This article is the second part of the Science of Expertise series. Before reading along, read The Science of Expertise: introduction to Perceptual Learning. the resources mentioned in this series is also found at the end. A Better Way to Practice Ruby: Deliberate Practice Perceptual Learning results are promising. Unfortunately, no research has been made for programming yet. In this article, you’ll learn what we apply from what’s been published regarding Perceptual Learning in several domains....

How do you become an expert? Why some Ruby developers can’t explain what they know? Why some developers don’t develop expert skills? What does it mean to be a Ruby expert? To discuss these questions, we’ll explore Perceptual Learning (PL) research. PL is a natural learning process that complements traditional Education. It accelerates expertise by speeding pattern recognition, intuition and fluency on a given subject. Ever since I found out about Perceptual Learning in the book “Badass - Making users awesome”, from Kathy Sierra, I got really curious to learn more about the science behind Perceptual Learning....
