about the technology
Fresh-faced CS grads, bootcampers, and other junior developers lack a vital quality: the “street smarts” of experience. To succeed in software, you need the skills and discipline to put theory into action. You also need to know when to go rogue and break the unbreakable rules. Th is book is your survival guide.about the book
Street Coder teaches you how to handle the realities of day-to-day coding as a software developer. Self-taught guru Sedat Kapanoğlu shares down-and-dirty advice that’s rooted in his personal hands-on experience, not abstract theory or ivory-tower ideology. You’ll learn how to adapt what you’ve learned from books and classes to the challenges you’ll face on the job. As you go, you’ll get tips on everything from technical implementations to handling a paranoid manager.FREE domestic shipping on orders of three or more print books
This is the book that I wish I’d had when I started in the world of application development.
This is one book I will be re-reading.
I started my career as a street coder, and wish I had read this book at that time so I could have avoided many detours and saved a few years of my career.
There are few books which a developer or an architect can keep in their bookshelf forever. This is one such book.
A fantastic read, particularly for developers just beginning their first proper job in the industry, but also a worthwhile investment for more experienced developers.
A must-read for every developer level!
In the real world you have some tough decisions to make and the formal theory that you learned in your CS study or courses won't be enough—thus I really appreciate the message that this book delivers: know what matters in the streets, be questioning and results-driven, and embrace complexity and ambiguity.
I find the "streets" metaphor of the book especially on point.
