A while ago I finished my Msc in Electrical Engineering and started working as an engineering consultant where I mostly do development work.
I am good at picking up languages/technologies tools. I have fiddled with C/C++/C#/perl/ant/bash/html/css etc.
Although I have never had a complain for my work, rather the contrary, I just feel that some day, someone will ask me a real hard task which would maybe seem rather trivial for a computer scientist but hard for me.
Should I read/do something to become a better developer. Should I pick up a book about design patterns or algorithms for example? Is this normal that I have this kind of "fear"?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question. Please notify me so I can close it if this is the case.
