Here’s a nice slideshow from Chris Coyier about how to stay up to date on web technology.
My personal suggestions
Here are some of my experiences:
- be social - yep, also on the web, so “don’t rant, become social and contribute”. There are so many nice places, like StackOverflow, Hackernews, GitHub,… Participate → discuss → contribute → learn
- share - …what you created, your experiences, difficulties. Create your own blog to do so, it helps a lot in internalizing and reflecting about stuff
- follow great people - …on their blogs, Twitter, GitHub,…
