Summary


The short length of this chapter is in stark contrast to its importance. If there is one thing I could leave you with after reading this book, it is that the best developers know how to seek out and find solutions for themselves from the many sources available to us. Sometimes, those solutions are in books like this one; other times, they are in documentations, blog posts, forums, podcasts, or even in conversations that you strike with other people. The developer that can not only find these solutions, but also integrate and truly understand them, will be incredibly valuable for the rest of their career. However, if you feel overwhelmed at the beginning, do not fret because we all started there. Focus your energy on one problem at a time and don't settle for a solution that just seems to work. Make sure that you understand every solution you put in place and you will quickly, without even realizing it, become an incredibly proficient developer.
