I caught myself jotting down useful notes along the way. I will definitely be recommending this to others and I will be gifting copies to my team this Christmas. Thank you for taking the time to write this book! Tarah Murphy I'm loving this book! As an established business owner who knows her craft I am yet inspired by Oumar's wisdom. As entrepreneurs we should never be found saying "I'm good. I've learned all I can learn" We should always learn and get inspiration from various outlets....well, this is an outlet. I urge business owners alike to read this book as well as your team. Get the spark back and get inspired all over again is what I'm getting out of Ourmar's book. Kilani Haralson I could not wait to load this book. It is a great and easy read. The book makes you think about your dreams and gives easy steps to pursue them. This is a great book to revisit when you are having a hard time mastering your craft and keeping you focused. I love that I have it on my phone and have access to it anywhere and anytime. I haven't been able to put it down since the download has stopped. Great Job Mr. Hill..looking forward to many more books in the future Kiwana Stuart Oumar's book has given me the opportunity to view reasons I continue to fail at things that I am destined to accomplish! After reading and sharing it with my close family members and friends, I view success in a whole different light. I believe we are all destined to be great outside of our 9-5 jobs, but we all fall short once we have a routine that's comfortable. With Oumar's "Mastering Your Craft 21" I learned what I was doing wrong. Jennifer Akunide

Software Craftsmanship


Book Description

This book introduces the author's collection of wisdom under one umbrella: Software Craftmanship. This approach is unique in that it spells out a programmer-centric way to build software. In other words, all the best computers, proven components, and most robust languages mean nothing if the programmer does not understand their craft.
