A non-technical guide to how modern software is developed, from the first line of code to its release. You’ll learn about the effectiveness of agile teamwork, the role of programming and software architecture, and how software is deployed and operated on cloud platforms, and securely accessed over the internet using web technologies.

Everything is presented in a friendly, step-by-step manner, without assuming any prior knowledge, providing just enough detail to give you the big picture while keeping your sanity intact.

This is not just another dry encyclopedia filled with buzzwords and confusing jargon. It’s designed to help non-developers understand developers and to help developers grow more understood.

If you’re a project manager, product owner, scrum master, QA specialist, business analyst, aspiring developer, student, considering a career change, or just curious about software development, this book is for you!
