The reason I wrote Keep Calm and Code On is to help other software developers in their careers. In order to stay true to this goal, I don't want money to ever prevent someone from furthering their education.
With that, there are handful of ways to get the book at no cost to you:
If you work in software development, this book is written for you and could be covered by an education budget if your company provides one.
(While you're at it, why not start a book club at work? 😉 I honestly believe that the best way to learn the topics covered in this book is by active discussion with coworkers.)
To make the reimbursement process even easier, here's a template you can use if you need to provide justification in an expense form:
Keep Calm and Code On is a book about soft skills and mental models that will help me improve as a software developer. Each chapter is a case study in different mistakes I'm likely to encounter in my daily life at work and how to avoid them.
By reading this book, I will learn techniques that will help me write quality software and become a better teammate overall. Once I've finished it, I plan to share the lessons I've found most valuable with our team.
Request the book at your local library. This is great because it not only allows you to read the book for free, but others get to read it as well in the future as well!
If none of the options above work for you, just email me and we can work together to find a way to get you the ebook at no cost.
