"Fantastic advice, as always! Great points and very applicable to anyone at _any_ level of their career." - Eric Mann

About the Books
Going Pro
Thoughts on becoming a professional programmer
What makes a developer a "professional developer"? Getting paid? Getting quoted? Publishing a book? Let's take a look at this.
This book looks at the traits that define a professional developer. Not the hard tech skills, those change with the tools being used. These are the soft and quasi-soft skills that developers have to master to be considered a professional developer.
Just bought and re-read “Going Pro” by @CalEvans. Trying to re-read the universal truths at least once a quarter.

Uncle Cal's Career Advice to Developers
Cal Evans has been a developer for more than 30 years. He is not a digital native, he is a digital pioneer who helped settle the wild west of the World Wide Web.
"Uncle Cal's Career Advice for Developers" is the text behind his keynote talk at php [tek] 2017 of the same title. It is a short read in which he gives developers five pieces of advice to ponder when thinking about their career.
See what others are saying:
"As usual, Cal knocked it out of the park. His career experiences uniquely qualify him to give this kind of talk, and his passion and charisma shines through." - Steve Grunwell "Flawless. Fantastic advice throughout, entertaining and passionate delivery. There's a reason Cal does keynotes at like every conference - awesome stuff. 10/10 "would silently judge again" :)" - James Titcomb
