hello, I'm a python & Qt programmer, and my daily job is create small PC GUI programs ship with hardware devices.

the problem is, My job is simple, read/write data to device by using serial port(pyserial), display and edit data(PyQt + PyQwt), that's all. although I'm a linux user, my program is running under windows XP, but thanks to PyQt, I can still develop under linux.

And I'm always afraid of being replaced by the people cheaper and younger than me in the future. (I'm 26 now.. not too much time for playing..)

So I need improve myself, and make me more competitive in the global market, and I like programming, and want coding till the end of my life.

any roadmap suggestion?
