If you use twitter, I&#x27;d recommend following a couple of Javascript groups, this will help keep you informed. Also follow a couple of JavaScript publications on Medium too.<p>It&#x27;s important that you are always updated as a developer because tech is really fast-paced, I was not fortunate enough to know this when I started programming 4 years ago in college because we had poor&#x2F;no internet connection.<p>But with regular internet connection, I have learnt a lot and in a very short time.<p>I cannot not over-emphasize the importance of having steady source of programming info, especially if you do not have a mentor around you as was my case too starting out.<p>Also familiarize yourself with Git, create a github account because many companies use it a lot for collaboration.<p>PS: I live in West-Africa and I currently work remotely as a software developer for companies in New York and San-Fransisco and write a lot JavaScript daily.
