Publisher's Summary
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)

Good read for developers of all experience
I've come to almost the same conclusions when it comes to software development and dealing with people. To name a few:
- your first programming language is not that important
- learning next programming languages is way easier than 1st one
- it's worth invensting in yourself (education, clothes, etc.)
- people judge you by the way you dress (whether you like it or not)
- soft skills are really important for software developers
- in order to advance your career you cannot be "quiet"
What I've learnt:
- it's a good idea to become more popular (blogs, podcasts, talks)
- starting realistic, simple project and sticking to it is better than having many complicated ideas that will never get finished
- as a boss/leader you shouldn't be micromanaging employees
What I didn't like:
- I disagree that it's really that important to have CV prepared by professional company
- I'm not sure about making friends with HR before interview and buying them lunch. In company that I work for all the employees had to go through training that was really against such behaviours
- a little bit too much promotion in my opinion. Author was really honest about this in the book, but I still feel that a lot of time was spent on marketing.
To sum up I've really appreciated this book and I sincerely recommend it.

Less Learning, and More Self-Help
This book is a collection of stories that have nothing to do with the practical application of how to's and where to start. It's more about you can do it and don't give up. Waste of money, grab code complete instead.

Had such a hard time getting past all the egomaniac self promotion so I figured I should go check out the links he is spending half the audio promoting... wow what a rude awakening it was to see what kind of creep he is with his “bulldog mindset”.

The Complete Bro-grammer's Career Guide
It's nice to have all of this information condensed in one source but it is all very superficial and nothing that you can't find on free blogs and message boards. Most of it is just common sense and he comes off as really arrogant and pushes his other books on you. What really lost my interest was when he compared selling yourself for an internship to imposing yourself on women to get a date. He claims to be a dating coach (what can't this douche do?) and says that all women are secretly wanting you to impose on them, that they secretly want you even though they say no. As a single women with lots of female friends I can assure you that if a woman gives you signals that she's not interested, she is definitely not interested. This belief perpetuates rape culture and is completely false. Women are not fickle mysterious creatures. We are straight forward human beings if you listen and pay attention. Yes, if you are super pushy and a narcissist that doesn't take no for an answer then eventually you will find someone who will give in. I would not recommend this asshole approach for selling yourself as a future employee or as a romantic partner.

Excellent! Highly recommended audiobook!
I am a novice programmer, with almost a year of experience in Autonomous Driving Systems Manual Test Engineering/ QA. This audio book is great! The information John provided hit every point; answering a number of questions I had as I plan my learning path in python programming and preparing my career in development. I was even able to use John’s teachings in the operations of my tattoo studio, and project management for my content writing business. I am very entrepreneurial; this book and John’s information filled website helped me fill some holes with many questions answered! I have recommended this book to a number of tech savvy comrades.

A good book ruined
The authors need to continually sell himself, his other book, his website, his blog…along with his incessant yet irrelevant sidebars… are time wasting and highly disrespectful to his listeners. The content is generally good, but incredibly hard to stick with it due to the simply appalling production of the audio book.
A direct message to John Sonmez, get over yourself and tighten up this audiobook, and it’ll be far more successful. If you take this on board and message me back, I’ll edit this review accordingly.

great book, annoyed about the downloadable content
this book is full of good advice, and a lot of pro tips. it also keeps refering to some downloadable content when you can find the full list of this or that.
I listened to the book and kept telling myself 'ill go and check that out' because I was keen to see the various lists and extras.
unfortunately this list is only available at an extortionate price, it is not an extra with the book.
so although the book was good, I have knocked it down to three stars based on the promise of extra content without mentioning any additional cost.

Great book
While it wont specifically teach you how to code, it does give you a very good insight into working as a developer. could be freelance, for a company, or starting your own business, this covers it. There are also .some good lessons about personal practice and self motivation that have started to help me.
Read in a great way by the author, with notes and clarification through out. Would recommend to any developers or anyone thinking about entering the field. (Software Dev uni student here in Europe).

A fantastic guide to everything around your career. My profession is only partially related to the field of programming, but I found this audiobook very helpful. The author has a nice and clean voice, reads with a reasonable speed and has a proper American accent. I thought there were too few details on some topics, but throughout the lecture, there are many suggestions on how to gain more knowledge e.g., what books to read. I did not like the parts when the author added some real-life examples that were not in the original book. These parts seemed to be rushed and spoke in a different manner, but some listeners might find it interesting and refreshing. Definitely a must-listen for everybody who wants to progress their career (just skip technical chapters if you're not into programming).

Incomplete, a lot of fluff, quite basic
Feels more like a podcast than an audio book.
Sounds like he used the wrong mic to record it, there's no background noise but there is a lot of treble and its quite harsh on the ears.

Best Programming Audio book I've ever read!
I wish I listened to this book many years ago, but so glad I finally discovered it. Very engaging, entertaining and jammed pack with essential knowledge every developer should know and the first programming book with pragmatic advice on how to deal with IT related office politics!

Easy listen and Comprehensive
John Sonmez is a great narrator, easy to listen and although this is a long audiobook (a positive them given the topic) his voice never feels “droning”.
A large range of topics are covered and he is extremely comprehensive when covering each and every detail required for a job in IT industry.
When listen to audiobooks (especially on the topic of IT) I often find it necessary to also purchase the book for the visuals or even small benefits like bookmarking or referencing for later. However, while this book would make a great contribution to one’s bookcase, I didn’t feel the need this time due to how well it was written and how well it was translated into the audiobook format.
I have been a software engineer for 10+ years but we’re still able to pick up quite a number of hints/tips and so would recommend this to a beginner up to an old hand.

Excellent
A book with content that answers the questions you've asked and never got answered . . and those you didn't know you should be asking.

If u take the tour without him u often get lost or spend to much time on things u shouldnt. if u only get one thing for this book it will be the years of ur life bak trying to figure out where and what to do next.
