For new software engineers, knowing how to programme is only half the battle, and many of the skills and processes key to success are not taught in any school or bootcamp. The Missing README fills in that gap with workplace lessons, best practices, and engineering fundamentals that the authors have taught rookie developers at top companies for more than a decade. This is the book your tech lead wishes every new engineer would read before they start. By the end, you'll know what it takes to transition into the workplace - from CS classes or bootcamps to professional software engineering.
