A remarkable book that provides a unique perspective on modern software development. A distinctive and unusual feature is the way modern software development principles are explained holistically in terms of all project activities. The focus on key employment skills and knowledge also makes it a must read for aspiring developers.

- Chris Beaumont PhD FBCS FHEA, Chair of Examiners, NCC Education

I wish this book was around when I was starting out 30 years ago. It’s a manual for all aspects of software development and the scope of the role in business, rather than focusing on being a ‘coder’. I particularly like the fact it includes client aspects, which are usually forgotten!

- Andy Doyle, Director, Nice Group (SW) Ltd

As a leader of many software development teams, this book will be indispensable to modern developers and managers alike. It will not teach you how to write .NET, but will help when someone who does tries to bamboozle you with jargon. It is brilliantly written and easy to digest.

There are many books which describe various technical and theoretical aspects of software development. However, few describe what’s actually involved in day-to-day software development. This book is one of those few and should be of real interest to prospective and early-career software developers.

As a security researcher and advocate for embedding security in the software development process, it is enlightening to see this book dedicate some detailed coverage to consider use of defensive coding techniques, GDPR from a developers point of view and looking at specific vulnerabilities and associated mitigations taken direct from the OWASP Top10.

A great book for both those thinking of working or progressing in the commercial software development industry.
