Shortcut to seniority
Most (or all) books teach you about one specific subject. I'm not here to do that. I'm here to show you what programming actually means, with good things and bad things, with happiness when the code compiles, to wanting to throw the laptop over the window after 10 hours of debugging and not figuring it out. It's all part of the process. During my transition from a junior to a senior developer, I've noticed that there's so much information out there - which is great. The problem is, it's too much to filter the good one from the bad one. You probably don't know where to start, you're not sure what to read, you don't know if a post/video/book/course is relevant to you, and so on. Maybe you don't even know whether you want to write web apps or games. How can you make the right decision for you unless you know all your options?
Programming will give you a lot of satisfaction, and a lot of frustration as well. It will make you happy and proud of your code, when you finish a feature and you see it working, and it will drive you crazy when you debug the code for days in a row. You'll find yourself forgetting the basic syntax, and making beginner mistakes from time to time. You'll copy paste code from other sources, multiple times a day. You'll have to reduce the quality of the code to meet a deadline, and you'll have your code rejected multiple times until it reaches a higher quality. And, in the end, you'll have to deal not only with the computers, but with all kinds of people as well.
I've happily invested more than two years to write this book, so I can share the information within with the world, and help the next generation of developers reach their potential.
Whether you're curious about programming in general, or you're already in the industry, but feel that you're not advancing, I assure you that this book is a great investment in yourself and in your future
