Continuous Learning

Why?

Software development is an endless pursuit of knowledge. There were many significant advancements in just the past decade and the tools and languages drastically change every year. The technologies you know today might already be obsolete tomorrow. How do you stay relevant in this age of fast-paced industry? The answer is Continuous Learning.

From E-learning: Concepts, Trends, Applications:

On a personal level, continuous learning is about the constant expansion of skills and skill-sets through learning and increasing knowledge. As life changes the need to adapt both professionally and personally is as real as the changes themselves.

On a professional level, continuous learning is about further expanding our skill-set in response to a changing environment and new developments. This is very important because we are called to respond to changes daily; for example, the introduction of computers in the workplace created a need for people to train on computers to complete tasks more efficiently.
