Apprenticeship Patterns: Guidance for the Aspiring Software Craftsman by Dave Hoover, Adewale Oshineye

5.0

As it usually happens in real, I only came across this amazing book several years from when I most needed it in my professional career. By the time someone referred me to it in 2014, I had already begun my long journey to become an apprentice and aspiring journeyman. I like to tell people that I learned things the hard way, getting my education from The School of Hard Knocks. To this day I still believe that the Sweep The Floor and Be The Worst patterns were designed with me in mind! Of course I didn't know that there were patterns to describe what my professional life going through, and maybe this was a good thing in the long.

This book should be mandatory for anyone setting out on their own journey to a new career. It is chock full great career advices and it just might change your life!
