This book for those who teach people to build software. I found that the software engineering, and software development textbooks were missing the collaboration issues that challenged my students.

I teach undergraduate and postgraduate students at a university in Scotland. I cover the basics of programming applications through to training in agile processes. Maybe you do the same, or are an agile trainer, or guide people through coding bootcamps. You can also follow the story further by joining the email list at https://simplybegin.co.uk, where I also write on this important topic.

I have found textbooks on software engineering never discuss how the students should collaborate together. There is never anything about how to do the work: individual work, pairing, or mobbing, for example. Nor is there anything about how they should integrate their code, or build slices of the application in an agile process. My notes over the years on these topics have led to this book.

My goal is to help you teach people the human side of software development. This book shows you the topics, and options that are available to help your students find their way to have more fun developing software, and be prepared for what life throws at them. This book also provides you with details and examples that you can adapt to your classroom.

You will be able to pick the software engineering textbook, that suits you, and then use this book to fill in the gaps on how you guide your students to do the work together. This book will save you time and effort in your teaching. By using this book you'll teach your students how to win at team collaboration in software development.
