DEV CONCEPTS COLLECTION
Your guide to the fundamentals of software development
A 12-volume collection of digital books to help junior software developers build an exceptional career
Get a complete understanding of how every concept in software engineering fits together.
What happens when someone realizes that you're out of your depth?
Your only option is to ask for help and:
- Sit blank-eyed, not understanding how their complex solution works
- "Get it" after annoying them with multiple questions
Either way, every day you log off with your brain completely fried.
Fact is, it's exhausting and demotivating trying to understand what you just don't know. You wind up feeling plain dumb with a growing mindset that it's just impossible
But if it's impossible, how did others do it? What do they have that you don't?

Understand the entire development process so you don't make project-destroying mistakes.

Frequently asked questions
I’m unmotivated and frustrated because of a lack of progress — not laziness. Is this going to fix that?
A book isn’t going to magically fix your career, but it will give you the mindset you need to succeed in software development.I don’t have time to read an entire book... let alone a collection! Can I still learn something here?
Yes! While it’s recommended that you do a quick read-through, the volumes and chapters are designed to stand alone. Every time you face a particular problem, you can do a quick search and find the chapter that will help you the fastest. Plus each section includes external links and resources that you will help you dive much deeper into the subject matter.Will this collection teach me the technical side of engineering?
Dev Concept includes many practical examples and code snippets, but it isn't a replacement for hands-on training. Most of the concepts are presented in isolation to facilitate comprehension.How does the Slack group work?
The Slack community is where you can send questions about all aspects of software engineering and IT. Your questions will always be answered by a senior engineer. You can ask questions about technical issues, conceptual ones, or even about how to deal with work challenges. We’re a friendly community that’s excited to welcome you!What if I don’t like the collection? How does the money-back guarantee work?
If you're not satisfied with the content, then contact me within 14 days and you'll get a full refund. The only thing I'll ask is to understand what did not meet your expectations.Why are only some of the volumes available right now?
Dev Concepts is a huge project. I will release a new volume every few months. If you purchase the lifetime plan, you will get immediate access as soon as it’s published. In addition, the content will be updated regularly to remain relevant and up to date.I don’t understand what’s in each volume
Check out the description of each volume, and the full chapter breakdown for each volume. You can also free samples volume 1 here.I’m not so sure about the standard edition... Can I buy just a single volume instead?
You can buy each volume separately. That being said, I recommend the Lifetime Collection Bundle to save €75.Subscribe to DeveloPassion's newsletter
