Good starting point to be a professional developer?

Question

First of all, sorry for my poor english.

Having some years of experience in developing legacy applications like vb6.0, ASP, .... and some experiences in .NET, I feel that I should do more better.

Now, my question is: Where's a good starting point? How? which books?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

At the very least, read these 2 ebooks on SOLID and refactoring. There are some principles that apply all around, beyond specific languages.

Keep working on projects, making extra effort to keep the code clean and DRY helps improving your skills.

Learn about the underlying pieces i.e. asp.net -> http/html/css/javascript
