Written for those gifted coders and programmers who get wrapped up in how complex their code is and forget the basics of how to be successful in a corporate culture, this guide will help put these programmers on the fast track to promotions and raises. Programmers fresh out of technical school are shown how to make the transition into a corporate setting by managing the interview process, learning from the programmers already in the workplace, and learning the business side of programming. Seasoned programmers are provided with tips on how to please supervisors, how to maximize their worth in corporations, and how to develop mentoring relationships. Advice on moving out of the corporate world and becoming an entrepreneur either in the consulting arena, in writing package software, or in founding a software development company is also provided.

Paul H. Harkins, president and chief technology officer of Harkins Audit Software, Inc., holds BS and MBA degrees from Drexel University and is a graduate of the IBM Systems Research Institute (SRI). He has worked as a corporate programmer for more than 40 years, including 21 years at IBM.

Mr. Harkins is experienced in all the ins-and-outs of corporate programming from his perspective as a programmer, a consultant, a senior systems engineer, and a C-level executive. His background includes handling programming for hundreds of customer accounts worldwide and creating one-of-a-kind business systems for IBM.
