Some good advice in this article. The most valuable thing I've picked up as a young programmer is the importance of finding your own learning style. Some people read books, some watch podcasts, some can just read the documentation and go. I've found that browsing example source code in the language/framework I'm using (with some light documentation reading) does well for me. It may take you too long to learn the skills, languages, or frameworks required by your post-graduation employer if you never took the time to find the best way to teach yourself.
