I think this book will be beneficial for developers at all levels. For those who think that software development is not only about coding.What I liked the most about the book is a lot of interviews with practical advices from great experts.It answers many challenging questions that chaotic world of software development is facing:how to learn more effectively, how to become better collaborator, how to use social media to your advantage, how to keep up with technologies and the most important how not to burn out by doing more but make you life as a software developer more enjoyable.

Rafael Chinelato Del Nero Oct 19, 2023

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.
