Discussion on: Need tips to start software engineering <Post 1>

1. Read, not only new stuff, get your head into classic software engineering papers and books.
2. Evolve, never stop learning, keep your knowledge fresh and your practice fresher.
3. Adapt, programming and engineering is always changing, so, change with it.
4. Develop, any idea you get, build it, it doesn't matter the complexity, just do it, if you get stuck pause it and start something else.

Some good ways to start is to follow blogs, and search for code challenges.

p.s. Programmers write code, engineers solve problems.
