The Software Developer's Handbook
Volume 1
A 30+ year career starting in the 1990's, this is one developer's journey into code. This book tells a story of code and what you need to know in your first 1-5 years of coding. The book traces my own stories and lessons, in the hopes that in sharing an honest and real account, you will gain more than simply reading a text-book. The book is human-centred, discusses career, soft skills and generally what you need to survive in the world of code.

About the Book
The book is filled with advice for beginner programmers, while it meanders through roles and life to thinking about certain aspects of code. It's not a coding book, it's a how-to survive and get better at coding, but it has code in it too, demonstrating cohesion, coupling and other aspects.

About the Author
J.B Crossland
Hi, I am Jonathan, an author, software developer and creator of the AMMERSE Value System.
I am on a mission to identify and call to witness, strange, misleading or delusions embedded within our systems. Whether it's the nonsense with virtue signalling organisational values, to estimations, there will always be a lot to unpack and point out.
Ultimately I am working on the value system model, a model which attempts to bring cognition, human psychology, behaviour and culture into a value system so that we can broaden our understanding of what it means to be human.
I am also working on my first novel.
