Software Engineering at Google with Titus Winters

Thanks to the amazing books, blogs, videos, quickstarts, frameworks, and other software-related resources, getting started as a software engineer is easier than ever.  Although you can get started in a day, it can take years to become a master of the craft and most practitioners describe it as a profession of lifelong learning.

Titus Winters is a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Google and the author of the book Software Engineering at Google, often known as “the flamingo book”.  This book is not just tips for structuring, writing, and testing code.  It’s a resource that outlines all the facets of the software engineering practice that apply in professional settings through the lens of lessons learned at Google.
