Whats the strategy ? Is it Books, online, Feeds, community meetups, talks, courses, certifications ? which helps the best ? References if you have other preferences.

I've been working in software for the better part of two decades, and from my experience the answer is... all of the above and more. But ultimately I don't believe anyone can give you a formula that will work specifically for you since only you know you the best.

For me personally it's reading every pertinent book, magazine or blog post I can get my hands on, endless sandbox experiments, side projects when I can, and meeting other developers face-to-face. YMMV.

thanks and yes I keep doing this but it is getting harder with so many distributed knowledge source. HN and some feeds are getting me there but I feel I can do better
