Bruno and Heather are deeply involved with the Java community and do a fantastic job helping developers with consequential insights to become highly skilled software engineers and gain visibility in the market.I learned a lot from the insights of this book. Deliberate practicing and consistency are powerful concepts that will take any software engineer to the highest level. I recommend the book because I applied the deliberate practice technique, and that rocket launched my career. And that's only one insight. There is much more in the book!

I'm not a typical "Developer Career Masterplan" reader. I'm an educator, not a developer. My interest in reading "Developer Career Masterplan" is to help me advise college students. What's more, I'm quoted in the book.Does this book contain good advice? For the most part, yes. But the book's strength isn't in having readers believe every idea and follow every step. The book's strength comes from the vast number of career development issues that the book addresses. Every paragraph of the book's 280 pages deals with an interesting question about an individual's career choices.I read the book with a critical eye. I agree with some pieces of advice and disagree with others. One way or another, each piece of advice stimulates my thinking. If I agree, it energizes my belief in a particular notion. If I disagree, it makes me mentally argue my case. For issues that I've never thought about, the book opens new vistas.So here's my advice to people who read this book: Don't plan to read it cover to cover. Instead, read a few paragraphs, then put the book down and think about what you've read. Skip around if you like. It'll definitely pay off for you.

These industry experts share their wisdom, strategies, and experiences, adding a whole new layer of value to the book.– Engaging Structure: The book is well-organized and reader-friendly, breaking down complex ideas into digestible segments.In a field where staying current is a necessity, the "Developer Career Masterplan" serves as a timely, invaluable guide. The interviews with Java Champions, including myself, bring an added layer of expertise and practicality to the book. This isn't just a book to read; it's a resource to refer back to throughout your career. It is highly recommended for anyone committed to excelling in the software development world.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
