Product Description
Book Description
Illustrates how programmers, developers, and software engineers can make their work a profession; not just a job!
Renowned software expert Steve McConnell presents his latest thoughts on the condition of the software engineering profession
Helps software developers regain the sight of the big-picture reasons why their jobs matter
A thinking mans guide to the current state of software

Synopsis
Renowned software expert Steve McConnell helps software students transition to the role of software professionals. Significant developments are afoot that will impact the future careers of student programmers, including initiatives in education, professional development, certification, and licensing. Some of these developments are well thought out and positive; others are being forced and need to be improved before they are standardized. Software development is changing, whether programmers recognize it or not. Programmers who are not paying attention could easily find themselves working as twenty-first century software janitors. This book describes the occupation of computer programming as it exists today and the profession of software engineering as it can exist in the future.
