Tired of those YouTube videos that promise you’ll master coding in a weekend? This book won’t do that.

Ten years ago, I was there too. Stuck. Watching video after video. Reading tutorial after tutorial. And learning tools and concepts I didn’t know when (or if) I’d ever use.

One day, I typed “How to get better at coding,” and fell into a rabbit hole of contradictory advice. “Document your code...” “Don’t document your code...” It took me years and trial and error to figure out what actually works.

If you’ve ever asked that same question (on Google, YouTube, or ChatGPT), this book is for you.

If you’re a junior coder, mid-level developer, or just feel like your coding muscles have atrophied from too much AI, Street-Smart Coding has something for you.

Inside, you’ll find 30 proven strategies to level up your coding skills. Some conventional. Some learned the hard way. And a few... weird ones. All battle-tested.

• One of the tips will save you from staying at work until 3:00AM. That’s on Chapter #21.
• Another tip is to watch a TV show. And no, it’s not Mr. Robot or Silicon Valley. That’s on Chapter #29. It will teach you about problem-solving.

Some examples are in C#. Because C# has paid my bills for over 10 years, and that’s the language I know best. But...

No matter what language you’re learning, these lessons will help you be and code like a pro.

These are the lessons I wish someone had shared with me when I was starting out. The lessons I learned over 10 years of coding in tech companies and software agencies, making plenty of mistakes.
