One of the most important questions that I ask new-hires in the interview process is How do you stay involved?.
How do you stay involved?
How do you keep uptodate?
What publications do you read?
What shows or programs do you watch?
Every year I attend a few annual conventions.
Cuyahoga Falls Hamfest & Computer Expo
notacon
Fort Wayne Indiana Hamfest & Computer Expo
& this year I got to attend Hope in New York City.
On top of this I get to see the latest Viruses & Mal ware as they are released, & infected items come into my shop. I learn background working of Operating Systems & security software at the previously mentioned festivals to learn how to either combat or prevent malicious software &/or configuration issues in the Windows Operating System as well as usage of alternative Operating Systems & softwares.
It's important to understand what we know & how we learned it, getting us to where we are today. Because if you stop learning for too long, you'll find that technology has passed you by & it's much harder to catch back up with current trends than to just stay afloat & stay informed.
& that's really the purpose of this topic is to share not only the information but how we're learning it, how were evolving, & how we're staying informed so we can all learn at a broader pace.
