Being a medical doctor requires less training than being a programmer. Good programmers know many programming languages, operating systems and everyone in the company's job and have plans to improve them. Many programmers at night browse the web, news groups, download and play with applications. In other words, they work all day and learn all night. I have seen programmers reading computer books on their honeymoon.
People learn by reading, listing, watching and participating. Reading retention is 25%, listing retention is 25% and watching retention is 50%. Participating keeps your mind from wondering off. You also loose what you don't use. So repeated learning is essential. Video tutorials that allow you to participate are the most effective. The reason i5 computers don't sell better is the lack of education. IBM has produced lots of books. I have used a text reader to read them to me. I have created MP3 of Frank Soltis and listened to them while driving to and from work.
Many programming tasks are very complicated and sometimes you only do that task once. Wouldn't it be great if you could define the desired results and a magical list of steps would be generated. Look around, you may find that magical list.
I use the following software to help preserve my knowledge for others to use.
Free online tutorials (videos): The first 1/2 of the lesson is free and that may be all you need.
