Beautiful Teams
Inspiring and Cautionary Tales from Veteran Team Leaders
by Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene
Praise for Beautiful Teams “Stop complaining about your coworkers. Instead, get your team and your boss to read Beautiful Teams. It proves the the amazing potential of teamwork and how it can happen in your company.” —SCOTT BERKUN, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE MYTHS OF INNOVATION AND MAKING THINGS HAPPEN “The striking diversity of these histories, experiences, and reflections tells a broader, deeper story than any single author could manage. Somewhere in this book you’ll certainly find key tips for dealing with the very team-building and team-running issues you’re having today, as well as outlook-broadening views of issues that are quite outside your experience so far.” —ALEX MARTELLI, GOOGLE “In Beautiful Teams, the many contributors step back from advancing their usual prescriptions to celebrate their own successes (and yes, challenges) within teams. In this celebration, they provide some of the best insights that we can carry forward into our own careers.

Head First C#
by Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene
Advance Praise for Head First C# “I’ve never read a computer book cover to cover, but this one held my interest from the first page to the last.

Applied Software Project...
by Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene
S AY A PROJECT THAT STARTED OUT AS A SMALL , STOPGAP UTILITY has turned into a raging behe- moth, sucking seemingly unlimited time from your programmers. Or the president of your company announced that your project will be done this week, even though you know that it still has an enormous number of bugs. Or your team delivered the software, only to have users complain that an entire feature is missing. Or every time the team fixes a bug, they seem to uncover a dozen more—including ones that you know were fixed six months ago. If you are a software project manager, you may recognize these problems (or similar ones) from your own career. Many software organizations have problems delivering quality software that is finished on time and meets the users’ needs. Luckily, most software project problems have surpris- ingly few root causes, and these causes are well understood.

by Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene
Praise for Head First PMP “I have been doing project management for over 30 years and am considered a subject matter expert in the PMBOK(r) Guide -Third Edition primarily because I am the Project Manager who led the team that developed this edition.... I can honestly say that Head First PMP is by far the best PMP Exam Preparation book of all I have reviewed in depth. It is the very best basic education and training book that I have read that presents the processes for managing a project, which makes it a great resource for a basic project management class for beginners as well as a tool for practitioners who want to pass the PMP exam. The graphical story format is unique, as project management books go, which makes it both fun and easy to read while driving home the basics that are necessary for preparing someone is just
