Christoph Rumpel has posted a list of ten things he thinks will help you be a better programmer overall.

It is easy to become a web developer these days. The only things you need is a computer and Internet. But I believe there is big difference between a developer and a good one. Good developers are like little heroes. They are awesome in what they do and are there when you need them. A real benefit to the our world and definitely someone you can look up to! I believe everyone can make this step and start being a better developer today. This is why I asked great developers from all around the world what they think makes someone a really good developer.

His list covers more than just good coding practices too. He suggests things like:

• Experimentation
• Reading the code of other good developers
• Just build websites
• Contribute to other projects
• Watch out for the Hypetrain
• Never give up

He includes a quick summary of each of these and the rest of the top ten list too. Be sure to check out the full post for more.
