Professional Software Development by Steve Mcconnell

Renowned software expert Steve McConnell helps software students transition to the role of software professionals. Significant developments are afoot that will impact the future careers of student programmers, including initiatives in education, professional development, certification, and licensing. Some of these developments are well thought out and positive; others are being forced and need to be improved before they are standardized. Software development is changing, whether programmers recognize it or not. Programmers who are not paying attention could easily find themselves working as twenty-first century software janitors. This book describes the occupation of computer programming as it exists today and the profession of software engineering as it can exist in the future.

Steve McConnell is regarded as one of the most influential authors and speakers in the field of development. He is the Chief Software Engineer at Construx Software and the principal developer of Construx Estimate and SPC Estimate Professional, which won the Productivity Award from Software Development magazine. He is the author of a number of publications, including Code Complete and Rapid Development, both of which received the Jolt Award from Software Development magazine.
