The CTO Playbook

The art of developing an application has been well described in various coding books that you can find gathering dust on almost all developers desks around the world. This is not that book. There may be some technical references, but astonishing few of them considering this is a CTO-book. And why’s that? This is a book for people who ended up in the situation of having to work with other people building applications — also known as “developers”. Or fresh CTO’s, Product People or whoever is interested in running dev teams. Spoiler alert: you will not learn to code here, nor do I have all the answers to everything. However I’m putting together my thoughts and experiences based on working for various companies in various industries. Or, more importantly, working with different groups of people in different settings, getting an application together from scratch. So that’s what this book is about. Yep, there will be a few pointers and ideas. No, I’m not claiming to know it all. But you’ve read this far and now thinking if you want to continue to check out the rest, so why not? I’ve put together some topics where I think I could contribute. Happy reading!
