This post is a chapter from my upcoming book The Complete Software Developer's Career Guide. I'm writing the book live on this site week-by-week. If you enter your favorite email address here, I'll send you the prior chapters and get you caught up - then send every new chapter as it comes out!

Note: While this website seems commercial and the text formatting is not very appealing, the actual content is quite interesting. As a self taught programmer you might be missing some fundamentals that you should focus on more than a fresh Computer Science graduate.
