Software engineer syllabus

This is an ad-hoc list of posts or books that would form part of my software engineering syllabus if I were to make one. The list grows when I remember something I’ve read before or discover something new.

Source control

Testing

  • Property-based testing. Since many people start with Python, I’d start with the Hypothesis docs.

Design

People skills

  • Turn The Ship Around, and its sequel, Leadership Is Language, by David Marquet.

Documentation
