Are you interested in finding how good you are as a programmer? In this situation, you can perform all sorts of tests that are available online, but I recommend mostly the questions that are available on w3schools.com. There, you can find also the answers, but only after you respond to all the questions that are included in a quiz.
On the site named StackExchange.com, the Questions section I have found out that the good programmer has several characteristics, that I will also presented in this article. It seems that if you have a lot of skills in programming and if you say to all of your friends that you're very good at one thing or another, it means that actually you aren't that good. A good programmer is said to think about himself or herself that he/she isn't good enough, this is why they keep studying.

I believe that this is true, no matter your specialization. For example, you can be a very good doctor, but if you show off with your skills, you will lose some of your patients, because they will not trust you simply because you are recommended only by yourself, not by your patients as well, you should let your patients or the clients, in the case of a programmer to recommend you. I like very much what one of my clients says. He works in the transport industry, he earns a lot of money yearly, he dresses like a normal guy, he has a very regular car, he sends his son to a very good school indeed, but to a school where you also can send your children and says about himself that he is good at what he does, only that every day is a new day to start learning something else; also in the field of transport.

What I like very much about my clients is the fact that he doesn't have a card that recommends him to the persons that he meets. He says that his card is represented by his work. “Do you want to learn about me?” he says. “Search for my name and you will find everything you need to know”. He says that he doesn't like to invest in business cards, because he and his company are more than just some letters and some numbers printed on a visit card. This is why he says that he is represented by his company, by what he has left behind him. This is how good programmer also must be.
