Street Coder: The Rules to Break and How to Break Them

“An incredible book to learn the craft of software development through a new perspective: One thatis not fuelled by religion or blind following of best practices, but one that actively challenges best practices and thus requires you to think about their prosand cons.!” Sebastian Felling

“This is like having a mentor in a book who is sharing all their mistakes and notes on what they’ve learned in a nice little package.“ Joseph Perenia

“A fun, broad, anddeep conversation with an experienced programmer about coding, packed withpractical advice.” Adail Retamal

“I wish I couldread this book several years ago, thus, I could have saved a lot of time.” XuYang

“Contains the pragmatism an experienced software developer has gained over the years of being at the trenches (or streets as he prefers to call it).” Orlando MéndezMorales

“Great book for thenew and used, self-taught, formally educated, and otherwise curious programmers doing dirt -aka street coders.” Robert Wilk

Street Coder: Rulesto break and how to break them is a guide for beginner programmers making their move from learner to developer. Written by self-taught pro Sedat Kapanoglu,it takes the best practices you learn in a computer science class and deconstructs them to show when they’re beneficial―and when they aren’t! Theeasy-to-follow C# examples easily translate to any modern programming language.

In this practical guide, you’ll learn how some antipatterns and “bad” programming practices can actually be put togood use, and develop an ever-questioning mindset for assessing techniques ontheir own merits. This book is built on the kind of challenges you’ll face onthe job―from technical projects like building a search feature, to succeeding in a dysfunctional team with a paranoid manager. When you’re done, you’ll be street smart and ready to start creating efficient software.
