About the Book
Career Development is not end of year reviews from HR and lofty action plans which are swiftly ignored. Many developers are happy to keep their head down and just keep coding. Whilst there’s nothing inherently wrong with this it is guaranteed to lead to a stagnant career without opportunities. This book is for developers who are smart enough to know that they must take ownership of their own careers and offers a specific roadmap to move to becoming a senior developer and dev lead or team leader, depending on preference.
This is a book full of actionable advice. The intent isn’t to read it and go “that’s nice”- it’s to read it and be able to put the recommendations into practice straight away. This advice isn’t just coming from my experience, but that of the ten senior developers at companies such as Google, a number of leading financial firms and a variety of other companies. This makes the book language and specialty agnostic.
If you’re ready to become a better developer and a better employee, then start reading now.
