Technical knowledge alone isn't enough - increase your software development income by leveling up your soft skills

Early in his software developer career, John Sonmez discovered that technical knowledge alone isn't enough to break through to the next income level - developers need "soft skills" like the ability to learn new technologies just in time, communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate a fair hourly rate, and unite teammates and coworkers in working toward a common goal.

What you will learn in this book:

• How to systematically find and fill the gaps in your technical knowledge so you can face any new challenge with confidence
• Should you take contract work - or hold out for a salaried position? Which will earn you more, what the tradeoffs are, and how your personality should sway your choice
• Should you learn JavaScript, C#, Python, C++? How to decide which programming language you should master first
• Ever notice how every job ever posted requires "3-5 years of experience," which you don't have? Simple solution for this frustrating chicken-and-egg problem that allows you to build legitimate job experience while you learn to code
• Is earning a computer science degree a necessity - or a total waste of time? How to get a college degree with maximum credibility and minimum debt
• Coding boot camps - some are great, some are complete scams. How to tell the difference so you don't find yourself cheated out of $10,000
• Interviewer tells you, "Dress code is casual around here - the development team wears flipflops." What should you wear?
• How do you deal with a boss who's a micromanager. Plus how helping your manager with his goals can make you the MVP of your team
• The technical skills that every professional developer must have - but no one teaches you (most developers are missing some critical pieces, they don't teach this stuff in college, you're expected to just "know" this)

Awesome Book

What a stud. John Sonmez went all out with this one. Plenty of gems in the book. The value I got from the book was 1000× what I invested in it. As an up and coming Developer enrolled in a coding bootcamp, this book has been a game changer.

Awesome is a must to read for every developer

I couldn't stop listening. John has touched most of the situation I've experienced during my career as developer.

Take action

The most important thing that this book preaches is the value of taking action. Start a blog, a youtube channel, finish projects. Do. A lot.

Loved it!

Incredible!

Extremely thorough information on everything you want to know and didn't know you wanted to know about being a software developer! This book fills in the falls that technical books leave out. A Must Have for all Software Developers!!

great starter book

seemed honest about things such as work environment, how to prepare and notice opportunities normally you dont seek normally.

Delightful!

This book is incredibly rich and so well structured. It is a true Masterpiece. Absolutely brilliant!

A master piece of mentorship from experience

I listened to this book looking for some little advices and good suggestions but I found more than I ever expected.

I saw my whole life in software development and I wished to have reached this material before a lot of times meanwhile I enjoyed this enthusiastic guy explaining better ways of thinking and doing.

I firmly recommend this book to anyone seeking to begin or improve a career in software development.

Enjoy!

Required For All Software Developers

I’ve been a fan of John Sonmez for a couple years now, so when I knew he was coming out with this book I just had to have it. This book is a must have for any software developer. I would even go as far as saying this book has fallen somewhere in the pantheon of the greats much like Clean Code by “Uncle Bob”, which is referenced by John multiple times. John tells it how it is with a no bullshit approach, he is funny, informative, and he knows what he is talking about. As a “newer” developer This book has been very helpful, informative on my next steps to take my career to the next level, and motivational. Definitely worth the money, definitely worth the credit, I can’t recommend this book enough. John, you knocked it out of the park, you are awesome!

A must read for all software developers

This book is a must read for all software developers. Every second of the book is exciting and engaging. It applies to software developers at all levels. I'm really glad that John Sonmez, narrated the audio version himself. His narration style make the book even more exciting.

Very knowledgeable guy

Very helpful book. Not overly technical and some chapters weren't really helpful for me, but good real world knowledge shared.
