Become a Great Engineering Leader is now in print

And you can get a discount for the eBook. What's not to like?

Don’t worry — it’s not going to be just a promotional post this month. There will be an article as usual in a couple of weeks.

However, I wanted to stop by and take the opportunity to tell you that my latest book, Become a Great Engineering Leader, is now available to be pre-ordered in print!

If you want to pick it up, there are a few options:

• Bookshop (US only)

• Amazon (US)

• Amazon (UK)

• Amazon (Canada)

• … and any other Amazon site for your country, by replacing the domain name with the relevant one.

Or, alternatively, ask your local bookshop to order it.

If you’ve enjoyed the writing on the website and newsletter over the last year or so, it’s been a test bed for a lot of the material in the new book.

In it, we focus on what it means to go beyond managing just one team, focussing on the skills, tools, and frameworks that you’ll need in order to be an effective Director of Engineering, VP of Engineering or CTO.

This is the spiritual successor to my first book, Become an Effective Software Engineering Manager. You’ll recognise the return of the illustrations, characters, and the hands-on, practical writing guiding you in the next stages of your career.

And guess what?

If you’d rather not have a heavy piece of tree on your desk, then you can get 40% off the DRM-free eBook directly from the publisher using the coupon code JSENGLBCOMPLETE for a limited time only.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback, ideas and guidance as I went through the peaks and troughs of another book, especially one that I was pushing to finish before our daughter arrived.

I’m always grateful towards those of you that reach out with your thoughts.

That’s all for now — regular programming will return shortly.
