Being a software developer is all about constantly honing your skills. But it’s not always an easy task.
You don’t always have the room or the time to take out your Kindle, or it may just not be your thing.
I would like to share my experience as a Python developer living in a world where there’s hardly any time to waste.
I start each day with a 30-minute drive to work; audiobooks made it possible for me to recover that seemingly wasted time, and made driving (something I had always detested in the past) an enjoyable experience.
However, if you think your daily commute might not be the best time to listen to an audiobook, then how about listening during a workout or a walk? If you live near a park or any other safe place to bike around, or if you have a stationary bike, you can get some educational entertainment along with your exercise.
Once you find a place and time to start listening, all you need is a simple pair of earphones and a phone strapped onto you—if that’s not the case already.
Actually, there is one more thing you are going to need: something to listen to.
The listening material I’d like to recommend to you can be divided into two categories: podcasts and audiobooks.
