About the book: 2015 / In this book you will not find descriptions of specific technologies, algorithms and programming languages ​​- that is not its value. It is a collection of practical tips and recommendations regarding situations that any developer sometimes encounters: lack of motivation, choice of priorities, programming psychology, relationships with management and colleagues, and many others. Such knowledge usually comes only as a result of many years of experience in real work. By and large, this is a brightly and engagingly written guide that will help anyone who has set such a goal to quickly make a career in the software development industry. Of course, experienced programmers may find some of the author’s ideas quite obvious, but even for such there are topics that will allow them to reconsider established views and reach a new level of skill. For those who are only at the very beginning of their journey as a developer, reading this book will undoubtedly open up the broadest prospects. The publishing house expresses gratitude to A. V. Shuvalov and A. I. Kuryshev for their assistance in working on the book.
