Advice Needed: Comma Usage
Hello,

I'm not sure if the following sentence is structured quite right.

Quote:
This focus has greatly promoted my software development skills, especially my ability to develop algorithms and debug code.


Is the usage of the comma correct in this situation?

Thank you for your time and efforts in answering this question.

Sincerely,

Matt

yes, the comma is ok... but the word 'promoted' doesn't make sense in this context... you seem to have meant 'expanded' or 'improved'... or something more along those lines...
