About the Book

The Byte Guide is a step-by-step, complete tutorial on launching a career as a self-taught software developer. You'll learn how to turn your interest in computers and technology into a six-figure income, without a college degree. Author Casey Crookston has two decades of insider experience. He has worked on and led teams creating software for Audi, Honda, Toyota, American Airlines, Barbie Girls, UnitedHealth, and numerous smaller businesses. He is self-taught and has crafted a career in software development with no initial technical training or background.

How is The Byte Guide Different?

Most self-taught software developer books only teach a single language, usually the favorite language of the author. The Byte Guide takes a more clean, pragmatic and practical approach. Because technologies and languages evolve rapidly, Casey explains the pro's and con's of the most in-demand languages (Java, C#, etc) and the most popular platforms (Apple, Android, and Web). He then guides you to the best online learning tools and helps you customize a course curriculum that best fits both you, and your career aspirations.

This book will teach you:

  • What you can expect to earn, and how to rapidly increase your salary after landing your first job
  • The pros and cons of the three most common software engineer career options: 1) entrepreneurism, 2) contracting, and 3) full-time employment
  • How to find companies that match your personality, lifestyle, and career goals
  • How to work remotely from anywhere in the world
  • The foundations of software and software development
  • Which skills and programming languages are most in demand, and which ones are right for you
  • The best online training tools to teach yourself the right skills to craft the career of your dreams
  • The applications (apps) and industries that currently provide the greatest stability and best income
  • How to gain experience when you don't have any
  • How to create a killer software development resume
  • Tips to ace your interview and land your first job or even your dream job
  • How to get promoted, and what to expect when you become a manager

Who should read this book?

The Byte Guide is specifically written for those who are considering or beginning a career in software development. Cracking into this industry can be confusing. The multitude of language options and career paths can be daunting, yet this book clears away the mystery and confusion and explains in simple and distilled terms what you can expect when breaking into the software engineering business. The Byte Guide's main objective is to turn those without a deep computer science background into heavily recruited and well-paid programmers and developers.
