The book reveals how to optimize both your code and your career, from achieving a good work-life balance to writing the kind of bug-free code delivered by pros.

Timeless advice on acing interviews and setting yourself up for leadership will help you throughout your career. Crack open this one-of-a-kind guide, and you'll soon be working in the professional manner that software managers expect.

Success as a software engineer requires technical knowledge, flexibility, and a lot of persistence. Knowing how to work effectively with other developers can be the difference between a fulfilling career and getting stuck in a life-sucking rut. This brilliant book guides you through the essential skills you need to survive and thrive on a software engineering team.

Skills of a Successful Software Engineer presents techniques for working on software projects collaboratively. In it, you'll build technical skills, such as writing simple code, effective testing, and refactoring, that are essential to creating software on a team. You'll also explore soft skills like how to keep your knowledge up to date, interacting with your team leader, and even how to get a job you'll love.
