train.
