Summary:	"One of the most significant books in my life."--Obie Fernandez, Author, The Rails Way "Twenty years ago, the first edition of The Pragmatic Programmer completely changed the trajectory of my career. This new edition could do the same for yours." --Mike Cohn, Author of Succeeding with Agile, Agile Estimating and Planning, and User Stories Applied ". . . filled with practical advice, both technical and professional, that will serve you and your projects well for years to come." --Andrea Goulet, CEO, Corgibytes, Founder, LegacyCode. Rocks ". . . lightning does strike twice, and this book is proof." --VM (Vicky) Brasseur, Director of Open Source Strategy, Juniper Networks The Pragmatic Programmer is one of those rare tech books you'll read, re-read, and read again over the years. Whether you're new to the field or an experienced practitioner, you'll come away with fresh insights each and every time. Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt wrote the first edition of this influential book in 1999 to help their clients create better software and rediscover the joy of coding.
