Junior Dev Manual
Complete software development career guide
This is the book I wish I had held in my hands when I started learning to program those few years ago.
A software engineer career gives great satisfaction, but at the same time, it is very demanding. Especially when you take your first steps. When almost 6 years ago I wanted to learn programming I was desperately jumping from one article to another trying to understand where I need to start.
It was an ordeal. I made a lot of mistakes and lost a lot of time. All of that could have been easily avoided.
I wrote down my experiences so that you could have a better start. In this book, I walk you through all the steps you need to go through to find your first programming job. I’ll give you practical advice on how to make the process of becoming a junior programmer as smooth as possible.

FAQ
Who this book is for?
How long have I been working on the book?
April 2021 marked exactly two and a half years. However, this is not a time that I worked on my book continuously. For example, there were four months in which I didn’t even write a single page. Generally, I spent a lot of time looking for appropriate subject matter for each chapter. Please remember that the work on the book is still going on.

Yes, I am planning to release a Polish version as well.
