How to Become a Programmer: Everything (Non-Technical) You Need to Know to Start Making Money Writing Code
Rob Walling wrote:In early 2007 I put my thoughts down in abbreviated form in the post Advice on How to Become a Programmer, but judging by the number of new questions I continue to receive (all of which are answered in this book), it’s obvious this subject deserves a more in-depth look than a blog post can deliver.
Everything contained in this book is based on 10 years of professional software development. I've been a salaried developer, a freelance developer, a consultant, a development manager, owner of a consulting firm, owner of a small shrink-wrapped software company (a.k.a. a MicroISV), and a technical author. I’ve written software that has never seen the light of day, and software that processes millions of transactions per day.
