About the Book

One of the key skills a senior software engineer should have is to write Technical Design Documents (TDD). However, not many companies actually teach their engineers how to write a good one. Many engineers have to learn by doing or observing how other engineers do it.

Many engineers can code perfectly but they don't really know where to start for TDD. Many of them question whether there is a need to write one. From my decades of engineering experience, TDD is a must and even a tool to help engineers achieve engineering excellence and create good systems with grounded principles.

This tiny book will guide you through the writing process of a Technical Design Doc. It also comes with a real-life example of a Technical Design Document.
