Apprenticeship Patterns by Dave Hoover

Apprenticeship Patterns by Dave Hoover

Software developers face an ever-changing and ever-expanding technology landscape. Developing technical skills is vital, but there are dozens of soft skills and learning techniques you need if you're to grow. This book helps you learn how to 'Nurture Your Passion' by finding a pet project to help you rediscover the joy of problem solving.

Dave Hoover became a programmer in 2000 after a 4 year career as a family therapist. Dave's interest in programming has continued to grow since his unexpected career switch and he continues to spend most of his days elbow deep in the technical aspects of software development. Dave founded Obtiva's Craftsmanship Studio in 2007 and leads an agile team of apprentices and journeymen from Obtiva's home office in Chicago, IL. As a team leader, Dave's job is to develop software developers while developing software. Dave lives with his wife and three children in Wheaton, IL. Adewale Oshineye is an engineer at a little-known search engine named Google. This is a consequence of many deeply geeky evenings spent programming 8-bit computers when he was a child. When he grew up Adewale somehow fell into IT consultancy. His career at consultancies such as Thoughtworks gave him the chance to work on projects ranging from point-of-sale systems for electrical retailers to trading systems for investment banks. It also gave him a chance to learn from some of the most interesting software craftspeople in Western Europe. In those rare moments when he's not in front of a computer he can be found behind a digital camera somewhere in London.
