1. Get on Twitter
2. Read StackOverflow Daily
3. Start a Blog
4. Get out there – Get out of your shell and start talking to other developers at local user groups/other meet ups/conferences
5. Carry around a modern phone
6. Embrace Mobile – Do you think this “mobile” thing is going away? Well, it is just getting started. You need to know more than how to develop for the iPhone, WP7 or Android. You need to learn how to create web applications that will run on every mobile device. (Including phones, iPads, Windows and Android slates). I believe that every developer will have to create a mobile application in his/her programming career. This is something a modern developer cannot ignore.
7. Learn at least one design pattern
8. Set reachable goals each and every year
9. Learn a different programming language
10. Boost your confidence
11. Read Blogs/Programming Books/Magazine
