How to be a programmer

At the end of the C# Yellow Book I include a few links to useful resources for readers. One of them is to “How to Be a Programmer”, an article I came across many years ago.

I got an email from a reader who’d made it all the way to the end of the book and found that the link doesn’t work any more. I did some digging and I found a link to a free version hosted on GitHub here. You can also buy a proper printed copy, or get it on Kindle by clicking the image above.

It is a really good read. Everyone who wants to be a programmer (or just make things for people) should read it. And then go back and read it again every few years.
