Street Coder cover

Software development isn't an "ivory tower" exercise.Street coders get the job done by prioritizing tasks, making quick decisions, and knowing which rules to break.

Street Coder: Rules to break and how to break themis a programmer's survival guide, full of tips, tricks, and hacks that will make you a more efficient programmer. This book's rebel mindset challenges status quo thinking and exposes the important skills you need on the job. You'll learnthe crucial importance of algorithms and data structures, turn programming chores into programming pleasures, and shatter dogmatic principles keeping you from your full potential.

Every new coder starts out with a lot of theory; the "streetsmarts" come with experience. To be successful, you need to know how toput theory into action, understand why "best practices" are the best, and know when to go rogue and break the unbreakable rules.
