This addresses the realities of the business world that programmers are never taught in school! In virtually every software development shop, programmers battle unrealistic deadlines caused by arbitrary management, vague requirements, inadequate time for design, and a host of political and bureaucratic roadblocks that are all too common. While design methodology and project management books abound, they're of little help to the average programmer who is never given time to do things "the right way". The Career Programmer offers practical, unconventional techniques that developers can use in any business environment to regain control of their projects, meet their deadlines, increase software quality, spend more time coding, and waste less time coping with self generating crises. Additional topics address such issues as effectively selling ideas to management and improving career options.
Christopher Duncan is a veteran contract programmer with over a decade of experience in both small companies and large corporate environments, such as AT&T, Equifax, and Bell South. In the course of writing the column 'Programming in the Real World' for the popular developer Web site Code Guru, he received a continual stream of emails from developers the world over, all seeking advice on the same development obstacles common to the business world. Irreverent, unconventional, and occasionally controversial, his focus has always been less on the academic and more on simply delivering the goods, breaking any rules that are inconvenient at the moment.
