about: I am the author of five books, four about software development and one about managing your manager. My technical books are "Kotlin Cookbook", "Modern Java Recipes", and "Gradle Recipes for Android", all from O'Reilly Media, and "Making Java Groovy" from Manning.My latest book is called "Help Your Boss Help You" and is all about building a relationship with your manager that gets you what you want from your job when you want it. The book is intended for working professionals, defined as people who currently care more about doing their job well than moving through the ranks of people management, but who still have to deal with managers all the time.I'm happy to try to answer any questions about any of my books here.
