About the Book

If you are a software engineer, this book will level up your career in so many ways.

The Beginning Software Engineer’s Playbook contains habits, techniques, and mental frameworks to adopt and use in order to sustainably grow in their careers. It’s a practical playbook that you’ll be able to revisit time and time again throughout your career in order to strategize on how to best tackle an issue or overcome an obstacle.

I wish I had this book when I first started my programming journey! The author gave some pretty solid insight into where and how to best direct your focus as beginner, and offered tons of PRACTICAL advice on things that most forget to mention (e.g. becoming familiar with your company’s codebase, how to properly shadow, becoming a great teammate….how to avoid nuking prod on your first day). If you’re just getting out of school, recently landed your first role, or even an experienced dev working with a new team or framework, I fully recommend it.
