Unrealistic schedules, unstable releases,
continual overtime, and skyrocketing stress levels are legendary in the
software development industry. Unlike traditional occupations such as
accounting or administration, the software business is populated by programmers
who are as creative and passionate about their work as musicians or artists.
For most, it is a complete surprise when they enter the business world and find
that internal politics, inept management, and unrealistic marketing drive the
process rather than a structured and orderly approach based on technical issues
and quality.
The Career Programmer explains how the
individual programmer or project manager can work within the existing system to
solve deadline problems and regain control of the development process. Care is
taken to offer proven, practical, and hands-on solutions that are designed to
work when confronted with the political and chaotic realities of the business
environment. Issues are addressed from the points of view of both the
programmer and project manager, and steps are shown in all perspectives, from
large-scale teams down to projects with a single developer. For the individual
programmer or project manager, the end results are less overtime, less stress,
higher-quality software, and a more satisfying career.
