Overview

Software developers aren't so much misunderstood as under-understood. We're more than coders, the smelly nerds in dark corners from the movies. We're certainly not acolytes tending to the black magic churning behind computer screens, keepers of secrets too difficult for ordinary people. We're a different breed, sure, but our lives are neither isolated nor mysterious. All you need is a guide, and that's why I wrote Thinking Beyond Coding. In this book we'll learn what the development career is all about as we compress my 11-year career into 93 pages. This book isn't about coding puzzles and tricky algorithms. This is a book about developers, but for anyone. We'll explore how we our careers start, what makes us tick, and what drives us crazy. It's for anyone interested in software development...or software developers. So if you want to learn about software development, this book will show you the ins and outs. If you're sick of coding books, this book will be a refreshing change. Or if you just need help relating to the developers in your life, this book will help you learn why we look so different.
