8,855 PointsHow to be a better programmer
I have finished the ruby track, and finished couple books of ruby. And also working on couple projects, but I feel it is hard to improve. So, does anyone have a better way for it?

If you want to master something, teach it.

31,522 PointsI've not done Ruby, but a good way to practice is to make your own projects and programs. Then, you've got practice writing up your own code, and can see good ways of using it.
For example, I wanted a way to add the numbers 1 through 10 together. There's a formula to do that as well (look up Gauss if you're curious), but writing different ways of solving the problem helped me understand Java more.
