In my first few years as a developer I assumed that hard work was all I needed. Then I was passed over for a promotion and my manager couldn’t give me feedback on what areas to improve, so I could get to the senior engineer level. I was frustrated; even bitter: not as much about missing the promotion, but because of the lack of guidance.By the time I became a manager, I was determined to support engineers reporting to me with the kind of feedback and support I wish I would have gotten years earlier. And I did. While my team tripled over the next two years, people became visibly better engineers, and this progression was clear from performance reviews and promotions.This book is a summary of the advice I’ve given to software engineers over the years – and then some more.This book follows the structure of a “typical” career path for a software engineer, from starting out as a fresh-faced software developer, through being a role model senior/lead, all the way to the staff/principle/distinguished level. It summarizes what I’ve learned as a developer and how I’ve approached coaching engineers at different stages of their careers.We cover “soft” skills which become increasingly important as your seniority increases, and the “hard” parts of the job, like software engineering concepts and approaches which help you grow professionally.The names of levels and their expectations can – and do! – vary across companies. The higher “tier” a business is, the more tends to be expected of engineers, compared to lower tier places. For example, the “senior engineer” level has notoriously high expectations at Google (L5 level) and Meta (E5 level,) compared to lower-tier companies. If you work at a higher-tier business, it may be useful to read the chapters about higher levels, and not only the level you’re currently interested in.The book is composed of six standalone parts, each made up of several chapters:Part 1: Developer Career FundamentalsPart 2: The Competent Software DeveloperPart 3: The Well-Rounded Senior EngineerPart 4: The Pragmatic Tech LeadPart 5: Role Model Staff and Principal EngineersPart 6: ConclusionParts 1 and 6 apply to all engineering levels, from entry-level software developer, to principal-and-above engineer. Parts 2, 3, 4, and 5 cover increasingly senior engineering levels and group together topics in chapters, such as “Software Engineering,” “Collaboration,” “Getting Things Done,” etc.Naming and levels vary, but the principles of what makes a great engineer who is impactful at the individual, team, and organizational levels, are remarkably constant. No matter where you are in your career, I hope this book provides a fresh perspective and new ideas on how to grow as an engineer.Praise for the book“From performance reviews to P95 latency, from team dynamics to testing, Gergely demystifies all aspects of a software career. This book is well named: it really does feel like the missing guidebook for the whole industry.”– Tanya Reilly, senior principal engineer and author of The Staff Engineer's Path"Spanning a huge range of topics from technical to social in a concise manner, this belongs on the desk of any software engineer looking to grow their impact and their career. You'll reach for it again and again for sage advice in any situation."– James Stanier, Director of Engineering at Shopify, author of TheEngineeringManager.com Read more

Python is a programming language that has existed for over 20 years. The history of Python started in the late 1980s when its founder, Guido van Rossum, started working on it. The inspiration for Python programming came from the ABC programming language, whose first version was introduced in 1987. Guido van Rossum was one of the main implementers of the ABC programming language.Later, in 1989, he started developing Python, and the very first version, 0.9, was released for usage in February 1991. Since then, Python has been in development for over two decades and consists of a wide community of developers who keep releasing newer updates and features of the programming language.Guido van Rossum was given the title of “Benevolent dictator for life” by the members of the Python community to honor him for his long-term dedication and commitment to the project and for being the project leader for such an extended period.The programming language was named “Python” because Guido van Rossum liked a BBC comedy series called "Monty Python's Flying Circus". He wanted the name to be short, unique, and slightly mysterious, thus ending up the programming language “Python”.Have you always wanted to Learn Python Programming but you have thought it to be too difficult for you?Are you a beginner or maybe you master other programming languages and you want to Learn Python Coding fast and efficiently?Are you looking for the best Python Crash Course?If yes, then this book is for you.
