On today's episode, John Sonmez joins me to talk a bit about his brand new book, Soft Skills (Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Soft-Skills-software-developers-manual/dp/1617292397), and about the importance of branding yourself as a developer. John has graciously offered two awesome gifts to Developer Tea listeners! The first is a discount on John's course on how to market yourself as a developer!
